1 Stars: Wasted birthday gift (by Phila S.)

I made the colossal mistake of buying my sister a gift certificate to this place with a bra fitting thinking that it will be fun for her. The bra they sold her was way too tight for her and it kept digging into her shoulders. She had expressed her concern about the bra size but they assured her it will be fine. After the first time she could never use it again. The same with the underwear. It did exactly what she did not want it to do. Since she had paid above the certificate she went back to them and they refused to accept that the bra was too tight and the underwear the wrong fit, did not offer a different size for her to try or speak to manager. Very poor customer service for a place that it supposed to sell high end lingerie, not to mention the fact that the fitters clearly have no idea what they're doing. Completely unacceptable.

4 Stars: Great gift idea for that special lady in your life (by Brandon K.)

While I have never actually purchased garments here, I have purchased gift certificates for my girlfriend. She absolutely loves the place. I must admit, they have some very well-made and sexy lingerie. My girlfriend felt very comfortable with the professional fitting and very much enjoyed the experience. Gift certificates here are a great idea because she gets what she wants and clothing (let alone lingerie) is nearly impossible to buy for someone else.

The lingerie world has been inundated, has been flooded, has been completely taken over by Victoria Secrets that you dont even think of other options. We all need to remember that there are some incredibly sexy independent lingerie designers out there and this place carries a ton of it. This place is great!
