I have been coming to Mary's for years. There is nothing like Mary's in Florida. Once I've purchased airfare, I make sure to get an appointment every time I'm in New York. I usually make an appointment and come during the summer. Mary's is full of beautiful swimsuits that she adjusts to fit my body perfectly. There is a room of seamstresses in the back that takes in the straps, makes the suit shorter and even adds underwires for support. 20 minutes later, I left with three beautiful swimsuits that have been altered to fit me perfectly. The personalized service, the adjustments to the suit and knowledgeable staff make trying on and purchasing swimsuits and absolute breeze. My only negative is I wish they were in Florida. read more

Service I received. The knowledge of the people there.The product I purchased. The seamstress who fixed my purchase. I have been buying there for years. I value their opinion read more

I have been an extremely satisfied customer for over 40 years. All of the fitters are knowledgeable and assist in purchasing the right bra...which includes alterations on the spot. They are caring and understand the female "psyche"- sometimes with a bit of brusque humor. I have known them well for so many years- I enjoy a bit of humor... they understand personalities and how to best serve them! I have known the "sign in sheets" of the past, with a very long wait, to the present need for appts. because sometimes the right fit takes time & patience. I have sent my granddaughter for bras which finally fit her properly - her past choices included Victoria's Secret. It is a most difficult job- I would want a full month vacation off, too! read more

Fabulous service and selection of undergarments bathing suits cover ups alterations.. Make appointment by calling the store . Then receive one on one fabulous caring service! I have shopped here for years ... No other place like it ! Love read more

I had a good experience when purchasing the bras but a bad one when something happened to one of them. My husband did me a favor went in the store today to show them that one of my bras had ripped. These were brand new bras bought right before everyone went on vacation from the store for about a month (so probably end of July/beginning of August). My husband said that the lady was very rude in the store and said it was an old bra and could not be fixed. The first time I bought from this store was that time and it will certainly be the last time I ever buy from this store again. read more

Ladies, if you are feeling fragile after breast surgery or have body issues PLEASE DO NOT ENTER THIS STORE!!! I stopped in to look for a bathing suit and was BELLIGERENTLY told that if I didn't have an appointment today I was not welcome!!! In all fairness I did not see a sign that said APPOINTMENTS ONLY on the door. I shop in small businesses to support communities! Maybe it's time for this one to close their doors. I am 72 and would never expect / allow someone to speak or act like this to me!! read more

My experience this time, and much needed, was, nurturing people and a person who knew so much about bras, swimsuits and the like. Got a wealth of knowledge from some of my previous misnomers of how to fit and wash bras properly. So, the good news is that I got one bra a perfect fit. The bad. Dang!! Only one, as they do not make this particular one anymore. While they have others that need adjustments the second one does not fit so well and I will be going back to get a few adjustments made. Though I really needed to get proper ones as much as I like online companies, what I have, just did not fit correctly. The bathing suit much the same experience as she found one that I feel is so pretty and definitely fits better than the ones I have. They say next month they shall be getting a Lot of more to choose from. The cost are high and I had not even asked what the layout was first, but with things like this and being a hard fit, I need to lay it out and I used a credit card to pay. Also when Georgettes closed in her passing (a fine lady may she r.i.p.) there are not other local places to go. I noted other reviews. Don't know who was rude and that should never happen as it is a business supposing professional if nothing else. However I had a good experience and felt these two particular ladies were kind and helpful. Sigh! read more

They always know and have exactly what I need and sizing is perfect! so very courteous and accommodating. read more

I had an easy and successful shopping experience. I needed a bra and undergarments for my son's Bar Mitzvah. I was trying to find what i i needed on my own and spent hours with no luck. I walked in and out of the store within 25 minutes with everything I needed customized to my body! Never again will I try anywhere else. Not only were they able to find what I needed but guide me on the best type of garments for the dress. The service was Warm and friendly. When shopping for items that can make one feel self conscious the positive atmosphere makes a difference. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn they had more than bras... impressive bath suit and cover up selection as well. Thank you!!!!! read more

I recently had to visit this speciality shop to be fitted for a bra after a bi lateral mastectomy: I was greatly disappointed and disturbed by the information and the subsequent bras that were sold to me after being altered. Chris the owner told me that although they were obviously not a fit, that I could use warm water on them and they'd shrink to shape. My fault for believing this nonsense, but the effort emotionally and physically for me to accomplish this needed task was overwhelming and incredibly insensitive on her part. These bras are not inexpensive and I was told when I questioned if there wasn't other bras that would work, that this was her only choice: I would warn others going through this tender time to steer clear of this establishment read more

