The Pencil Test, Renton

"I’ve been coming to The Pencil Test since 2018 thanks to their incredible options and service. Vanessa helped with my fitting today and gave me new insight to find the right bra(s) and how to break them in so they’re as comfortable for the long haul! Thank you!!!"

"Beautiful bras, sizing was correct, although selection can be tight dependin gon your size. Even though I had an hour long scheduled appointment, my fitter basically abandoned me after initially finding my size. My fitter was too busy laughing to her coworkers about how I put my bra on to help me, apparently. She spent a lot of time with her other clients, trying to find the right bras, but not me. I spent an hour and a half there, having to hunt through the store to find bras in my size and the right fit. Most of that was on my own. I'm not sure why I was the only one who wasn't getting helped. Considering their prices, you'd think they'd provide better service for scheduled clients; I spent nearly $400 on 4 bras."

"I went to a bra fitting appointment here. She took one look at me and nailed my size and style on her first guess. Being perfectly supported by a bra is an experience I'd recommend to the feminine of any size. As a trans person, it felt especially affirming to feel that there was not just one bra that felt like it was made perfectly for my chest, but a wide selection."

"I just bought a one piece I never thought I’d be able to find at this awesome shop in adorable downtown Renton. I just happened to be going to the coffee shop next-door (Boon Boona is awesome!) and saw the sign. I couldn’t believe the selection. They not only had a very wide range and array of lingerie and bras and panties, but the swimwear was better than I’ve seen at many other stores. Especially for winter. They were having a sale to bring in new swimsuits in January and I lucked out on a very high-quality and well-made swimsuit that fits my super hard to find size. The staff was so lovely and helpful and made the whole experience fun. Honestly I can’t wait to go back and do some more shopping!"

"I am so happy to see all the positive reviews because this place totally deserves it. After having a baby, my body was totally different. The thought of going into a major retailer again made me resigned to just wearing sports bras for the rest of my life. Luckily, I found this amazing place! Hailey was so incredibly warm, patient, knowledge, and helpful! I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to book an appointment, the fact that the fitting was free, and that I didn't feel pressured to buy anything. I was also really impressed by their generous return policy which made buying a few bras feel a lot less daunting because I know I can take them back if they don't work out. I absolutely loved this place and will definitely be back!"
