Macy's is closing 30 stores, per LBN headline. Online shopping can't do everything, though.

I immediately checked the article to see if my store was included in the closures.
To my relief, it isn't.

I'll be honest, I don't go there a lot, but there is one critical service they provide: bra-fitting.

I'm a hard-to-fit woman, and my body has changed fairly significantly over the years.

Every year or so I need to get re-fitted.

And, some brands work for me and some don't, even in the same size.

Only professional fittings keep me comfortable and non-lumpy looking.

If that service went away, I would really miss it.

1. This ex

Playtex fitter can tell you you need a perfect fit. Been a long time but I still swear by the same bra!

I just recieved 2 packages from online Macy’s yesterday.

5. Playtex usually works pretty well for me, depending on the model number.

I have several in my current collection.

This difficult to fit gal thanks you for your service!!

6. I have one style, no other.:)

When it first came out 30 years ago. I can still get at Penneys online.

7. Wow! Your girls are way more stable than mine, then!

I have to change every couple of years at least.

Every tiny weight change in my body is reflected in my breasts, I've even changed cup sizes a number of times. Recently, I went down a cup size for no apparent reason. (No significant weight loss overall).

I guess I'm just weird.

10. No, you are normal.:)

2. Have you seen this?

I started doing it at home about 10 years ago and it made things so much better. I've never had experience with someone at a store who could compare (the measurements are so much more comprehensive).

3. I had no idea such a thing existed.

And you're perfectly correct. That service could not be provided online.

4. I don't like online shopping unless I really have no choice otherwise.

As in what I want can't be bought at a physical store location.

I would never trust online shopping for clothing or food. Those are things I like to physically inspect before buying.

Too many screw-ups and returning is a hassle.

8. Only the brands I know fit.

It is impossible to fit a bra without trying on. Too many variables and styles.

Full bust, medium, all styles are different.

9. I just take back to store,easy.

With Amazon you take to UPS, they package it for you. Kohl’s also taking back Amazon.

I do prefer local stores as you get the same sales,rewards you do in the store.

I love it.