The ladies at Mary's are awesome, especially Rae! I love the way my bras fit. I have been wearing the wrong size for years. read more

I would now recommend going to Blums in Patchogue. Thats what I do. The place is humongous. So many sale people, No appointments necessary . No lies, no rude staff and they can custom order large bra sizes. First come, First serve. read more

Terrible customer service on the phone. I've shopped here before and felt a little rushed. But making an appointment is difficult and the rudeness on the phone makes it difficult to want to spend money at a store that speaks to potential clients in that manner. read more

I am truly impressed with the level of customer service I received while shopping for my Wedding undergarments. The place has a wide selection of items so you will need some time to shop. If they don't have what you are looking for they can order it. Unfortunately the corset I ended up buying was not good enough for me. I don't blame the store for that. It just ended up cutting into my side and did not support my upper body. I did not have time to fully shop so I just hastily grabbed whatever fit me. This is why I recommend taking your time and making sure what you order is the right fit. read more

The best place to buy a bra. The staff is so professional ! I used to go there all the time to buy bras and bathing suits and other things. I love Chris. I love them all ! We could use a store like that in Port Saint Lucie, Florida read more

Mary's has recently moved from it's original location but don't worry, they haven't changed! Same knowledgeable respectful staff, overwhelming selection of not only bras, sport bras, and swimwear and they customize it all! My personal wish is that they extend one nights hours. That perfect dress that needs a "special " bra, or for your personal special needs this is the place to go. I highly recommend this place read more

Although the ladies spent a lot of time with me for a mastectomy fitting, there were two red flags. Beware, although they do the mastectomy fitting, and they complete insurance paperwork, they did not warm me before hand that I had to lay out over $700.00 for a prostheses, insert and a filler and a bra. I did not know this until I went up to the register. Not everyone has this type of money floating around. I know I will get reimbursement but I learned an unfortunate lesson. They should have forewarned me about their policy. The second red flag is that they only had one bra in my size that they recommended and had to order the others. They said they had other bras but refused to show them to me. Maybe I took too much of their time up. Minus two stars for the 2 issues. read more

I went to get a mastectomy's bra at this store near me. They only showed me one bra and the woman said we can cut the pad so it doesn't go over the top of the bra. With that she takes it to the seamstress which I thought she was going to ask if it could be done, comes back in 2 minutes and it was cut on both padded cups and then got stuck paying $67 for a bra I could have bought at Marshalls for less then $20. I wouldn't even give this store a 1 star it is downright deplorable how I was treated. Less then 20 minutes and I got charged this amount without telling me she was doing this. Find another store this was a worse experience then having the surgery and I haven't even wore it at all. I told her to put it on my Medicare which they pay and she said only 1 bra it's a lot of work to do this. I said yes I wanted my money back from even Medicare. What a complete uncaring place and ripoff. read more

My daughter stopped by there for new bras and they looked down on her telling her she needs an appointment. She felt like dirt. Be tactful. Be kind. People have feelings. read more

It had been awhile since I had gotten fitted correctly for a bra and I came up with this store. I was so happy that I was going to get fitted properly. The woman helping me was so nice. But the first bra I tried on she said fit perfectly. I thought so too until I went home to wear it. It did not fit well. If I bent just a little the front of my bra, my ta tas were jumping overboard. They did not feel supported well and I am very disappointed that I had to waste money on yet another badly fit bra. They also tell you they need to alter the bras so you can't return them. read more

My husband and I own a business and the one thing we learned is the customer is always right. I showed up for my appt on time and the one nasty saleswoman looks in the book and says you don't have an appointment today and the other woman who made the appointment the day before in person, said in the nastiest tone WHY ARE YOU HERE? My response..this is when you told me to come. She took no accountability for writing the appt on the wrong day and there was no apology, just pure rudeness and walked away from me. It's time to retire when you let a paying customer walk out of your store. One star is too many. Zero stars, thumbs down and shouting from the rooftops, do not shop here! read more

