Bra fitting comes for free, which is always great, however also the lady, Susanna who founded the boutique, has a personal way of dealing with her customers. I can certainly say she told me honestly what she thought of my old lingerie and where I should put it :) I was happy that I got professional, honest and really encouraging service for once and felt million dollars when leaving the shop. The experience really made me feel great and good about the whole day. I think I will definitely visit again! Many thanks!

I love this 40s inspired lingerie boutique. We seem to have lost some glamour since then but I've…read moreseen more and more of these independent stores opening up to revive a byegone era, especially since Burlesque has become so popular once again. The gorgeous boned corsets are a bit out of my price range and I'm not entirely sure about the pointy bras, but the retro seamed stockings and french knickers are super sexy and pretty reasonable too, starting at £4.50. If you want accessories to finish your look they also got satin gloves and of course high waist suspenders! Et voila, you're Ava Gardner.

I love boobs. I really do, but sometimes they get a little boring. "Boring?" I hear you cry... Yes,…read moredown right boring. I'm mean, there they are sitting on your chest, being all boobie-like. They can be pushed up, Wonder Bra style, or minimised down, M&S style. Either way, that's about all they can do. Now What Katy Did, is she re-introduced vintage undies. If you have tits, you can't wear other people's bras, that's like borrowing a fountain pen; it's been molded by its owners personal style of movement and shape. So if you want to explore the bra and undergarment styles of the past, buying them vintage is pretty tough. But here, you actually can have a clean, freshly made 1950s pointy bra. Don't think Madonna, think Joan from Mad Men. I promise you they are sexy. They also do fantastic sets and burlesque undies, all a little crazy for me, but fun to try on. The staff here, I will say, are very helpful, not very friendly but they certainly know their products and will advise you as to shape and style as well as sizing. This is a specialist undies shop. And if you want a new look for your boobs, you'll find it here. The shop is just inside the small arcade by the side of The Portobello Green Market.

Tallulah makes an event out of buying a bra. The shop on Cross Street hangs knickers provocatively…read moreacross its window and nightdresses on a clothes stand by the door. There is a very deliberate feel of old fashioned romance and 1940's glamour to the whole place. Although there is a very limited selection of stock (understandable given the size of the place) the owner is very helpful and makes a real effort to find a size and style that will suit. She's not one of these awkward, obtrusive bra ladies either, you know the type that pull at the curtains before you've got time to make yourself decent? After turning on the changing room radiator for me so that I wouldn't get too cold, she left me pretty much alone, only interrupting to occasionally poke another option through the curtains. I love the set that I bought even though I could have got three for the same price at M & S. The owner knew it was just for me but she still spent the time wrapping it up beautifully in tissue and ribbon. It's touches like this that make the occasional spending splurge worth it! As I was leaving I noticed that they have a beautician's upstairs too. Although I'm yet to try it out it's definitely on the cards after all the great service I received.

When I came to Tallulah (Hopefully named after Ms. Bankhead), they were having a party. I was…read moreinvited in and offered a drink anyway and was able to browse after hours. I didn't drink the wine or nick Ferro Rochers ( I should have) but I had a good look around. Tallulah is a small shop, actually very small selling pretty lingerie that is really expensive and silky. All the lingerie here is nice but a silk robe here will cost you a hundred pounds and a silk sheath will cost you at least 70. There are a lot of designer names to be had like La Perla. You can also get private fittings. A lot of the time, this shop is closed and is viewable only by appointment. The Verdict: No bad for sexiness, labels. I think a lot of women will go crazy for this store. Good for a present for your girl. I'll stick with latex.

She just looks at you and immediately knows your size without getting a tape measure out. She also knows what bras would fit perfectly. She is the buyer for Leibergs and the shop has a huge stock of the prettiest and most gorgeous bras, mainly from Europe. Yesterday I took a girlfriend in. Immediately, she was hooked. After buying three bras she swore she would never get her bras fitted at a West end store ever again. None of them can fit like Frances and her staff. Also, we both bought one of their beautiful/continental swimsuits. Normally, it's an ordeal trying to get one to fit perfectly at a store but Frances immediately knew what swimsuit would give us the best support and what would suit us the most. Thank you Frances and thank you Leibergs.

The store is easy enough to find and is nicely situated in Covent Garden which is great for shopping and eating. The store is bright, well presented and the lay out is good. The downstairs fitting area is very luxurious with lovely décor and a nice couch for bored husbands/boyfriends to sit and wait. The staff are plentiful, very knowledgeable and extremely polite, professional and friendly. I went to be measured as I realised one day that I had absolutely no idea what size I was and that every bra I owned was rubbish and didn't support me at all. The young lady assigned to fit me was very friendly and asked if it was OK for her to be in the changing cubicle with me whilst I was trying on bras which I thought was a refreshing change from the M&S fittings I've had where the assistant will just barge in on you no matter what state of undress you're in. Bravissimo don't believe in measuring women with a tape measure as apparently this is not at all accurate. They do it mostly by eye and it's a real skill. The girl who was fitting me told me it was her first time and when she called her supervisor to check if she'd made the right decision in determining my size, she had got it spot-on and I was very impressed! As it happens, I had been wearing a 38D when in fact I was a 32GG! Once we knew what size I was, she asked me what kind of styles I liked and went to fetch me some things to try on. I can't fault the quality of service at Covent Garden in the slightest. Where the store does fall down is firstly in the organisation of the stock on the racks. On the day I went, it was early and there were hardly any customers yet all the stock was completely out of order. You would think all the sizes would run from smallest at the front and have the biggest at the back. However, once I knew my size I had to spend ages going through the racks checking the labels on every single bra because they were all over the place. The second problem I have with this branch is that there was not a lot of selection. There was only a teeny tiny fraction of items available in the store that are available on the website and in the catalogue. There also didn't appear to be much of the newer lines in the store - a lot of what they had there seemed to be from the last catalogue and not the most recent one. However, you can order anything you want for home delivery and there is no delivery charge if you order in-store. Lastly, knickers. On my visit to Bravissimo in Covent Garden, every time I found a bra in a style I liked and spent ages rifling through all of them to find one in my size, I could never find any knickers to match. It was very frustrating and I ended up ordering most of the stuff that I had gone all the way from Hackney to Covent Garden to buy and bring home.
