The ONLY place to buy lingerie... 9/15/2010

This place is simply the best. Highest quality, best service, wonderful environment. Rebecca herself helped me and I left the store feeling like a whole new woman. Seriously, if you want quality over quantity, this is the place to shop! more

Get a Bra that actually fits! 8/24/2010

My wife and I stumbled upon La Petite Coquette and she asked for some help with bra sizing. The assistant instantly assessed my wife's size by eye, correctly, first time! She whisked her away to the fitting room and came back a few minutes later with choices all made. I got to sit on the nice chaise longue and twiddle my thumbs. This is the first time in her life that my 34 year old wife has actually had bras that fit her properly. Everybody is happy. Ryd more

best place for your girls! 8/22/2010

i love La Petite Coquette. tired of spending money on ill fitting bras, i decided to venture into here after reading some celebrity reviews. 5 years later, i'm still a loyal customer. you cannot beat the knowledge of the staff about getting the right bra, especially for me, being large chested. i have left manhattan and still come into the city to buy bras from La Petite Coquette. this place should be an institution for women! more

Best Lingerie in the City 8/21/2010

I work as a stylist and this store is the only place I go to pull lingerie for editorial shoots. They have the most amazing selection and the girls are lovely. Hands down the best place in the city for beautiful lingerie. more

love love love it here 8/18/2010

I love this store. I have been shopping here for years and will continue to do so based on the excellent service I receive, the wide range of brands/price points in the store and the awesome sales and fun toys they have. The store has a downtown feel, meaning not snooty, for example my dog is always welcome. The girls that work in the store literally run around to get you the proper size, make sure you have the proper fit, etc. Highly recommend this store - also awesome for shower presents, birthday presents or just something nice for yourself:) more

the best lingerie 8/15/2010

I always look forward to the annual sale at La Petite Coquette (this time in Aug), but I must admit I do shop there and pay regular prices too! Pretty lingerie is one of my favorite things and they have the best selection!!! believe me, I have looked around. I also love this shop because it has been in the neighborhood forever, it's small and "intimate", they really appreciate your business. The service is kind and gentle. Whenever I shop there I feel like I am visiting a friend who is so glad to see me, it's fun. more

The *Only* Place I Purchase Bras Now 8/14/2010

At this point, a trip to La Petite Coquette is a semi annual pilgrimage to stock up on all necessary unmentionables. I'm consistently blown away by the knowledge, attention, and care of the staff. Sheri assisted me yesterday and gave great critique of each bra I tried on regarding look, comfort, and fit. She listened to exactly what I was looking for (something pretty yet functional with not too much padding and in the $50 price range). Bra shopping used to be one of the more frustrating experiences of my life, but now I relish each trip and am always excited when I leave. Also super impressed with the selection of budget friendly bras that actually last/continually look good. The four bras I bought last year and have been wearing exclusively are holding up rather well. The secret is the lingerie wash they sell at the counter AND expert advice on how to wash/take care of the unmentionables. I consistently recommend La Petite Coquette to my ladyfriends in need of a proper fit. more

Uplifting...simply a wonderful shop 5/13/2010

Everytime I visit I feel as though I am spending time in a friends apartment. I always leave happy with a list of what I want to come back and buy on my next visit. The staff is helpful with suggestions. They are honest and truly aren't trying to sell you something that doesn't look good or fit right. You must check out their pretty drawer(s). It is not to be missed. I always leave feeling very feminine and find myself calling at least one friend telling them they must go Immediately and then calling my husband teasing him with something fabulous I just bought. Truly worth a visit I guarantee you won't be sorry. Enjoy!!! I know I will when I go back again...and again...and again... Pros: Knowledgable and friendly staff. Cons: You will spend more simply because it is fun. more

Fun, Fabulous and Sexy! 5/10/2010

Many thanks to Jeanine and Rebecca at La Petite Coquette...I always find something pretty to take home and that always makes a girl feel special. There's nothing worse than wanting to buy something pretty for yourself and leaving empty handed. I make a point of stopping buy La Petite Coquette every time I am in NYC...I always leave with something fabulous and sexy for myself. The staff go out of there way to actually listen and fit you properly. Not to mention they have a fabulous selection of Hanky Pankys! Ladies if you don't have a pair make your way there and stock you pantie drawer! The most comfortable and sexy underwear you will ever put on. They are seamless, COMFORTABLE and sexy all at the same time. The only sad thing about this store is that there's isn't one in Vancouver. But it's such a luscious treat to stop by when I make my way to New York... Looking forward to stopping in sooner than later. Pros: Great selection and great staff... Cons: They don't have a store in Vancouver :( more

