Harp's Lingerie

Harp’s Lingerie has been in business since 1947 and is located in the heart of downtown Birmingham. As an “old-fashioned corset shop,” they take great pride in their expert fittings and one-on-one personal service. Their expertly trained staff have more than 100 years of combined experience in helping customers find the perfect items for everyday wear, bridal, formal events, and sleepwear. They also carry specialty pieces and just about anything women may need underneath to make them look and feel their best.

For over 75 years, Harp’s Lingerie has specialized in helping women look and feel their best from the inside out. Through decades of dedication, they’ve earned the loyalty of generations of customers who travel from near and far for their trusted expertise and personalized service.

Keeping this proud tradition alive, the legacy of founder Betty Harp continues through daughter-in-law Patricia Hardy and great-granddaughter Jacqueline Hamill. Together, they uphold Betty’s belief that what you wear underneath is just as important as the clothes themselves, ensuring every customer leaves feeling beautiful, confident, and truly special.

Equally central to Harp’s success are the expert fitters. Many of whom worked alongside Betty Harp herself, whose knowledge and care helped build the store’s reputation. Their knowledge and personalized approach remain a cornerstone of the business today, providing each customer with a level of service that is both rare and deeply valued.

Still family-owned and proudly female-led, Harp’s Lingerie stands as a testament to timeless service, trusted craftsmanship, and a legacy that continues to flourish across generations.

“We can disguise problem areas and literally change your shape with the right undergarments,” Hamill says. “This is why we’re consistently nominated as Hour Detroit’s Best Lingerie Store.”

Since as many as nine out of ten women wear incorrectly fitted bras, the difference a professional bra-fitting makes can be absolutely uplifting in both appearance and mood! Hard-to-fit sizes are Harp’s specialty. They stock the largest selection of styles and types of bras in Michigan, including band sizes from 30 to 54 and cup sizes from AA to N. Customers receive a personal consultation and unsurpassed service.
