First off...I hate bra shopping! I have bras that are older than my 17 year old daughter lol! But I finally decided to update my wardrobe with a new bra. After seeing recommendations for Aphrodite's Closet in social media groups, I finally made my way there. I was greeted by the owner, Ms. Tina, in the beautifully decorated store. It's located off the street in a non descript storefront but once you step inside, you know you're in a female friendly space. Ms Tina asked about the problems I was experiencing with my current fit and then literally sized me up. I went from a 40D to a customized 38G which fit like a glove. While she was busy providing the individualized fitting. I mused about the price, think it would be over $100 for each handmade brassiere so I was thrilled to hear the bras run under $75. Which is still a lot for a single bra compared to department store brands but the quality was outstanding. She explained how they are made and that you can also customize the look. I looked and felt like a brand new woman. So much so that I nabbed a sports bra on the way out. Plan to upgrade your wardrobe soon. You'll be glad you did. read more

Tina is so knowledgeable and fun! She helped me pick out baby dolls for a friends upcoming bachelorette. She will do fittings! The cost is sooo much better compared to Victoria's Secret and the quality is nice. The designer keeps up with trends and there's something for everyone. I will be coming back. read more

Aphrodite's Closet is located Windcrest Square shopping center near H-E-B in NE SA / Windcrest area where Walzem Rd and Montgomery Rd meet up. I happened in one day last year just being curious... ... I had seriously had no plans to purchase anything... I walked out that day with one bra and a long wish list! Miss Tina is amazing, so amazing that I need to quote Stephanie O., "She is a bra goddess and she will change your life!!!" and Jen H. "EVERY WOMAN needs to be "Fitted" by the Bra Whisperer!!!" It was a slow day so we got a chance to chat for about an hour or so. I wanted to take pics of the shop to share, so we talked about Yelp and being a Yelp Elite. Miss Tina does charge for fittings if you don't make a purchase that same day. Once you get the right fit tho, you will never look back. I have never in my life ever been fitted for a high end bra. Never ever would I think about spending this kind of cash for a bra... Let me tell y'all tho... It is worth every single penny! I put on that Ewa Michalak handmade bra from Poland and tears came to my eyes as my shoulders lifted up and back went straight... Wow, just Wow! This designer is so fabulous, just look at my girls! Support local y'all! Support local small businesses! Support local small women owned businesses! Oh ... and be sure to join their VIP club... Miss Tina is always running specials for her VIPs! I've been back several times to check off that wish list that was started a year ago. Just a note tho, the designs do retire so if you find one that you like, either purchase it right then or let Miss Tina order the correct size for you. I did have to order a few myself as my size 36HH "flies off the shelf quick!" I think it could take up to two months depending on back orders, but it is totally worth the wait, totally worth the investment. Miss Tina has several lines in her stores but the designer she really like to work with is Ewa Michalak. I follow them both on IG... here goes another Wow! If you are a plus size woman like me, get here quick! Let Miss Tina take care of you and the girls... She carries sizes for all! Aphrodite's Closet just celebrated 7 years, lucky 7! P.S. I loved her purple wall color so much that she gave me the name... Behr Ultra Flat Purple Elderberry read more

The owner was very accommodating, knowledgeable, helpful, and kind and understanding with my wife!

Beyond excellent experience. My daughter and I went for bra sizing today. The owner was amazing. She took time to size us, show us styles, and so much more. I'll just say I was wearing several cup sizes too small. LADIES....IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY! She also has lingerie, robes, silky pajamas, and more. Take a trip! read more

DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE! This place is AMAZING. Tina was so personable and has an amazing spirit. Her collection is absolutely beautiful and is really accommodating for every shape, style and size. If you looking for lingerie, sexy or little bit more 'conservative', or just an every day bra and pantie set THIS IS THE PLACE. thank you ms.Tina! I'll definitely be back read more

