Review content:
I have shopped in a number of lingerie stores in NYC, and this one is the best, both in terms of the selection on hand as well as the professionalism of the women who work there. Let's face it, shopping for bras can be as painful, if not worse, than shopping for a bathing suit; yet I have not met a single woman whose "presentation" is not substantially improved by skilled expert assistance.
At La Petite Coquette, the bottom line is that you will get perfect fit. This just isn't the case at some other lingerie shops, where you will be dispatched to the register with merely good fit. Here, they want you to look your best, and know how to get you there. I have purchased work-horse everyday bras, special-purpose bras, and of course seduction gear. Not only do they know what they're doing and have a huge selection, but the staff has a range of taste and can helpfully articulate what's useful about one version of seduction versus another. They know how to figure out what's in your imagination, quell your fears, and then hook your girls up.
Finally, one last thing, in my view the staff at La Petite Coquette are exceptionally graceful at working within any given budget. In my view, this is nearly as important as being graceful about the vast range of bodies that they address. I shop a lot, in a range of differently-scaled boutiques, and I do not think this particular quality is as common as it should be. Everyone cannot spend $200 on a bra, even if it fits perfectly; while very little in La Petite Coquette would be considered cheap, I was shown a wide range of price-points, and there was absolutely no unpleasantness about my inclination that day toward the lower end.
All of us need to re-fit and upgrade on a regular basis, and I say a quarterly visit to La Petite Coquette is almost as wise an investment in your appearance as sunscreen. Thanks ladies!
Pros: Ambience, selection, expertise of staff
Cons: pricey
