    I love CHANGE. The quality of the products are excellent, the fit is great (they have a HUGE range of sizes), styles are lovely, and the staff is very well trained and knowledgeable. I also find that the prices are very reasonable.

    You have to get fitted in this store because their sizes are unusual. But I've never found a bra that fits me better than my CHANGE bras. I also love the experience you have in the store. The sales associates always work with you to make sure you find the perfect fit - which I think is really important for a lingerie store. So many women wear bras that don't fit them properly, we need expert guidance!

    I highly recommend checking out a CHANGE store. I had a great experience at the Queen St. location so I will absolutely be going back.

    I have been a Change fan since I went to this store 3 years ago. I never went to another lingerie place again. I have recommended this place to all my friends, co-workers, enemies who have saggy boobs. Just today, i took my gym buddy at Change and she loved it.
    The staff are really great especially Raquelle. I recommend this place to all woman,

    I went to this store on the recommendation of a friend - who just happens to be a very well-endowed woman...just like me. So I thought I would share my thoughts for all your big-boobied girls out there since, if you're like me (42DDD), you know how few options there are to find bras in the city at a reasonable price. I usually resort to cross-border shopping as even stores like Addition-Elle don't tend to fit me well and frankly I find them costly for the small selection and quality.

    On this trip, I was specifically looking for a sports bra because I work out pretty much every day, but can't for the life of me, even in specialty stores, find a sports bra that a) fits me without looking completely inappropriate and b) actually provides support with rigorous workouts. Due to lack of product, I basically wear two cotton bras combined for support.

    Immediately I found the store welcoming. The staff approached me right away and almost on sight alone, was able to size me. I went in with little hopes of finding something that would fit and be supportive, but managed to do just that. The bra isn't pretty - but who cares? Its for working out! But its really supportive, and literally has adjustable army-grade velcro straps so that you can strap those puppies in...very happy about my purchase. Bought a white and black one at about $50 a piece. Completely worth it.

    The rest of their lingerie does come in bigger sizes but it is true that availability is a bit of a problem. They may only get one or two of the larger sizes - so if you find something you like - this store is not one of those places you can walk away from and "think about" whether or not you want to get it. Chances are, it won't be there when you go back. But for women of size, there are lots of options and all at reasonable prices that rival Addition-Elle and the like. They also have bikinis, but alas not in my size...but they said it should be coming soon. Happy Day!

    Definitely recommend to anyone.

    i got fitted at change and was extremely impressed with their service. the SA showed me very patiently what to look for in a fit and made sure each bra i tried on fitted properly...and i tried on at least 10! she also brought me tees to try on just so i can see how the bras looked under a tight shirt. also, she proved that i was wearing the wrong size my whole life...i am a 34D instead of 36B...crazy! i love the vibe of the store and will probably end up replacing my entire lingerie wardrobe with change lingerie...because they actually fit! finally, no more bra straps falling down!!

    Okay so I feel a little conflicted about CHANGE. If there was a rating between You Betcha and Fugheddaboutit, I would choose that one.

    Service was good for the most part, bras are well made really nice quality. Not enough variety in styles for me though. And I think some of styles look a little too... matronly? I had a real hard time finding a bra that I really, really liked. I think many of them were a little too lacy, red, excessive in the frills, etc. I saw many different styles of grandma-style laced panties as well.

    This is the part that bothered me the most:
    When I saw a bra that I liked, I asked the lady if they had it in my size. She said they they were all sold out on that one, and if I really liked it then I could just by the bra that had a smaller cup size and a larger band size. Doesn't that defeat the entire purpose of CHANGE's philosophy, finding a bra that fits you perfectly?! Little bit contradictory there!

    They don't get very many sizes either... so if you do find one you love, make sure that they have your size before you get too excited. The lady mentioned that sometimes they only get one bra in one particular style and size. Not exactly very convenient for the customer!

    Problem I have is that I think that women need to understand that these sizes are different because they are from Scandinavia. Your cup size will increase and your band size will decrease. Flattering, right? It's like "Omigosh! I lost weight AND my boobs got bigger!" Keep that in mind when you're shopping there, because I still don't think you should "throw away" your old bra size in your mind. This is just a specialty store, and to be honest... I think the "unique" sizing is part of the marketing.

    Sorry ladies, but I really had to be honest here.

    I went down town yesterday specifically to spend my shop crawl coupon at Change. I picked out my usual size in a few colours and tried them on. The friendly and helpful staff proved to me that I was in the wrong size! I couldn't believe it when I walked out of the store with a bra (and matching panties... very cute!) that was one and a half cups BIGGER and band one size SMALLER!!! Thats crazy! Does this mean I have a reason to go out and buy bras until my entire collection is replaced!?... :) hmmm... sounds good to me!!! :) Great store!

    I was pleasantly surprised by CHANGE. It's a bright, clean upscale lingerie shop right in the heart of Queen St. W. Merchandise is well-displayed and they is a variety to suit many tastes. I had no trouble finding sizes on the racks. The staff was professional, knowledgeable and most of all, friendly and service-oriented. A welcome CHANGE indeed!

    I shopped at CHANGE during the Shop Crawl (#2) for the first time. I was immediately impressed by the staff's product knowledge and expertise, and then there was the fabulous selection of lingerie and sleepwear that got my shoulder angels in a dither.

    "You could always just get both, you know... it's just money." "But you promised your husband you wouldn't go crazy!" "But you look so good, it's baaaaaad - wink wink!"

    I had to come back the next day to use my gift card because I just couldn't decide. Either way, the next time I'm in town, CHANGE will be the first stop on my trip of (well-deserved) self-indulgence! My final purchase was a perfectly fitting bra with matching knickers (I love the shop owner's accent!) in a truly unique pattern that sold me on first sight. Their merchandise ranges from practical to ultra-feminine with one-of-a-kinds thrown into the mix, and then there's of course the sales expertise that ensures you'll walk out of the store with something that fits properly and is an excellent quality! A tad pricier than I usually spend, but so worth it!

    Today I went on the 2nd Chickadvisor Shop Crawl and had the pleasure of spending some time in Change. I have to say that I was very impressed on the staff and their knowledge base with regards to bra sizing. I too have been wearing the wrong bra size for years! Once the lady fitted me, the bra that I tried on, was perfect in terms of comfort and support. I did not want to put my own bra back on! A friend of mine on the shop crawl with me actually bought her bra and wore it right out of the store! I would highly recommend this store, they have some very reasonable priced pieces and some more pricey pieces but if you get fitted by one of the staff you have the chance to walk out wearing a bra that will fit and support you! :o)

    The service was great, very nice, helpful staff. I have been wearing the wrong size bra for years. I didnt believe them at first, I really thought I was wearing the right size. But, now my bra doesnt ride up my back any more, it doesn't dig in, AND all my clothes look better on me. The prices were pretty reasonable too. I shopped in the Metrotown locaion, but I think they have a few locations around town.
