Blum's vs. Mary's

Can I get some opinions on Blum's and Mary's Corsetieres? I have to get a long line bra for my wedding and both places were recommended to me. Blum's is a lot closer to where I live, but would appreciate input on either.

Also, can anyone give me an approximate idea of the cost of a long-line bra? I've never bought one before and have no idea. Something else I need to factor into my already overstretched budget.

Thanks!

My mom bought me beautiful stuff from Blums that she gave to me at my shower. She said the store was awesome.

I got my long line bra at Mary's and they were also awesome. They make sure it really fits you right. I had no problems on my wedding day. I believe I paid close to $55.00 for mine.

How do things work there? I plan on going there too and I've heard if you go on a Sat. you should get there early...then you put your name on a list...? How long does it take and what info should I bring?
Any help would be completely appreciated!!!

I used Mary's, and my Mom has used them a few times...I highly recommend them. If you're going on a Sat., you need to get there at least 1/2 hour before they open and wait outside the door, to make sure you're the first or second to write you name on the list. Otherwise, you'll be waiting a very long time. I'd suggest going during the week if you're at all able.
