It's honestly kind of crazy that in my 33 years of life, I went so long without actually having a bra that fits me properly. The women who work here are incredibly knowledgeable. Both times I've gone in, I was helped by, I believe, Hailey, and she made me feel so welcomed and comfortable right away. What amazed me the most is how quickly she could figure out my correct bra size. She'll take a look at your back, see you in the bra you came in wearing, and then bring you an option she thinks will work. The first time she did that, I was shocked. How would she act know my size without even using a measuring tape? It was like magic. She came back with two bras to try on, and my mind was blown after the first bra she brought fit me like it was made for me!!! I can't explain the feeling you have once you wear a bra that actually fits you. Like you thought you were a bra that fit you until that moment. You're like, "Whoa! This is what it feels like. " It's crazy and out of this world to explain. It's honestly impressive how experienced and skilled they are. They also do such a great job making you feel confident and supported throughout the whole process. It never feels awkward or uncomfortable, which I really appreciated. Another thing I didn't realize before going is that they sell more than just bras. They also have underwear and a really great selection of bathing suits in different styles and colors for all kinds of preferences and body types. I highly recommend making an appointment if you can, because it can get busy, and you might have to wait a bit otherwise. That said, even without an appointment, the wait sometimes isn't very long. I've told my mom and several friends about this place, and every single one of them has come back telling me how impressed they were with the customer service and the overall experience. Yes, the bras can be a little more expensive than what you might find at a typical retail store, but the quality and materials are excellent, and they last a long time. For something you wear every day, it's absolutely worth it.

Absolutely wonderful experience. I've struggled my whole life finding a place that can accurately…read moremeasure me and give me recommendations. You get a personal fitter and they give you tons of recommendations based on what you're looking for. They also don't sugar coat it and give you the hard truth- like needing to embrace underwire . I found some good high impact sports bras and everyday bras that gave me my waist back. Highly recommend this place to anyone with boobs. Prices are reasonable too.

It's like.... I know what I like and I don't need help getting what I need. If I needed help, I would have asked. At check out, she tried pushing us to buy the toy cleaner and when she asked me how I cleaned the toy, I mentioned with mild soap and water (as recommended by manufacturers and also my OBGYN), she started lecturing us (me) loudly and aggressively in front of everyone for using soap and water how it is bad for my urethra and vagina. Bear in mind, I bought the magic wand. It's not going in me. She continued loudly lecturing me about how soap leaves a residue that does not come off even with rinsing, and how the little bit of residue will cause irritation. It was embarrassing for my husband and I. I just wanted to pay and leave but she just kept lecturing us. She only let up when I said that we had the Swiss toy spray. I understand trying to sell us the toy cleaner but what she stated about soap is not true. By that logic, my husband's penis should not go in me because he washed his genitals with mild soap and water. Also, I use menstrual discs and those go in me and I also clean those with mild soap and water (as per manufacturer's guidelines and OBGYN advice). All in all, I'm glad Lovers had the vibrator I like. But the experience shopping there was UNCOMFORTABLE. I want to support a female owned local business, but if I'm gonna experience the same experience I had today, I might just buy from Amazon in the future.

I get a new one at least three times a year.

I said the sign says 50% off and she explained it's up to 50 off. I then asked well which loungewear on this rack is 50 off and she said none. I then looked around the store and there were other signs that were clearly marked 30% off so I said if there is nothing on this rack for 50% off and they're all 30% why doesn't the sign say 30%? She showed me what looked like three pages from corporate telling the associates what to say regarding the prices. My husband did purchase my items, but truly I felt like this company is being VERY dishonest . The bag they place your purchase in says "Everything we do starts with you " I don't agree , I think everything you do starts with you Soma. Just BE HONEST! If it's 30% then say it's 30% and your customers won't leave your store upset.

I came in on a Friday morning to look around for fun after seeing Esme & Elodie's active IG, and walked away with six new pieces of clothing. It was hard to narrow it down to just six! I purchased 2 pairs of jeans, 2 dresses, a blouse and a shawl. Everything is comfortable and complimentary. Emily was so kind-not only did she help me in choosing items to try on, but she also helped give me great styling tips at my request, and take risks with what I tried on. She was honest and friendly in her observations about how each piece looked. I have never felt so confident trying on new clothes and I left feeling beautiful and fierce. I can't come back soon enough for more! This is a boutique I could and do recommend to absolutely everyone! Esme & Elodie also carries jewelry, cards, and some home goods. This is a perfect stop for a wardrobe makeover AND gifts (or goodies for yourself). Their website and IG are great as well.

The person told me I was a different size than I was used to, and when I expressed concern she insisted and I ended up getting the bra.

Can't return it, so now I'm just really disappointed after spending so much money on something. Definitely won't go here again, it's too pricey for me to possibly get another uncomfortable item.

She was completly befuddled as what to do next . She kept telling my bf "I know what you're doing" . Like we were going to steal from the store. Long story short, she was completly incompetent to be a counter girl.

Wow, it could be better decision to maybe choose people who could manage customers and do things right. Definatly an experience and never going back.

I ended up exploring the website and appreciate the selection of accessories and clothes that are available. She has a great variety of distinctive garments, from essential necessities to more bright and bold styles. I wore those linen pants often so after thinking on it for a while I reached out to Patricia to inquire about a second pair in another color. She was quick to find a time that worked for me to come by her store. The boutique is set up in her home and it's so cute! Everything is coordinated and organized, so walking into the space felt comfortable to me. There were so many nice options to choose from that it was hard to stick with my original plan, but everyone deserves to treat themselves on occasion. The prices are reasonable and I appreciate that this was much more of an intimate shopping experience - no waiting in line, and if I had questions, Patricia was right there. I'll definitely go back again!

I highly discourage people from shopping at this store. The customer service is completely awful…read moreand their products are horrible quality. I bought these shoes, have worn them about 5-6 times in the past year and they're already flaking. And it took forever to get these shoes since I was sold one size 10 and once size 11 shoe. The missing shoe of my size was at the NOLA store. It took over a mo th to get to me and they didn't even apologize for the inconvenience and made me drive to Seattle to pick up the shoe. Was willing to forgive and order again. Ordered $500 in shoes and they wanted to charge me $50 for shipping. I constantly emailed them questioning this huge fee with no response. So I took my business elsewhere after a couple of weeks. Then they called me acting like it was a surprise I cancelled the order. If you want any semblance of good customer service and quality products, you're better shopping online at other reputable companies

We walked in, and were greeted by the employee, we went about our usual browsing, and looking around, I had noticed the employee working at the time constantly staring and watching us as we walked around the store, which I felt was normal until another couple came in, which he then immediately came up to us, and said to please stop recording to my girlfriend, we were both shocked and confused and said "what?" because she wasn't recording, and after she told him she wasn't recording he proceeded to insist that we were and that he saw us recording when we came in, and after I told him multiple times that I think it's a misunderstanding and that we were not recording he continued to try and prove that we were stating random stuff about phones, even after showing him her photos showing we hadn't recorded, instead of accepting the whole situation as a misunderstanding he constantly insisted that she was recording, my main issue with this is how the whole situation could have been avoided if the employee would have understood it was a misunderstanding when we had originally told him she wasn't recording. Employee was white guy with a pattern tattoo on his forearm with a beard, I'm just really disappointed because we ended up just walking out of the store due to frustration of his persistence on us recording. Also I completely understood why he was asking to stop due to more customers coming in, it's just that we weren't!!
