I had the best visit to this local Delaware lingerie store. I really couldn’t wait to visit Buttercups
when I heard that there was a store that carried band sizes 28-50 and cup sizes
A-K. And they don’t just stock the
smaller cups with the smaller band sizes or the larger cups with the larger
band sizes. If you’re a 28G or a 44B,
you’re more than likely going to find something. If they don’t have it in stock, they’ll order
it so that it’s available in the store for you to try on. They’ll order anything for any of the brands
that they carry. On with my experience…
Lemme just say: the
first great part is that it’s right near a Starbucks. J But, when I got to the store, the “great”
continued. The two sales ladies—Victoria
and Stephanie—greeted me immediately upon entering (always a plus) and asked if
I’ve even been in the store before and what they could help with. I really just wanted to browse to see what
they had. I did ask what fitting method
they use. I think I threw them a bit when I asked if
they used a two-, three-, or five-point measuring system—they use the same as
where I work, a two-point system: underbust and fullest part.
The store decor is painted in a bright, sunny yellow on
three walls and one wall painted in a royal blue and white pattern—very regal. It has a good layout with most stuff on the
walls and a few racks on the floor. Some
of the wall racks are front facing, some are side facing, so the variety is
good. It doesn’t look like a department
store but is set up in a way that makes you want to browse.
Read about their impending opening in an article from a year ago, spring:
They carry most of the high end, well known brands: Panache,
Elomi, Cleo by Panache, Freya; and the owner, Christy said that she’s looking to add other brands such as Chantelle and
the like once they see what is available at the trade show this weekend.
I told them what I had already tried and they suggested a
few others, which I tried—didn’t love them, though, so I didn’t buy
anything. However, my plan is to find
what fits through various online retailers but purchase at THIS store. I’m such a huge advocate for shopping small business
that I don’t mind driving the distance to get there, especially since they’re
willing to order anything that I’d like to get just so that I *can* buy from
them.
They have a facebook page as well as the website that I
linked above. They’re very easy to get
to. From Route 1 in Delaware, you take
the Middletown/Odessa exit and head west towards Middletown. You need drive just over a mile (passed the
High School) and turn left when you see Saladworks at the corner of E Main St
and Silver Lake Rd. If you miss that
turn, you can take the very next left (Dickerson Blvd) and then double back
through the shopping center parking lot.
The storefront faces Acme grocery store and shares a very large parking
lot with it.
From Dover Air Force Base, it’s less than 30 minutes via
Route 1 and less than an hour to take Hwy 13 if you wish to avoid tolls.
Well worth the drive if you’re looking for a bra that
fits. Tell ‘em you read about them on “If
The Bra Fits.” :D