A zero is my rating for this business. After making over $600 worth of purchases, I went to pick up items I ordered and had to beg for permission to try on. I had an appointment too!! Getting permission from the owner was granted and then I was screamed at for going into the WRONG unoccupied dressing room. The owner should have stepped in to stop this rude, nasty, and UNPROFESSIONAL sales person. What ever happened to customer service?? read more

Went to Mary's for a special corset for a wedding! They sure know there business. This type of business is hard to find now a days. You do not get this type of service from a department store or a lingerie store I the mall. So worth a visit to have a properly fit undergarment! read more

I am usually not one to bash businesses but I am so upset how my mother was treated during her appointment here today. She had a 12:30 pm appointment and arrived 5 mins early at 12:25. The woman was rude and commented on her being too early and told her rudely "just go in the middle dressing room". She continued to speak rudely to my mother and talk to her like she was a child. My mom said she just wanted to burst into tears but kept her composure as she needed to just order the bra for my brothers upcoming wedding. I asked for the name of the representative who assisted her and she didn't know the name as she was too upset and just wanted to get it over with. She ordered what she needed and left only to sit and cry in the car because of her awful experience. I am furious she even gave them her business. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!!!! read more

I feel I was fitted incorrectly. She sized me for a 32 when I never wore a size 32 in my life which I told her . I had a feeling I bought five bras and went home. Tried them on again. Way too small. They had my money now, so I went back to ask for a size 34. They said they had a special order it which is just why I figured I was given a 32. I also asked if it was going to be a long time till they receive that special order and they said NO it won't be long. Well, it has been three weeks and I have not received a call. I called and asked the status and they said they can't give it to me. You'll know when we call you. I proceeded to let them know I will be traveling for the next two months and if they don't have it by Friday in two days, I need a refund. I was told they will not give me a refund we don't do that and the lady that I spoke to on the phone was rude, so rude and nasty that I said goodbye and hung up. She actually called me back just to hang up on me. No class, no polish, poor business. I will never do business there again and I live in the neighborhood. read more

Caring staff ensure you get the right fit for your girls. Ray was wonderful and patient, spending as much time as you need. Sometimes that means a wait to be seen by a fitter, but it's worth it. To the person who thought it odd about the inquiry about customers owning cats ... one of the fitters is deathly allergic - so if a customer has cat hair / dander she cannot assist you and will get a different fitter for you. Not a terrible inconvenience to help out. read more

I don't understand all the hype. I feel the ladies are condescending and don't really listen to your needs since they are the experts and know it all. Got a bra, fits ok, and undergarment, not ok and ordered a strapless bra that was not altered properly after two attempts and is now better off in the pail then my making another trip to wait at the store. Just don't understand why people rave about this place. read more

My first time shopping in Mary's was this summer. I needed a bra for my son's wedding and, notwithstanding their rudeness and arrogance (of which I had been forewarned), I ended up buying two tee shirt bras in addition to a strapless one for the gown. The only reason this establishment gets one star is because the woman who did the fitting at the time was very warm and helpful. It goes down from there. They were just so rude. After a few months, the hook on one of the t-shirt bras started to twist and pull away. This was a $55 bra that was barely worn, still looked new, and was in great shape except for the damaged hook. I called the store, knowing they frown upon walk-ins, and told them the problem. The clerk matter-of-factly told me to bring the bra in with the receipt. Luckily, I had kept the receipt. I went there this afternoon and before the door even closed behind me I was met with an abrupt, "Do you have an appointment?" No "hello." No "May I help you?" So rude. I reminded her that we had just spoken, and she said, "Oh yeah, let me see it." I handed her the bra and receipt and she couldn't help but point out that the order was placed in July. She brought the bra to the back of the store to the seamstress. When she came out, she said I could wait, or leave and come back, and it will be $3.00! Under the circumstances and already annoyed at my treatment, I expressed shock that they would charge anything to repair something that was only a few months old. When I objected on principle, she went back and said, "She doesn't want to pay the $3.00 to fix it!" It was so rude and insulting. Who do they think they are?? When she came back out, she snidely asked me how I washed the bra, insinuating that I had caused the damage. I was only sitting for two or three minutes when the seamstress brought the bra out with a resting bitch face. She walked right over to me, tossed the bra at me, and said, "Merry Christmas" dismissively. I was speechless. I was there for less than ten minutes. I have never been treated so poorly by a business. They act like they are doing you a big favor. I will shop in Soma from now on. Never again. read more

