EG Lingerie Store’s New Owner is a Perfect Fit

Regular customers of A Fitting Experience on Post Road in East Greenwich might be surprised if they haven’t been to the lingerie store in some time.

The store has a new owner, East Greenwich’s own Gina Calderone, and the product line has been greatly expanded.

A lot has changed since Calderone took over this past winter. But one thing that hasn’t changed is how the store caters to women looking for mastectomy prosthetics and undergarments.

Calderone has a degree in fashion design and years of experience in design, accessory design and garment construction.

Owning her own shop has always been a dream and “when the opportunity arose, the timing was right.”

It has been a good fit for Calderone, who has expanded the store to offer products for women of all stripes. Her vision is to continue to serve women looking for the thoughtful help in fitting post-mastectomy garments while opening the door wide to women who want a perfectly fitting bra or something special for the right occasion.

“Eighty to eighty five percent of women are wearing the wrong size bra,” Calderon said. “If you go to a chain store, you have a sea of racks and you have no idea how one fits versus another.”

And Calderone said that many women find that the right look doesn’t end with the best dress. Others might need a little guidance, but would thrilled with the results.

“A lot of women buy a great dress and they forget about the undergarment to go with it,” Calderone said.

And that’s what A Fitting Experience is all about — personal service, personal attention. And now, great selection.

Along with lingerie, the store carries sports bras, sleepwear and there are plans to expand it even more, Calderone said.

The store celebrated a ribbon cutting recently to mark the next chapter for A Fitting Experience.

The store, located at 5600 Post Road, is open Tues-Fri from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sat. from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the summer and 4 p.m. otherwise.