The Place to go for Beautiful Lingerie 4/29/2010

Makes shopping for lingerie a great experience. Beautiful bras, panties and more that will make you feel sexy. I felt very confident leaveing the store that I had not only the right size, but gorgeous, feminine bras and panties for work and play. See Chanelle, one of the sales women, she is smart and sassy and will get you everything you need. Thanks Chantelle! I love the Simone Perele the best! Pros: sharp staff, great selection, lots of attention Cons: you wwill want to buy everything! more

Great store!!! 4/17/2010

This store is amazing!! They have a great selection of bras and underwear and they are great quality. I also have found great bathing suits here. The salespeople are incredibly friendly and helpful, and give you a lot of attention without making you feel pressured to spend a lot of money. I love this place! Pros: Incredible lingerie and bathing suits Cons: None more

I adore this place! 3/22/2010

This is my go-to shop for lingerie in the city. They carry some of my favorite stand-by brands (Hanky Panky, Cosabella...) as well as a variety of off the baten path brands. I always find great things here. It is a super comfortable place to shop and the staff is very helpful without being pushy. Love love love love!!!! Pros: Great selection, friendly staff Cons: none more

What a great experience! 3/11/2010

It started out simply enough. When I was asked to put together an itinerary for a girls' weekend in the Big Apple, I knew I was going to take our party to one of two lingerie boutiques renowned for their selection and expertise. I scheduled a stop at La Petite Coquette - a cute little lingerie store in the West Village - to coincide with a girly lunch at Sweetie Pie around the corner. I completely realize that writing about a bra-and-panty shopping experience is a touch personal, given that women tend to hold these experiences close to their chest (pun intended!). I am one of these women, after all. But women deserve to know the truth. And if any woman is going to truly purchase comfortable, well-fitting, and subsequently, well, sexy lingerie, she is going to have to resign herself to the same cold hard truth that I faced while standing in the perfectly-pink dressing room of the boutique. I had no idea how a bra was supposed to fit. I can't beat myself up too much about it. Between mass media and society, bra size has been boiled down to a seemingly simple formula - petite women with small breasts wear an A cup, and women who are shaped like Joan Holloway of Mad Men wear DD's. Everyone else probably wears a B or C (good luck deciding between the two). Thank goodness, we happened to fall under the good graces of owner Rebecca Aspan shortly after walking into the boutique. As we stood around watching my friend peruse the racks, secretly hoping that she would once and for all steer clear of the bride-to-be bedazzled Hankie Pankies, Rebecca approached our group and told us that she was bored and wanted to do some fittings. Having done my research, I knew that Rebecca is considered the expert. Though I was not worried about her working her magic, I was curious as to how she might figure out our fit. Well, she took one look at some of our petite party members and declared their sizes with little more than a glance. As for the rest of us, she felt the sides of our torso underneath our arms, felt us up, and gave us a good onceover before assigning us new bra sizes. Though the size that she told me made sense, I just could not fathom that I, yes I, am the kind of woman who did not understand how a bra is supposed to fit! Lo and behold, I found the pieces that I selected from my new-sized drawer to be beautiful, well-fitted - and way more comfortable than any of the other bras I own. Granted, purchasing a Chantelle bra set me back almost as much as a new pair of boots, but it was incredibly worth the splurge. On my very-recent trip to New Orleans, I furthered my collection. So to every woman out there who has never been properly fitted, I have one word of advice: Run, do not walk, to the nearest local lingerie boutique (other than Victoria's Secret!) and allow someone to fit you. And if you are lucky enough to find yourself around the corner from La Petite Coquette, you would be incredibly remiss to not stop in and have a fitting with Rebecca. more

great bra fitting!! 2/26/2010

On my way home from work last week I stopped into La Petite Coquette for the first time and now I can safely say this is my new favorite lingerie store!! I was fitted by Rebecca, who I believe is the owner, and it made me feel so special that the owner of a boutique would take the time to help fit a customer and not just leave it to the other sales girls. She was really friendly, asking me about my horoscope, and where I’m from and you can’t believe how shocked I was when she told me that I was a 30E after I walked in wearing a 34C. Holy cow!!!!!!!! Shopping for lingerie can be a bit intimidating, but Rebecca made me feel very comfortable and sexy in my new Freya bra. It seemed like they have a good selection of large cup sizes and I will be definitely be back for more! more

