This place cannot last long. It’s true that most women buy the most expensive underwear they will ever own for their wedding day. But even Liz Taylor only married 8 times. I went in with a friend who is also a lingerie connoisseur, and when she learnt that neither of us were to be married, she said, «We really don’t serve that demographic.» One of us is married, the other is single, and we’re both affluent and in our late twenties. So they only serve the *betrothed* demographic? I hate to put it so bluntly to ladies who should know this already, but underwear meant to go under most wedding gowns is not sexy, it’s scaffolding.(Especially these days with so many women choosing strapless gowns.) And whatever slinky thing you put on for your wedding night is going to be ripped off in a fit of passion, and while it will definitely be good for the memories, it ain’t the point. For those of us who were looking for a place to find fun, sexy, surprise for the person who is hitting their first home run or distract the husband from the discussion about the tax billl, we’re sent out? You must be joking.

A great little shop with excellent product lines. I got a very thorough sizing during my first visit(amazing how going down a band size can make all the difference!), and was given an enormous pile of brassieres to try so that I could find the perfect one — and did! I would love it if they had a more extensive selection of styles to choose from, but you can’t have everything! I would have gone for four stars, but the sizing revelation they provided me with adds a star on its own! EDIT10⁄07: I wandered in to see if they had any new things in for fall, and discovered that the shop is switching over to a bridal-only format. My review has dropped from five to three stars because of this change, as they no longer fit my needs. However, if you are in the market for bridal lingerie, I’m confident that they’ll fit yours.

Love this little store! Chris, the owner, and her staff know everything there is to know about lingerie, and they have everything from super sexy to cotton comfy. Most bras are European, most PJ’s are American, and everything is high quality. They even special order odd sizes, like 30G or 46C. Definitely check them out, and ask questions! they’re an amazing resource to tap into!
