I used to come regularly to shop at La Petite Coquette for the beautiful lingerie that made my boyfriend (now fiance) go nuts. They used to have a lot of selection, with many gorgeous things in my size to purchase. They also used to have a lovely and bubbly sales associate with curly blonde hair (i've unfortunately forgotten her name) who would help me whenever I went in. She always remembered my name and size, and would bring me just the right things. I went in the other day and found that the selection of bras in my size was not as full as it used to be, and the woman who "helped" me was standoffish at best. She seemed like she couldn't care less about me, and I had to hunt her down in the store just to ask a question. She was more interested in speaking with the other sales associate than she was in actually selling things. I've walked out of La Petite Coquette before having spent between $1000 and $2000 a time there, and this time I left with nothing. It's a shame- for me, for the neighborhood, and for their own business.
Pros: Some very beautiful items
Cons: Selection in bigger cup sizes has gone downhill.
