Editorial Review for La Petite Coquette - Imported lingerie & fine intimate apparel – by Liz Zack
The Scene
You'll need to get buzzed in to this small, extraordinarily frilly store. A wall of signed 8-by-10's attests to the celebs who've shopped here before you--Veronique from the Victoria's Secret catalog (so much for brand loyalty) and Sarah Jessica Parker are a few of the notables. The owner rules the store like a madam and dispenses expert advice: "I like you in red. Just do something about the top."
The Goods
Bras, of course, but also corsets, panties, nighties and negligees in every shape and size. Buttery colors reign; style runs the gamut from sex kitten to innocent and feminine to sleek and modern. Everything is classy, and everything can be tried on. And it's not just the women who love this place; a huge male clientele stops by on every important occasion to pick up something for their lucky ladies.

I was completely intimidated, but they put me at ease the minute I set foot inside the store. Tania came over and asked if she could help, and I asked if she could do a bra fitting. She said of course, set me up in a fitting room, and then chatted with me about what I was looking for. Once she established the proper size (of course I'd been wearing the wrong size for years!) by having me try on her best guess (which was right), she then brought in waves of bras for me to try on...evaluating each for fit. Tania was so wonderfully helpful and made this a fun, completely comfortable, unrushed, and informative process! I'm going back soon and sending all my friends! They've got wonderfully sweet staff, unbeatable customer service, beautiful lingerie, and a wide range of prices! Don't even think about going anywhere else!
Pros: Nicest staff, excellent bra fitting, and wonderful selection.

Shopping for swimsuits and lingerie is generally an awful experience for me. However, I wanted to buy a few items for my honeymoon and so I, at the urging of a friend, bravely entered La Petite Coquette. What a fun experience! Lila is very positive person, she is intuitive, knows her business and has great taste. She made excellent recommendations for what would work for my almost six foot tall, almost 40 year old, size 12 body and 2.5 hours and 16 items later I had a bag full of beautiful truly flattering things. I guarantee that my fiancee will appreciate our honeymoon just a little more! I highly recommend this establishment for people of all sizes and shapes!
