Life is too short to wear the wrong bra size. According to the experts, up to 90% of women are walking around in a bra that just doesn’t fit. Not only can this leave you with issues like overflow or gapping, but it can also lead to more severe issues, including back pain. If you are ready to dump your current bra and find something that will actually make your girls happy, I have you covered! As a Baltimore boudoir photographer, I spend a lot of my time working with women to help them celebrate their bodies. Here is why I love A La Mode Intimates!

A La Mode Intimates is a shop that is dedicated to providing every woman with high-quality lingerie and intimate wear. This award-winning store has a few locations across the state, including its flagship Annapolis spot. There are so many things to love about this store, from their selection to their ambiance. Here, it’s not just about finding a bra and checking out; it’s about curating an experience!
As you walk through the doors, you will be greeted by soft music and a light smell of vanilla. From there, a specialist will come and chat with you about what you are looking for. They’ll even offer you some refreshments! If you want to browse independently, you will be free to do so. They have curated their selection in a way that you will have tons of options, but you will never feel overwhelmed. As you sort through over 100 sizes, you are going to find a huge variety of styles and materials. The one thing they all share in common? Every last piece has been expertly crafted to ensure you have something that will last for the long haul! Trust me, there is a reason why this shop has been named the “Best of Intima” consistently since 2005

A La Modes Intimates offers pretty much every style of bra you could possibly imagine. You can choose from strapless bras, demi, wireless, bralettes, t-shirts, spacers, and…well, you get the point. They search for bras that are going to look amazing but remain comfortable all day long. Who says you have to suffer through tight straps and uncomfortable wires just to get the support you need? With this store, you can find your perfect option and ditch the pain. While I definitely recommend stopping by the store, they let you browse their selection online, where you can sort by colors, fits, and bands. They have a fantastic collection of designers like Anita, Curvy Kate, Elomi, and Freya.
Need some panties to match? Of course, they have you covered on this front, too! They offer cozy yet stylish panties of all colors and materials, giving you classic fits like briefs, thongs, hipsters, bikinis, and boyshorts. Whether you want something soft and breathable for bedtime or prefer the kind that leaves very little to the imagination, this store is going to make sure you have just the thing.

As a boudoir photographer, I need to talk about the lingerie selection because it is absolutely unmatched! A La Mode Intimates regularly works with people to plan boudoir sessions that leave them feeling positively stunning. You are going to be able to select between bodysuits, bustiers, chemises, baby dolls, and lingerie sets. They also have something for every taste, offering everything from delicate lace to harnesses. Need to accessorize? Then you can shop for things like garter belts, stockings, and suspender belts. They have something for all body types and will ensure you have something that makes you look and feel incredible!
In addition to all of this, the store sells specialized pieces that are going to get you through pretty much every stage of life. If you are preparing for your journey into motherhood, they have maternity wear as well as nursing bras. You can find shapewear to smooth out your outfits, loungewear for working from home, and swimwear for your next vacation.

If you do need some help finding your ideal size, you can head on over to their website, where you can book a bra fitting. This is going to be a stress-free appointment where you will work with an expert to find out your band and cup size. These visits are free at the flagship Annapolis store for new customers.
Once you have completed your fitting, the A La Mode Intimates team moves on to styling. During this time, you will be able to search for things like bras, lingerie, and accessories while having your own private room with plenty of space to move around. While you will need an appointment ahead of time, it’s pretty easy to score a same-day visit so you can get in whenever you need. They also offer fittings at the Fell’s Point location, but you will need to pay a small fee ahead of time. Then, as you are checking out, they will apply your payment to your purchases.
This store is constantly looking for ways to help people all across the state have their perfect fit! One of the many great things they do is host their Dead Bras event twice a year. During this promotion, you can bring in any old bras and receive credit toward a new one. From there, the store will take your bra, and if there’s still life in it, they will donate it to the proper organization. If they do determine that it’s no longer usable, they can handle the recycling, so your piece can go on and make something both beautiful and sustainable.

If you have been looking for a store that will help you find your ideal undergarments, A La Mode Intimates is your place! This beloved boutique is passionate about giving every person their new favorite piece!
