I absolutely adore this store!!! I can not not go into the city without steeping into the "Little Flirt." I am one who is very passionate about lingerie, and if anyone else feels the same, then this is your kind of store. The sales' ladies are as sweet as the store name; providing any type of lacy intimate that suites your desire. Lots of pink, deep reds, and perl whites cover the store giving off a suductive feeling making it hard not to get you in the mood. La Petite Coquette is a one-of-a-kind-store like no other. This is by far the best lingerie store EVER!!!!! Just can't get enough!

Bra selection in larger cups

I was so pleased to find a store that sells bras in the GH cups for smaller sized women around. When I tried on one bra, the salesperson said that I would need a larger cup size, and I inwardly groaned because I figured that meant they didn't have it. But no, going from G to H was no problem for this store. The service was great. Problem: can I convince them to carry size xtra large in slips, sleepwear, etc? And perhaps to carry Goddess bras, which are so beautiful and also the best support I have ever owned?