Very accommodating , assisting with getting the proper fit , very knowledgeable. She makes sure you feel comfortable. The selection is great. Love my Ewa Michalale , only bra that my breasts don't tumble out of and still looks sexy. Highly recommend read more

When at Aphrodite's Closet, guests are welcomed like friends and given the individualized time and attention necessary to determine the best product for their needs. This small business offers a lovely inventory of lingerie, robes and bras. Owner, Tina, provides customized bra fitting and is available to assist with catalog orders should a need arise. This is a wonderful business; well worth visiting again and again! read more

Her service is amazing and she made me feel welcome. She was very good at grabbing the right sizes. She also carried bigger sizes. There was a decent mix of selection from risqué to classic. And the quality of the lingerie appeared good as well. read more

So I wanted to get home and wear my new bras for a couple days before reviewing the store. First, Tina is just wonderful!! She let me shop and look around without any pressure, when asked she offered suggestions and showed me the different options she had available. I had initially gone in for some sexy lingerie - found a fantastic outfit Then started looking at bras - hadn't planned on buying any but dang can I just say Tina knows and understands fitting bras! I was wearing the wrong size completely - and I can say this because since coming home I've worn my old ones a couple times just for comparison and I'm hooked, sold, and in love with my new bras! Thank you Tina for such a a wonderful afternoon and my new bra and panty matching sets you will definitely see me in the future. read more

Wow..... EVERY WOMAN needs to be "Fitted" by the Bra Whisperer!!! I'd be willing to bet you are in an ill fitted bra!!!! You just can't find customer service like this anymore, anywhere!!! And the quality is amazing, this is a hand sewn, beautifully designed and perfectly fitting bra! My girls are front and center, high and proud, and it's COMFORTABLE AND SEXY!!!! YES ladies that's possible! Highly recommend a visit here!!! read more

Had an awesome experience here at Aphrodite's Closet. I have struggled to find a place that could fit me into my true bra size and within minutes I was fitted with a beautiful handmade bra that made me look slimmer, helped with my posture, and made my girls look amazing!! This shop carries brands that you will not find any where else in the city and the staff is so knowledgeable about what kind of bra suits your shape. Check out her blog online, see for yourself how well they know this subject- you will not regret buying from here! read more

Was in TX for a family get together and I needed new bras so I contacted Tina before I came. I was worried about the timing since I was flying in, but she was incredibly accommodating to make sure I was able to get what I needed. She is so sweet and amazing at what she does! The bra was so comfortable and my husband was shocked at how good I looked in it! She knows what she's doing and takes pleasure in taking care of her clients. Her prices are reasonable and she knows how to fit you just right to make the bra comfortable while still looking great! The only part I don't like is that she's so far away so I can't come back whenever I want. I will definitely buy more bras whenever I can and have them shipped if needed. Ladies, she's so good your husband will love you even in a plain nude bra read more

Let me start with I have never been treated this good in this type of place. The owner was welcoming and helpful and attentive to all my requests. I went home with 2 great sets and a robe. And I tell everyone about them. read more