The ladies that work at Mary's are lifesavers! They came to my rescue a day before my daughter's wedding-- when the shop was closed! Their caring and kindness was so appreciated! My dress looked lovely thanks to their amazing dedication to their customers! read more

I absolutely never write reviews even when I have had a poor experience because I don't believe in business bashing. However, I was so negatively effected by my experience on Friday I felt other women should know. I will say the cashier at the front is one of the most lovely people ever. She made sure I actually had the correct items leaving the store because the bras were thrown up front and she was so confused as well. The woman next to me also didn't know and almost went home with mine and I with hers. I say this because you DO NOT KNOW what you get, your size, or really wHat alterations are being done. I wasn't asked what color I'd like or style or ANYTHINg. The owner slapped a bra on me declared it fit perfect and that was that. When I asked for a black bra too she was bothered end told me I don't have that in your size. You don't have ANY black bra for me? LOL same goes for the strapless. I was really taken aback by the lack of patience, compassion, and general people skills. I bought all three because they were altered without giving me an opportunity to see anything else. When I got home I was really disappointed in how the cups gape at the top. I will say I really trusted her expertise which is why I went ahead and purchased them despite being horrified by her behavior. This goes to show, if she took the time so I could move around, try out the bra- I could have gotten something I could actually wear. I just finished breastfeeding and was really looking forward to having a great new bra as a treat. I left defeated, upset, and 200 dollars poorer. Proceed with caution.. read more

This review is one star too many! The fact that so many people have written about the rudeness of the staff of Mary Corsetieres over several years is no small coincidence. After spending over $240.00 on bras (and brought a friend who spent $150.00), I found that it needed an adjustment. I went back to the store on an appointment. The woman (one of the owners, no less) was screaming at me in front of other people in the store, that their store didn't sell the bra I brought in, when in fact it did,since I bought it there previously, and not at other shops. Then the woman said out loud ," I have to show this one how to wear a bra". again, loudly in front of the staff and other customers. Both owners were there, and no one corrected her for her rudeness? And to a customer who has shopped there over 28 years! I drove 45 minutes to this store to support a local business, and this was the treatment that I got. Although , unfortunately, my friend has to go back to pick up an item, sad to say, I will not be doing business with them again. My advice would be to stay away, and give your business to stores run by professionals. read more

I bought a strapless long line bra at Mary's for my daughter's wedding in August. I came early and was second or third online. I did have to wait, but it was the old store in Woodbury and there were chairs there. I waited around 20 minutes. A fitter measured me, found a bra and it was altered slightly while I waited. I did have to come back after my first dress fitting because the seamstress who altered my dress told me that there was a bump in the bra where it was altered. When I went back, they kept the bra to alter it and charged me for the second alteration. Each time I went I got there at opening and didn't have to wait more than 20 minutes. Recently, I recommended Mary's to my friend whose daughter is getting married. We went to the old location and saw they moved. When we arrived at the new store, we were 4th online. There was one person fitting one sewing and one at the front register. There were no chairs to sit on, so we had to stand. We stood there almost an hour. No one said anything to us about how long it would be or asked what we were looking for. After an hour of standing we noticed they were only helping the third person on line so we walked out. It's a small store and no one said anything to us as we left. I was so disappointed that I recommended Mary's to my friend. She will be going elsewhere for her bra. I also won't be going back again. read more

I wished I had read the reviews before I went there. I was very disappointed. I was given a long line bra strapless and then they put straps on. Changed place of tabs which broke first time I tried it on. put darts on sides which my breasts were popping out of. Sales person was the rudest person I ever met in my life. I hated the bra and she bullied me into it also. And since I was waiting so long like 2 hours I took it. I went back to get my $70 back and of course they would not give it to me. Saw same rude sales person. Hate HER !! another person helped me but they gave me credit for a new bra which has to be ordered. Hope I ever get the new bra. I will never go back there again. read more

I just went to this store and the owner was such a sweet and helpful lady. Wow !!! My wedding is on October and I went to get my under the dress essentials and as soon as Mary saw me she was very honest and said I didn't need to buy one, I insisted I did but after she explained why I didn't need one, I smiled and simply agreed. I was also with my mom and she knew exactly what to get her, it fit perfect. She made me and my mom feel so comfortable !!!! Thank you so much Mary and I will be coming back even if I live an hour and a half away !!!!!!! :) read more

Shopped in their new location on Manetto Hill Rd for my mother of the groom dress - bra  The women in the shop could not have been more helpful. I finally was fitted for a bra that fits perfect! . .

