Such a classy local lingerie store…read more Walking into indulgence I was greeted by a sweet dog with a giant stuffed dino in her mouth. She leaned against my legs while my friend and I pet her. What a better way to start our visit. The store has lots of adorable corsets, nighties and other sexy bedroom apparel. They also carry toys, lube (which almost all are cruelty-free and vegan brands) and other fun stuff. The woman working, who I believe was the owner, was super sweet and helpful. It's a super comfortable store to browse and shop.

The cup shape works extremely well and is very flattering. I'm 53 years old and I do find some of the shopping center bras just don't look or feel nice any more. The price reflects the high quality. These are bras you'll want to hand wash and hang dry. But you'll look and feel great.

I tried on several more that were brought to me but the first one was the best. I'm so amazed at her knowledge of bras, fit, breast shape and her stock. I can't wait to go back and get more! If you are having trouble finding a comfortable bra in large cup sizes, go to custom curves. I'm a 36 J and have hated my uncomfortable bras for years. (I needed to upsize from a 34 to a 36.) Custom curves sold me the lightest, softest , whisper of an underwire bra ever. I think it must have been sewn by fairies or angels. I actually forget I have it on all day long. And the prices are very fair. I've seen bras in my size at another bra specialty shop go as high as $300 with most averaging $150. One bra I purchased at Custom Curves was $98 and one was $50. Amazing!!

I'm so glad I went here: it was the most positive experience I could've had. The owner was so kind and helpful and was also very knowledgeable about corsetry, which I was also looking for. I left the store feeling confident and empowered by finally having bras that fit and made me feel beautiful. I cannot speak highly enough of the store!! Also, I was a D/DD and the owner knew how all the brands fit and even had some C bras in stock for when I needed to go up a band size/down a cup size.

Although this catchy Salt-n-Pepa song wasn't playing during my visit today (Angel by Sarah McLachlan was - for real), I couldn't help but be reminded that sex isn't just a one flavor for all kind of deal and that there are different strokes for different folks (pun intended). I saw simulators for men and women, toys of all different shapes, sizes and girths, as well as magazines and games. Not to mention the extremely well-rounded assortment of flicks for rent or for purchase, including some very specific fetish categories. Why not spice up your sex life by indulging your senses in the plethora of goods available at Excitement Video? And if you're ever feeling plagued by idle time, fret no more, some of the videos available even have riveting plot-lines.

This is a great little shop, bursting at the seams with every type of undergarment imaginable:…read morewacky tights, panty-hose, socks, PJ's, boxers, bra's/underwear, spanx, slippers along with a ton of funky accessories (hair clips, earrings etc.) This store is guaranteed to be packed around this time of year, so get in early if you're hoping to find a pair of bright orange tights to complete your Halloween costume. Every female university student in the city goes through this place in search of a pair of colourful fish net tights in October though, so if you're just wanting to browse, possibly save yourself a few jostled encounters and wait until next week. Great men's selection available too! All of the walls in 'Sock it to Ya' swing open to reveal extra inventory so if you don't see your size, don't assume the shop is too small to possibly have extras.

This place is such a little throwback to old-time downtown shopping. It's teeny tiny, staffed by…read moreusually just one person, and occasionally has a 'Back in ten!' sign up on the window as that person grabs lunch. Add on the fact that all purchases are rung in by hand (debit and credit available - but inventory is managed on paper), and you have a refreshingly low-tech boutique experience. The product ranges from generic to known brands like Calvin Klein, JM and more. While the price tags often look steep ($30 for a pair of underwear), there are often incredible sales that end up leaving you with a bargain on designer finds. Definitely worth checking out!

Well, this was my first time being in the shop to make a purchase. Experience was not what I have…read moreexpected. I walked in, knowing exactly what I wanted as I have checked out the items online. I just needed to figure out if it will fit me. I took the item off the shelf, and the assistant almost immediately came over to me, took the pull over, and said it will be in the changing room for you to fit on!!! I haven't even had the item in my hand for 2 minutes. I went to the changing room, please note there was a 7ft man standing at the door too, and I got undress/ dressed, and got out. when I got out of the fitting room the assistant once again said, Let me take that from you, it will be at the counter ready to pay... huh. I still didn't even have these items 2 minutes in my hands!!! when I got to the counter the cashier said, you can just tap your card!!! I will be honest I didn't enjoy this shopping experience at all, I felt like I was put on the spot, and I didn't even know what to make of this! The items I wanted, I got them, but you don't go to super store, and the cashier or assistant doesn't take the items out of your hands and put them at the counter when you are still busy shopping? no they don't, so why does these assistants do that? total amount was $218 for a 9 min shopping experience, it wasn't about the money, but you want to enjoy the experience of retail therapy, and this was not great. if you don't want customer to see, feel, and roam the store, then you should only have an online store!

The first thing that hit me when I walked in was a wonderful sent of tangerine, at least I think that is what it was, the smell was heaven. This place was packed today, I know it was a combination of beautiful weather, Spring Garden and March Break. There was no sign of recession in this store. The line went from the cash right to the back of the store. I could not believe it. And no one was blinking an eye at the cost, $58.00 top, $130.00 jacket, $90.00 pants. I do think some people will choke on the prices, but I believe you will get great quality. Either that or half of Halifax has lost their minds, because I have never seen so many people in a store, and no sale going on. The styles and colours here are a step above the others you will find. They had some great selections. There was one jacket I thought was a pretty good price, the $130.00 Rain Jacket.

The first thing that struck me was the lovely smell when I stepped into the warm store - it smelled like lavender and that delightful fresh baby scent that all newborns seem to have. I was greeted promptly and took my time perusing the selections. They have a huge array of soft reusable diapers as well as lots of books, both educational for parents-to-be and playful stories for young kiddies. They have lots of wares to make new parents comfortable, like baby slings and cozy blankets. This is a great place to go if you're expecting or you know someone with a bun in the oven. You'll find an educated staff able to support you and offer you assistance with great products designed to help out with the rough and tumble, exciting journey of parenthood.

Absolutely the most warm and welcoming baby store in town…read more It's a must for the cloth-diapering and baby-wearing set, but even parents who don't opt for this lifestyle will find something to love. There's a great, curated selection of toys, books, and gear that is sure to make any parent or child on your list giggle with delight. The staff could not possibly be any more helpful, but to go even further, they host regular workshops on cloth diapering, baby wearing, pregnancy and delivery, breastfeeding, potty training and more. The store is gorgeous within, from the barn-board floor to the blackboard wall, to the rainbow of cloth diapers on display. The front windows are always a wonderland. The store is even accessible if you can't get into Halifax. They have a vibrant web presence at their website, Facebook page and Twitter stream.
