Ladies: Busted! wants to hook you up.
Located in the Park Shelton building on Woodward and Kirby, the new bra boutique opened Friday, making it the only dedicated shop in Midtown for under things of all kinds.
Owner Lee Padgett got the shop up and running after participating in 2013's Hatch Detroit contest. They made it to the semi-finals, but didn't win the grant money. They did, however, receive a call from investors willing to match whatever funds she was able to contribute.
Pieced together from her small budget, donated furniture and help from friends and neighbors, Busted! carries everything from "a hot pink maternity number to custom-made corsets," according to Crain's.
Customers already seem to like it -- Padgett says she sold a quarter of her inventory before even opening, just by letting passersby and knockers in to wander around.
The bra inventory ranges from $30 to $80 and from an A to an N cup. (Don't worry if you're not sure what size you wear; Padgett offers free fittings.) Her lines of panties are from $5 to $42 and she can fit up to a size 3X.
If Busted! has you titilated, check out the shop Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM.
