Madalynne Intimates

Madalynne Intimates on West Glenwood Avenue in North Philadelphia is a by-appointment custom-lingerie studio, and its perfect rating is anchored by the owner, credited as an expert, patient teacher and maker. The studio offers custom bras and lingerie, ready-to-wear pieces, DIY kits, and popular bra-making workshops and open-sew sessions that reviewers travel to attend, in one case flying in from Texas. Customers with harder-to-fit, larger-busted shapes single it out for pieces that actually fit and look good, and when one buyer had a durability issue it was resolved quickly and responsively. Essentially no negatives surface, though it is worth knowing the studio runs by appointment and skews custom and high-touch rather than walk-in retail. A fit for shoppers wanting custom-fit lingerie or to learn bra-making from an expert.
