Tonight was my third time visting LPC. Every time has been better than the previous and this was no exception. Shopping for "unmentionables" can be a vulnerable experience but LPC cradles you through it without an ounce of preconcieved judgement. I came in tonight merely for a garter belt. However I have never owned one nor used one. I had been approached when walking in but wanted to browse first and was met with unflustered responses of "of course." and "let me know if you need anything." It is not about the hardsell at LPC. When I was ready, I met Lilah. She immediately found a lovely GB from the SALE bin (a $120 black lace piece of sexual enuendo marked down to $20 -yes $20.) Trying on is strongly encouraged and as I traveled to the dressing room I mentioned my concern of the garter part showing through the dress I had chosen for that evenings' rendevous. This lead seamlessly into a discussion of what bra I would be wearing. I showed it to Lilah who, within seconds, said to me what Oprah and Tim Gunn have been preaching for years, "Well, you're wearing the wrong size bra." Let me tell you, everything they say on TV is true for once! You stand up straighter. You feel better. Your mood lifts along with your mamories when you wear a correctly fitting bra. Then began a myriad of tryings-on til I had left with 5 bras, 6panties, 1 pair of thigh hi fishnets and of course 1 garter belt. Now, be warned, this is high quality lingerie. The retail value of my purchases should have been over $1600 BUT I had been given a bra-angel, a "Brangel"? Lilah worked her magic and I walked spending a heavenly $777. My head was held high as I walked out with my packages and I commented to my friend who was by my side for the whole thing about my euphoric state and she agreed that even with her mere $300 panty purchase knocked down to $30 she felt a glow as well. This ain't your Hanes or Fruit of the Loom anymore ladies, go treat yourself at Le Petite Coquette!
Pros: LILAH!!! Unpretentious, Quarter-bra.