Mary Corsetieres was a great disappointment. For years, I had passed the shop on Woodbury Road, always hoping to be able to shop there. When I needed undergarments for a wedding, I first thought of Mary Corsetieres which was also recommended by Queen of Hearts owner, Julie. As I had a doctor's appointment on Manetto Hill Road, I went to Mary Corsetieres, but could not get in, due to appointments only during Covid. I called, hoping I could get a soon appointment, as the day and time I was there was one listed for their being open. I did not get a call back for days. Set up an appointment, but unfortunately I had to cancel it, because of a death in the family. When I left the message to cancel, I also asked for a new appointment. No one called me back to say they got the cancelation, so I called again and was able to speak with a human who said that she'd pass on the message. It is a week or so later and I still have not gotten a call back to make a new appointment, but no worries - I was able to get a same day appointment last Thursday at The Fitting Curve, and they treated me marvelously. They now have a new customer. I may never go back to Mary Corsetieres. read more

I went in there earlier today and was sent to a dressing room. I walked in and saw a few women sitting with a few sewing machines talking together. I was greeted eventually by a woman who measured me and went to get a corset for my wedding. That's when my experience at this business went wrong. I started to watch her and she started to talk to her friends about the Super Bowl and it took her a lot longer to get what I needed. I then informed her when she came back that I was in a rush and we tried on the first corset (I had about 30 minutes to get a corset and pay to get out on time, but at this point I was in the store for almost 15 minutes) . I felt like the corset was a little dated and not going to work with my dress and my body and she started to argue with me. The cups did nothing for my breasts and I felt like I was not getting supported the way it should have been. The cups went way too high since my dress is low cut on me I knew it wasn't going to work. I asked her if I could try on another one and I could hear her talk about the Super Bowl again. She brings back another corset and she is insistent that it works with my dress (which she has never seen before), tells me that I have "too much back fat" (thanks for that lady). I feel like this one is loose in my cup area and I go to pull it up and she is insisting that I leave it alone. I ask her how much it was and she tells me $70 and then says $74 because the prices went up January 1st and that I would only receive store credit if I needed to exchange it. I tell her I was in a rush and that I would really need to come back when I had more time (clearly) and she definitely was talking about me as I was getting dressed. When I got out of the dressing room no one said anything to me, they were suddenly quiet. I walked out of the store and was not even given a "Have a good day" by anyone. While I understand that going anywhere with a limited time put a stress on things, I feel that the customer service was terrible and the corset collection was clearly limited. read more

First let me state that I have never written a bad review for anyone or any place ever but I feel compelled to speak of my experience at Mary's. I went to Mary's in search of a strapless bra for an off the shoulder dress and also to be fitted for an every day bra. After putting my name on a list and waiting almost an hour I was finally called and told to go to dressing room 2. I went in and waited another 10 minutes for Chris to enter. She told me to take off my top and bra and then asked me when I had my surgery. I told her I've never had breast surgery of any kind and she actually argued with me saying that she's been in this business 35 years and knows surgically altered breasts when she see them. I wasn't sure if it was a compliment or insult. She told me I was way off of my size and she insisted a needed a much larger size but would alter it to fit properly. Being she's the expert I agreed and walked out with a strapless and an everyday bra and even ordered another one. When I got home I tried on my new purchase and was so unhappy with it. The stitching was so irritating, and the entire bra just didn't fit. I called them and the woman on the phone told me to come in and try to adjust it or I can pick out another. I went back and again went through the process of putting my name on the list and waiting. I finally get called and told to go to dressing room 1. Again, after 10 minutes, Chris comes back in and I tell her what I don't like about the bra. She has me try it on and when I start pointing out why I don't like it she literally rips it off me and yells and me " you'll just never be happy". I was so taken aback by her attitude but I wanted to get another bra being that they don't refund. I reluctantly tried on 2 more and they didn't fit. It was then that this ever charming woman Chris yelled at me "you just like your tits out". I said excuse me, surely I heard her wrong, and then she looked at me close to my face and repeated herself. I WAS STUNNED! I took a bra I had tried on got a $17 credit that I'll never use because I'll NEVER set a foot back in that store. read more
