Review from Crystal S.

I came here with my Groupon (can I say hooray for cheaper bras??) and I was impressed. Although not a large store, and not a huge selection, they were eager to help and offered to order in my size if need be.
As a person who wears a size not found in your common mall bra stores, I currently seem to be slowly touring our local higher end lingerie stores. Or at least that's how it seems. Yes, the prices at this store, like its competitors, are higher than La Senza and others; unfortunately, some of us do not fit in the sizes provided at these less costly alternatives. Are the prices here worth it? So long as the bra lasts for awhile and I stay comfy, I'm fine with it. Would I like to pay less? Well, of course. Since that just isn't going to happen any time soon, I'll just continue to be happy we have such a great variety of stores that carry my size.
Will I be back? Yes, I hope to be. The only downside for me is the distance to travel, and parking around Whyte Ave feels like such a pain. Otherwise, the staff were great, friendly and helpful, despite being busy. -

Sarah encouraged me to purchase a Groupon for this place, as they claimed to have bra sizes that would fit her in its advertisement. The name of the store implies this as well.
And now I regret the purchase, as she went to check the place out, and the only lingerie in her size was ugly, cheap-looking and cost $160. If she wants a bra of that ilk, she can go to AdditionElle and pay a fraction of the price.
Perhaps there was just a run on the stock as the Groupon expired. And Groupon isn't quite as kind with its return policy as it once was, so I'm stuck with $35 to spend at a store which doesn't have anything for either of us. I hate poorly reviewing local businesses, but this was one Groupon experience which worked out very poorly for us. -

I like this place. The prices are on par if not a little cheaper than other specialty lingerie/bra stores. They carry a variety of sizes including some for larger sizes. They don't carry a lot though, and often they don't have my size which is disappointing. I am very small in the band and find it hard to find a bra. They carry some good brands, and some mediocre brands, but overall the quality is there. The staff is always helpful and will tell you what they think of the fit- they will not sell you a bra that does not fit right.
So I am giving this store 4/5. I just wish they carried more stock, so they would have my size. -

Not a fan of this place at all...I purchased their recent groupon and was really dissappointed in the store itself, there was very little selection and I was hoping to get some cute pieces, but I just found that they were really dated and geared toward much older woman. After spending way more than I thought I would and being unhappy with my purchase, I called to see if I could return or exchange the product...I am now waiting on a third person to call me back....not a good way to run a business...
So whatever, I'll keep my bra....but I would never go back... -

I think this has become my favorite shop for undergarments now. It's pricey compared to your standard mall shops like La Senza, but the quality and uniqueness of the pieces here are evident. I Am Woman proves that a gal can be sexy and comfortable at the same time!
Their second floor is now open, and it's quite racier than the main floor, let me say. If you're an adventurous gal or just appreciate luxury in general, give it a look-see. They have a variety of toys and lingerie, as well as a line of body lotions and massage oils. I thought the lotions were pretty neat, as the labels claimed they had pheromones. Not sure if that's true, but it would be cool if they worked huh? You'd be invincible to the opposite sex! I didn't buy any, but I did have a sniff, and they smelled pretty yummy.
Be sure to sign up for their members list, because then they will send you emails about their huge sales. And trust me, when they have a sale, it's a big deal!1 Previous Review: Show all »

I always feel slightly embarrassed walking into a lingerie shop for one reason or another, but I felt pretty comfortable here. It's a small shop, but they sell quite the variety of items for women.
When I first walked in, I noticed they sold pants, like jeans and codroys. They actually did have size 14, so I thought that was really cool. I found a really nice pair of dark blue jeans and brown cords, but they each cost around $100. That was just slightly too pricey for me, and I am pretty sure I can find something just as nice elsewhere for about $70.
They had a lot of bras here that I really liked. Most of them were pretty, yet sexy. I wanted to try them on, but they were pretty expensive. The prices started at about $63, and I think that's just way too much for a bra.
I was excited, when I spotted a clearance rack with a bunch of pants and shirts. I found some jeans in my size marked down to $70, but they really weren't that nice.
Something wants me to come back to this store though, even though the prices turn me off. I also think it would be great to have a professional bra fitting, because I've always had the feeling I am wearing the wrong size.