Living in New Braunfels and being a 34H, there aren't a lot of options for boutique lingerie and bra shopping. I found Aphrodite's Closet by Googling plus-size lingerie (I'm a size 16 at the moment) and wanted something sexy for a night out with the husband. When I first walked in, I was greeted by a friendly and warm woman, the owner, Tina. Since I'm bigger, I've been professionally fitted my whole life and nearly every time I get fitted by someone new, they want to put me in a different size and I end up arguing with my fitter. So I was braced for this walking in, I was defensive from the get-go. Tina met me and my husband and asked me what I was looking for. Lingerie was my specific reason for the visit. I told her what size I was, 34H/size 16, and asked if she had anything that might fit me. She asked if she could fit me, because she wasn't sure I was in the right size, and I got a little angry (remember I said I was going in defensive) and told her that was my size. Period. She was immediately apologetic and showed me what lingerie she had. Unfortunately, none of the cup sizes were made for big, floppy boobies, so the in-store selection of lingerie didn't work. Tina was telling me about a designer she works with that is from Poland... Ewa Michalak. She said she had a look book she could send me in email from which I could custom order lingerie in my size. I asked her if she had any Ewa bras in stock in my size and she said yes, so I said let's try them on! Tina started explaining about wire shape to me. She talked about bottom-heavy versus top-heavy breasts and where the root of the breast starts. No one, not a single fitter in my past, has ever mentioned any of these things to me before. She told me that my current bra (which was sized correctly by the way) was pushing my breasts to the side and into my armpits because the wire was the wrong shape on the bottom. I needed a narrow wire at the base of the breast and a fuller cup, which is exactly how Ewa Michalak's bras are designed. OMG, the very first bra I tried on my eyes bugged out of my head... and so did my husband's! My girls have never looked this good. I have longer breasts, gravity has not been kind, and these puppies were up. I had full tacking in the center, the cups are not full-coverage, so I even have cleavage. I bought two unlined bras and two lined bras. And I've ordered two custom baby doll lingerie pieces too. Do yourself a favor and go see Ms. Tina. She is a bra goddess and she will change your life!!! read more

Omg this woman is the real deal! I finally got in to see her and Im so glad I did! Turns out I was wearing 6 sizes too SMALL! I went in wearing at 34DD and left with A 32H !!! She took one look at me and knew my size. She made me feel extremely comfortable as well. I will definitely be back for more bras! If there was a Boob Committee she would have my vote! Bwhahaha. read more

Tina is AMAZING!! She was so helpful and informative! And made me feel very comfortable during the whole process. Will definitely be going back! read more

Hidden gem in San Antonio for accurate bra sizing and shape. Tina is very knowledgable and has such a kind heart. She wants to make sure every woman is wearing the best bra for her shape and size. I thought I was a 36C and it turns out I'm a 32F. Tina stocks only the best in bras, many of which she imports from Poland. She also has very affordable lingerie. The experience was very eye opening and comfortable - not always the case when going shirtless. read more

Tina is the most amazing fairy bra mother!!! I've been shopping with her for over 2 years now. She has not only fit my ginormous chest, but she has fit my very petite daughter with the most beautiful luscious bras!!!! She will custom fit, special order any size bra you need. Sexy night wear, oh my. I have referred several friends who are also in love with the selection and service. Can't wait to see you again next month!! read more

Idk even know where to begin. Finding this gem was life changing. These bras are life changing. No more deodorant under the breast during the summer. My posture has improved clothes fit better. I will never buy from a department store again in my life. Thank you Ms.Tina for teaching me the importance of wearing the correct bra and forever changing my life! read more

