Expert Bra Fitting Near Racine, WI
A More Personal Way to Shop for a Bra
If you’re in Racine and want more than a rack of bras and a fitting-room mirror, come see me.
I’m Althea, owner of Althea’s Fine Lingerie in downtown Milwaukee. Since 2014, I’ve helped women find bras that fit their bodies, their wardrobes and their lives.
Some women come in because they need an everyday bra that finally feels right.
Some are looking for a hard-to-find size.
Some need help with a strapless bra, a special dress, a sports bra or something beautiful.
And some simply want personal help from someone who knows bras.
You don’t need an appointment.
You don’t need to know your size.
You just need to come in.
Bra Fitting Is More Than a Measurement
I don’t use a measuring tape.
I fit by looking at what is actually happening when you put a bra on.
Does the band stay in place?
Do the cups fit smoothly?
Are the straps doing too much work?
Does the bra support you without digging, pinching or shifting?
That tells me much more than a number alone ever could.
I know how the bras in my store fit across different brands, sizes and styles, and I use that experience to narrow down what is most likely to work for you.
Sometimes we find the answer right away.
Sometimes we try a few things.
That’s normal.
The goal isn’t to put you into a particular size.
The goal is to find a bra that fits.
“She’s an absolute champ at fitting and finding you a bra that looks and feels great!”
The right fit comes from knowing how different bras behave on different bodies — and narrowing down what actually works.
Come for the Expertise. Stay for the Experience.
Althea’s is independently owned and owner-operated, which means when you come in, you work directly with me.
I know the inventory.
I know the brands.
I know how different bras fit different bodies.
And I’ll tell you what I think.
You won’t be handed a pile of bras and left on your own.
We figure it out together.

“Traveled from out of town to visit her shop and was extremely impressed. She took one look at me and knew my size.”
Your Bra Size Is a Starting Point, Not the Answer
A lot of women come in convinced they already know their size.
Others have no idea anymore.
Both are completely normal.
Bra sizing varies between brands and styles, and bodies change over time.
The size you wore several years ago may not be the size or shape that works best now.
And even two bras with the same size on the tag can fit very differently.
That’s why I focus on the fit in front of me.
Not the number you walked in with.
Shopping for a Particular Need?
If you’re coming from Racine because you need something specific, let me know.
Maybe you need:
- A strapless bra for a wedding or formal dress
- A bra for a difficult neckline
- A supportive everyday bra
- A sports bra
- A hard-to-find size
- Something for a special occasion
- Lingerie for a boudoir session
- Help adjusting to a change in your body or fit
Bring the garment with you if there is something specific you need to wear the bra under.
That way, we can see exactly how everything works together.
And if you’d rather check first, call me at 414-935-2800 before making the trip.
Comfort Is Part of the Fit
A bra can technically be your size and still not be the right bra for you.
Fit should also mean comfort, support and something you can actually wear without thinking about it all day.
The right bra should do more than technically fit. It should feel good, support you and give you confidence when you put it on.
That’s the goal.
Not just a bra that closes.
A bra that works.
“So many beautiful bras that fit me perfectly, one after another!”

Bra Fitting Near Racine: Frequently Asked Questions
Is Althea’s Fine Lingerie located in Racine?
No. Althea’s Fine Lingerie is located at 777 N. Jefferson Street in downtown Milwaukee. Customers visit from communities throughout southeastern Wisconsin and beyond for expert bra fitting, personal service and a carefully selected lingerie assortment.
Do I need an appointment for a bra fitting?
No. Bra fittings are walk-in during regular store hours.
What happens during a bra fitting?
I start by looking at how your current bra fits and asking what you like or dislike about it. From there, I bring you different sizes and styles and adjust based on how each one fits your body.
Do you use a measuring tape?
No. Bra fit varies too much by brand and style for a measurement alone to tell the whole story. I fit based on how the bra actually sits, supports and feels.
What if I don’t know my size?
That’s fine. You do not need to know your bra size before coming in.
Can you help with hard-to-find bra sizes?
Yes. I regularly work with women who have had difficulty finding a size or style that fits well. If you are looking for something very specific, call 414-935-2800 before making the trip.
Can I bring a dress with me?
Absolutely. If you need a bra for a particular dress, top or outfit, bring it with you so we can see how the bra works underneath it.
Can you help me find a strapless bra?
Yes. Strapless bras are one of those categories where fit matters especially much, so trying different styles and sizes can make a big difference.
