Profile

This popular boutique carries sexy high-end lingerie, swimsuits, loungewear, and hosiery from famous European makers and its own sharp, stylish line. The helpful and knowledgeable salespeople make this a favorite source for Valentine's and bridal-shower gifts. Unbelievable sales.

Key Departments

Bridal

The girlie-girl’s favorite lingerie shop carries corsets, bras, and panties in mesh, lace, silk-satin brocade, and microfiber, plus all sorts of pretty garments from upcoming designers like Modern Courtesan. Styles can be altered to fit, a service you might be interested in with master fitter Rebecca Apsan (check out her obsessive The Lingerie Handbook  if you need further proof). Corsets are $160 to $600.