This store is definitely one of the best lingerie stores in San Antonio, if not the whole Hill Country. I've been here four times, by myself and with a friend, and each time, the owner and operator, Tina, gives fantastic, hands-on service that puts Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus to shame. I've never walked out less than satisfied with my service or my purchase. I think there are really two components to how great this store is: The first is Tina herself. She is really dedicated to getting every woman who comes through her doors properly fitted and educated, and also into a really awesome -looking and -fitting bra. She never does the hard sell, which is nice because there is nothing worse than trying on bras and having a saleslady really push for you to buy it right then and there, when maybe you aren't sure. No, instead she lets her fitting do the work for her. Just putting on a bra that doesn't feel like a medieval torture device is so pleasant, and honestly, seeing my breasts look nice and perky whilst not crushing my rib cage is enough to make me want to buy a bra right then and there. She uses UK sizing, which is more accurate than US bra sizing, and spends a significant portion of time in each fitting explaining what a properly fitting bra should look and feel like, and how to get the same fit in different lingerie stores. Also, her fittings are free, so even if you don't purchase a bra, you've still gotten a nifty educational lesson in bra-fitting. Secondly, Tina has a pretty good selection of bras, and is always looking to improve them as well. I know she currently carries Curvy Kate and Parfait by Affinitas (both are impossible to find elsewhere in San Antonio), as well as Elomi for more full-figured ladies. The last time I spoke to her, she was also thinking of stocking the Polish lingerie brand Ewa Michalak as well! This large brand selection is important because only half of the fitting has to do with properly sizing a lady - the other half is figuring out what style of bra will work with the shape of her breasts! For an example, a friend and I went together last weekend, since my friend was interested in getting fitted. We're not that many sizes off - she's a 36FF and I'm a 34F - but the shape of our breasts is totally different, so what looks great on me looks terrible on her, and vice-versa! However, Tina was able to size both of us with ease, and also recommend some flattering, comfortable bras for both of us. She also sells swimsuits too! I bought a cute bikini top from her, and it's the first time in years I feel like I can swim in public and not risk arrest on public indecency charges. Final point: Tina is also very conscious of the lingerie market in San Antonio. Although this is a specialty boutique, her prices are about comparable with non-sale Victoria's Secret. That's in the range of $40-60 per bra. Although that sounds expensive if you've been buying Hanes bras for the last few years, it's really affordable compared to the average lingerie brand price at Nordstrom's or Neiman Marcus, which is more in the $60-90 range. I know I appreciate the fact that I can invest in a good foundation garment wardrobe without breaking the bank. In terms of location, it's in little shopping center right when Walzem Road runs into Montgomery Road - if you see a sign for a barbeque place and a tae-kwon-do studio, you're in the right place. The storefront is teeny-weeny, but it's bigger on the inside than it looks, so just go in! I know I hesitated a little bit the first time I saw it, but it's really not that frightening or strange. She has it painted a lovely dark purple, with a sitting area in the front and the fitting rooms in the back and displays in between. It's very intimate, not intimidating; it's also very clean and tidy, which is a plus, since I hate messy stores. Basically, this store is the bomb, you should totally go if you hate wearing bras, because you're probably not fitted correctly. I went from being in a state of acute back and shoulder pain every day, just counting the hours until I could go home and take off the monstrous device and put on a cheap sports bra, to easily wearing an underwired bra 10-12 hours a day and not even noticing. It's an amazing improvement in my quality of life, and it's all thanks to Tina! read more

Aphrodite's Closet is a warm, welcoming, upscale lingerie boutique. Miss Tina, the Owner, is friendly, amazingly knowledgeable, and non-judgemental. Shopping here is an elevated experience due to 5-star concierge level service. Miss Tina took the necessary time to fit me with, for the first time in my life, and I have considerable life experience, a bra that actually fits. I recommend allowing Miss Tina to provide you with her customized fitting service. It is well worth the money to be fitted with an amazing bra! I was so impressed with the fit of the bra I tried on, I ordered 2 more! Aphrodite's Closet is a rare find, Miss Tina is a true gem, and I'm thrilled to be one of her newest clients! read more

She had me sized and in a new beautiful, hand sewn, perfectly fitting bra in no time. Go check her out today! read more

TINA IS AMAZING!! I have known ive beem wearing the wrong size my whole life and finally gound someone who could get band sizes small enough. I wear a 26FF, in which we made arrangments with a designer she works with in Poland to have a bra made small enough for me. She was fantastic at making adjustments & working with my body in places the bra was tight on me ,since I have never had a properly fitting bra. The bras are super cute & she is wonderful about having you come back to fix ANYTHING that may later be uncomfortable. I will definitely order from her again. read more

Tina is awesome! She will help you get into something that works for you. After seeing that the bra I was in was obviously not gonna work for me she brought in some to get an idea on my size after narrowing it down by measuring me. She got me into something that got perfectly giving me tips on how to care for and make my bras last longer. She even gave me two booklets with the new lines rolling out! I plan on ordering my swimsuit from her! I recommend her to any woman looking for a bra that will actually work! Guys get your girl a gift certificate here she will live it!!!! read more

