1. Busted Bra Shop (former Bras Galore)
https://bustedbrashop.com/ This is my absolutely favorite one! They have a huge selection of very comfortable bras with bands from 28 to 56 and cup sizes from XXS to 10XL. And their stuff is so helpful! You can make an appointment for a free fitting (no obligation to buy anything either) or you can just walk in, and they will help you. This is definitely one of the best lingerie stores in Chicago! Two Chicago locations:
3148 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60657
1013 1/2 E 53rd in Hyde Park, Chicago

More of a collection of fun playtime/photo shoot pieces than what you would wear every day, but if that’s what you are looking for and want to see it before you buy then that’s the place.
