Bra shopping in Berlin?
I'm going to Berlin, and I'm wondering if there're any lingeri stores worth checking out..? I'm not really expecting there to be, but what if there is! There really aren't any good ones where I live (Copenhagen), and though I order bras online, it would be nice to try some on at a store. Maybe someone knows of a store in Berlin!
The absolute best bra fitting store in Berlin is DoppelD, http://www.doppel-d.eu/
A friend of mine works there on Mondays, she wears a 32J herself and really knows her way around big breasts. She is also fluent in English.
Other good stores are:
Korsett Engelke - very traditional, a bit old fashioned, a small shop stuffed to roof and bursting with all kinds of lingere. No website, Adress Kantstr. 109. Watch this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ndVVyZt3N0 from about 0:30 to 2:00 to get an idea of the interiour of the store and see the owner, she is Berlins most senior brafitter. At 6:15 to 7:00 you can see the outside of the shop and her daughter, who also works at the shop.
BH-Total, http://www.bh-total.de/
Fittings on appointments only, call ahead to reserve a fitting, try to get somebody who speaks decent English. They have Freya/Fantasie only, no Panache.
The stores of the lingerie chains Change and Hunkemöller would also be worth a try, they are in the Alexa shopping mall near Alexanderplatz.
And if you are interested in a corset instead of a bra, check out Tomto (tomto.de) at Torstrasse 22. Tomto corsets are pricey, but they are some of the best in Europe.