My girlfriend got married last summer and waited until the last minute to get a corset for her dress. I found Aphrodite's Closet online, called Tina, and she encouraged us to stop by to with some options. She was lovely and incredibly helpful. I love that she has options for all sizes. I couldn't help but purchase a set for my girlfriend who still wears her kimono. I hope more women are aware of this store. There is something for everybody sold by a person who delivered exceptional service. read more

I had always struggled with finding a bra that fit, and that I could wear all day without feeling like I just had to take it off the moment I walked in my door. I found out about Aphrodite's Closet from a rep at lane Bryant when they were unable to fit me. Too narrow band too big boob issue! Lol I finally found, Tina! She does know her stuff! I have learned so much, and finally can wear a bra all day with no issues! I have been through several sizes as I was a nursing momma when I first went in. Tina, has fit me in all my stages. I will be a forever customer! read more

I read all the other reviews & needed a new bra. Well the 2 bras she suggested and sold me were not the right size. She is the bra Nightmare. The underwire cut into my skin and caused an abrasion that lasted for 3 days. When I explained this to Tina she said she would give me an in store credit. I explained that i wanted my money back on the bra i never wore or took the tag off of. She said NO. To me if you are selling me something that harmed me and wanted to keep me as a client you would give me my money back on the purchase. It's not like I was being unreasonable. I wore one of the bras and i was willing to pay for it. The other was returned and NEVER worn. Give me my money back. I will be disputing the charge with my credit card company. Response to Review Debunking: 1) As for as opening specifically for me, you were the one who offered and me spending almost $500.00 for an hours time, I would say was worth the small effort on your part. Besides the fact you said you were coming in to do paperwork anyway. 2) Waiving the fitting fee. Are you joking? What is your idea of a fitting? Bringing me a bra and insisting this was my size? No measuring tape or any other measurements were EVER taken for me or my customer service rep that accompanied me. BTW The bra you insisted fit her was 2 sizes too big and when you finally stopped arguing with her and got a size smaller it was still too big. The bra you sold me cut into me so tight that within an hour it had rubbed under my right breast so much it was almost bleeding & i have pictures to prove it and witnesses at the clothes store where I bought a new bra 1 hour later. 3) Breaking in period for bras...??? I have never heard of that and if you are the bra lady then guess what bit of important information YOU should have shared with me. You guessed it... A little discomfort I can see cutting into me like sandpaper not so much... That bra rubbed me RAW!!! The abrasion lasted until Tuesday. That is the 3 days to which referred 4) I did not tell you I was fine with store credit but you were adamant about not giving me my money back and I needed something in writing for when I disputed the charges and if i dont get money back I can sell the card because I will NEVER set another foot in your store. I will sell it for the cost of 1 bra which is what I originally ask back the money for. The unused and still tagged bra. 5) I stood in your store for almost 10 minutes while you made the gift card and receipt for the return and said not one word about replacing or actually finding a bra that fit. I saw no bras sitting out anywhere. 6) Your comment to me about the return was that it was a good thing you saved the tag so that you could reattach and resell it, so dont try to look like you care about people who are less fortunate. 7) Even though your policies are clearly stated I need to shop at a more reputable store. One who will return UNUSED merchandise with a full refund. I was the one willing to eat the cost of the bra I wore and all I asked for was a return on my money for the RETURNED MERCHANDISE. 8) YOU LOST A GOOD CLIENT AND I WILL BE TELLING ALL MY FRIENDS ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE. read more

