| Full Review |
In one of my previous reviews, I mentioned that I'm pretty cheap when it comes to clothing. I like good quality clothing, but I hate spending $25-30 bucks for a bra and $20 for panties. This online store satisfies both the cheap and the quality-conscious sides of me pretty well, thank you.
I have been shopping at the Leggs-Hanes-Bali Outlet Stores (the brick-and-mortar kind) for years. Although it was said in a previous review that these stores are only in North Carolina, that hasn't been the case for at least 10 years. I regularly shop at ones in Jeffersonville, Ohio, Dry Ridge, KY, and Georgetown, KY. I've also seen them in Dallas, Atlanta and Michigan. So, although it was stated in a previous epinion that instant tax was added online for those in N.Carolina, I think most people will find that is the case no matter where they live. These stores are pretty ubiquitous, at least in the eastern U.S.
The online site has a great selection of underwear, bras, hosiery, socks, sweats and sleepwear for women, as well as underwear, socks and sweats for men and kids. I buy all my everyday bras, underwear and hose from this outlet, and I've yet to find any visible defects or wear defects in anything I've purchased. Being a rather busty kind of woman, there is a large selection of bras to choose from, which is very refreshing compared to most department stores. I get tired of having to wade through all the racks of cute little A and B sizes until I find a few racks of my size hidden at the bottom. That's another thing that's nice about this site. Finding anything larger than a D-cup is next to impossible at a department store. There are quite a few choices of bras on the website that go well beyond that size. The only problem is that you can't try them on first. My suggestion is to find a Leggs-Hanes-Bali store near you if possible, or go to a department store, and try on enough bras to get a good idea of how a particular brand fits you. I've bought enough Bali bras to know exactly what size to order. They run true-to-size across the entire product line, so I never have a problem with fit.
The prices on most items are 20%-50% less than most department stores, and with sales that are run regularly you may be able to save even more. I just ordered two bras a couple of weeks ago on sale for $12 apiece that retailed in stores for about $24-$26 each. They were delivered by US mail promptly and both fit perfectly.
The same goes for underwear. I buy Bali panties for $7 to $12 online that normally sell for $15-$20 in department stores and have never had any problems with defects or fit. And if you do, refunds and exchanges are easy and quick. Shipping is reasonable as well. I've found it takes about a week to 10 days for most orders to arrive.
The website is pretty user-friendly and easy to navigate. Great sales are also offered on discontinued and over-stocked merchandise, usually hose and socks.
