Let me start off by saying I am a 22 year old with very high standards for my bras. I have a difficult cup size, and lately Ive been having back problems for wearing the incorrect size (32DD). Rachel had me show her my current bra, told me exactly what was wrong with it, and brought me 20+ bras until I found the perfect fit. She was in no way pushy, she even brought me bras that were 50% off on clearance. Although my friend suggested this place and said it was great, I didnt expect much. I was pleasantly surprised. This boutique also offers custom orders and alterations. However, they had my very difficult size in stock, which ended up being a 28H. I didnt even know that size existed, and they had it in stock. I would not have expected anyone to carry such an odd size. This is the first time in my life I have a 100% supportive bra, and the best part is these bras are actually adorable, flattering, and feminine, yet fit for every day wear. Most bras are from $60-$100 full price, which is what I expected. I ended up getting two bras for $90 and signed up on their client list so they will call me when something new comes in my odd size. As long as I live in Boston, I will not be shopping anywhere else for bras again!! Thank you!!

Lovely little shop close to Harvard T station. They had a wide selection in my sizes - at least 7 different bras in my small band/large cup size that is outside of the Victorias Secret size range. It was incredible to be able to try them on and get a different size right there rather than waiting and guessing for mail-orders. SO worth the trip, and sold at retail. I am very happy with my purchase. The service was pleasant; Rachel (?I think) was helpful, not at all pushy, and available when needed. She was knowledgeable about bra terminology and brands. They also had a variety of swimwear, lounge bras, sleepwear, and nursing bras. I will definitely go again next time Im in town.

This place is great. I dont usually shop at womens lingerie boutiques but I was looking for something for my wife. I didnt have a clear idea of what I wanted. I did know what I didnt want or what there was no way I could bring home and present to her. The staff did a great job walking me through their selection. They asked me all kinds of questions including her skin tone to help with color selection. I really appreciated how comfortable the made me feel and how easy the made the shopping experience. They even jotted down some notes for me about what I was purchasing. Awesome!

Such helpful staff and a pleasant space to browse & try on high quality items. Especially recommend if you want something for a special occasion or need something that will work with a particular item of clothing. Their inventory can be a little limited so you might call ahead about what they have in your size if it is unusual.

Rachel and Meredith went above and beyond. I used their online store to buy gift for my wife, who was in Boston for a few days. To make sure that she got it in time, one of their colleagues walked through the city streets, in the freezing cold, to deliver it to where my wife was. Now thats service!

Service was great and very personal, especially for such a hard thing to shop for. Yes, prices are high, but for people who have out of the ordinary sizes, sometimes thats just what you have to pay. Its worth it for the quality and the fit.

This place definitely filled a missing gap in Cambridge shopping. The selection is great, the store is cute, and they have hard to find sizes. Plus great events with free cocktails and shopping promos!

I am ain my 60s and larger than I should be yet I found the most beautiful & feminine selection of lingerie for me. I was very impressed with the know and help I received.It was fun and successful!

Beautiful undies and a really helpful staff. They have a great variety with a lot of the uncommon sizes (30G anybody?) and they can get you a great fitting if youre not sure what your size is.

This is the ultimate lingerie store: beautiful things...helpful sales people...cozy store. I bought a couple of things but Im already thinking about how to go back and pick out some more!

They are amazing although for some reason when I try to contact them on the phone they always hang up. To me that is disrespectful.