Y'all, if you've only ever been fitted at Victoria's Secret or Lane Bryant or even Nordstrom....they do it all wrong! Tina is AH-MAZ-ING! I've NEVER had such amazing customer service, she not only knows how to measure you/size you, she knows what STYLE will shape your breasts into the gorgeousness they are! Yes, the bra may take awhile to get here, but ya know what??? Who cares when you FINALLY have a bra that actually fits! The middle wires of ANY bra I've ever worn has NEVER touched my sternum, never separated, and never lifted me the way these bras do! Not only all of that but Tina stayed late until I was completely satisfied. Her boutique is SO COZY and doesn't feel all cold and uninviting like so many other places! Go support small businesses, get your boobs taken good care of, and have a blast with your bubbly personality of a shop owner extraordinaire!!! read more

Such a great boutique with reasonable prices, and in a convenient location too. Tina has worked very hard to make the boutique a classy environment and a fun shopping experience. She is very professional and will do measurements, and help each person find exactly what they're looking for. Highly recommended! read more

This place is such a hidden treasure! Never in my life have I had more personal, friendly service. Tina is so passionate about making each customer feel wonderful and finding the correct fitting bra. Her bubbly personality and sense of humor made my day! I loved the little touches in the dressing rooms...fans, hair bands, etc. Usually I hate bra shopping but I found myself really enjoying the experience. I will definitely be a returning customer. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

This is the best place in SA to get bra fitted and the most accurate sizing! Every woman needs to come by, because most of us are using the wrong bra size and don't even know it. once Tina puts you in the rite size, you feel the difference!!Tina is amazing and VERY knowledgeable, she finds the perfect styles to best fit and compliment your shape. They even have the famous beautiful polish bras!!!!! Stop by for a quick peek you will not be disappointed, I guarantee you will return. read more

I love this boutique! I brought my two nieces to the shop. Both girls are plus sized, so shopping at Victoria's Secret just doesn't work for them. The personal attention you get from the owner of Aphrodite's Closet is superb!! She's very thoughtful and considerate when helping you choose the correct size for your figure. And the best part of all: very affordable prices!! read more

I've shopped here twice so far and loved it. The owner is very kind and helpful. I love their selection and the AMAZING prices! Such a great variety of corsets, bras, lingerie, underwear, tights/stockings. Honestly after finding this place I'll never go to victorias secret again. read more

Not only is the boutique beautiful, you can find a wide variety of selections. Whether a gift or for yourself....whether inexpensive or a treat. In addition, it is in convenient location. Great addition to the area read more

The boutique has a very warm and inviting atmosphere. My husband and I went in together and he (being such a macho man), stated that he did not feel uncomfortable being in the shop and actually looked around until he found exactly what he wanted to see me in! I recommend this boutique for anyone looking for QUALITY & UNIQUE ITEMS....The owner is a very kind person and I pray for PROSPERITY in all that she does!!! read more

Initially going in i was a little bothered by some lurkers hanging around outside but once i went it my whole attitude changed! I love this store! I was a very dedicated VS customer up until i walked in. I had no idea what my girls needed until i realized how wrong i've been shopping for bra's. Within the first 5 minutes of my bra fitting the ladies were in heaven! Great prices, Great service, Tina is great! and if she doesn't have your size she'll order the bra/lingerie you want and ship it to you. I don't want her to ship anything to me though, i'll be back in the store anyway! I thought i was a 34C, I could not have been more wrong! There is so much more out there than cup sizes A,B,C, & D. I feel betrayed. So glad i found Tina and her wonderful store! read more

This place is such a hidden gem!! Tina is wonderful & her customer service is top notch. Normally bra shopping is awful until I stepped into Aphrodite's Closet! I cannot say enough good things about this place & cannot wait to go back! read more

Aphrodite's Closet is a quaint place to shop for all your lingerie needs! Tina is an expert in her field. She knows how to fit her clients and provides a quality product at a fantastic price. While recently attending an open house at her location, I found her to be personable and all items reasonable especially in today's world. Her willingness to help me find exactly what I needed (something you don't find in a department store) was very much appreciated. Her inventory includes items of all sizes and from comfortable to sexy! This shop has a customer for life. read more