Victoria Secret Never Again! 2/24/2010

Hello my name is Julie Anderson, and I'm proud to say I shopped at La Petite Coquette! For years, I thought finding a bra for my size was pointless and impossible. However, now I know of a place that has a extremely supportive staff, and a sassy honest owner! The owner is full of spunk and years of experience of finding the right size for the impossible! And I'm one of those girls who walked in as a wreck and came out as a new found lady! I am so thankful for their support and knowledge that many other bra places lack. The staff at the La Petite Coquette will go far and beyond to find a size for you and ensure you there's hope for the impossible. Now I know a bra is not your enemy, but somebody there who's supportive of your needs and more! All my life, I thought there was no bra that can ever fit me expect if I were to get a breast reduction. That was implanted in my head for so long when I got turned down to get measured and the horrible treatment and ill informed at Victoria Secret. They treated me as someone a hopeless case and threw any bra at me. They couldn't even give me the right size! For example the staff including the manager at Victoria Secret told me I can stretch out the bra, refused helping me and telling me I was a "32 F". And for a few years I believed them and I refused for so long that there was a bra for me. But after today, I see a new light! I went to La Petite Coquette to see if they can help me and they did. I went in, the staff could tell just by seeing I was ill fitted and I was bigger that Victoria Secret told me. The owner came herself and just one look she said my worn, and stretched out bra was "horrible! Who told you can fit that!?" the owner also said I was at least "32 H or 32 I" I was surprised and I thought finding a bra bigger was going to add more to my problems. However, I was mistaken. They ensured me that they can find a size for me even if they have to find another store that was around the area. My gosh! I almost felt like crying! They fitted me a bra that runs big in a H, after they told me I was a 32 I. Even though they didn't carry any I's. The brand of the 32 H ran big, I wanted to buy it anyway! It's sexy, beautiful, and it fits like a dream! I have no back pain, no shoulder aches, nor the feel that bra is about to break on you, which was my Victoria Secret bra. I give "La Petite Coquette" 5 out of 5 stars. Just because they give me something that nobody ever gave me before in my young life. They gave me a bra that could fit and the honest truth! I would like to say "Thank you everybody at the staff at La Petite Coquette, you gave me the greatest gift a girl can ever have. more

Very unfriendly 2/24/2010

I walked into Petite Coquette today and a woman (who I gather was the owner, Rebecca) starting snarling at another customer standing next to me about how she was "sick of people from other stores coming in and casing out my store...it pisses me off and I recognize them from the shows last week at fashion week anyway" and gestured at me and continued to give me dirty looks. I work in healthcare, not lingerie retail and it was a bizarre hostile environment to walk into when I was just trying to buy a bra. I left and I'm not going back ever again. For alternatives Azaleas on 10th b/t 1st and 2nd Aves is small, friendly and has a great selection or Agent Provocateur if you want to drop more $$. more

Best Lingerie Store in NYC 2/11/2010

I popped in tonight to find something new for Valentine's day. I was greeted by Rebecca (it turns out she is the owner), she asked what I was looking for, "Something sexy for Valentine's? How sexy? Super sexy?" Boy did she have something for me. She was incredibly helpful and found several options instantly. I was struggling with one of the outfits and she quickly jumped in tohelp me make sense of all the strings. I felt like she was very honest about sizing and what worked for me. When I was picking out thigh high/stockings she brought me more budget friendly options which was great. I have shopped here 5 or 6 times before - the other sales girls were always great, but much more low key than the owner. All around great shopping experience every time. Just remember, it is beautiful, high quality lingerie so it is a little expensive. Pros: expert advice, most beautiful selection Cons: nothing really, but dressing room curtains don't close well more

Great staff. Very helpful and friendly. 2/11/2010

I stopped in on a snowy day for a Valentines gift and the staff was delightful and helpful. Recommend their store highly. Pros: great selection, friendly staff Cons: none more

I don't think I will ever by a bra anywhere else... 1/27/2010

I have shopped at La Petite Coquette before and was very pleased with my selection. I went in there again today looking for a new bra and decided there is no reason for me to every buy a bra anywhere else (i.e. VS or Macy's). No other place has ever given me the attention, the quality of service, and the comfort that I needed. Rebecca, the owner of the store, made me laugh, made me feel comfortable (which is pretty hard to do when you are standing there half naked with your boobs hanging out) and really helped me figure out my size. She spent a lot of time with me this afternoon and I could not be more grateful. She has a beautiful store with a great selection (of both colors, styles and sizes). I would recommend this shop to anyone who wants to experience a fun bra shopping time (which it has never been before for me)!!! <3 Pros: Owner/Selection/Store Layout Cons: None more

Editorial
  • The Scene
    You'll need to get buzzed in to this small, extraordinarily frilly store. A wall of signed 8-by-10's attests to the celebs who've shopped here before you--Veronique from the Victoria's Secret catalog (so much for brand loyalty) and Sarah Jessica Parker are a few of the notables. The owner rules the store like a madam and dispenses expert advice: "I like you in red. Just do something about the top."

    The Goods
    Bras, of course, but also corsets, panties, nighties and negligees in every shape and size. Buttery colors reign; style runs the gamut from sex kitten to innocent and feminine to sleek and modern. Everything is classy, and everything can be tried on. And it's not just the women who love this place; a huge male clientele stops by on every important occasion to pick up something for their lucky ladies.
