There's good reason a bra fitting at Rigby and Peller is oft cited as one of the top 100 "musts" in…read moreLondon - and it has nothing to do with the fact that they're the official "corsetiere" to the Queen ('cause frankly, the thought of that makes me shudder). No, it's because this is a lavish experience that will leave you feeling utterly spoiled... and wondering why you didn't do it sooner. Put out of your mind all thoughts of any other uncomfortable and awkward (and wrong!) bra-fitting you've ever been through before... R&P is on a whole other royal level of its own. First off, the atmosphere is classy, but comfortable. You can make an appointment for a fitting, but the first time I went there a couple of months ago, I just walked in. I have a weak spot for underthings, and after hearing so much about how amazing the service was from one of my friends, and how much she was in love with her recent purchase - I had to try it. Even though a bra fitting is the sort of thing that can make you feel pretty darn vulnerable, there wasn't any production involved with the process, it was very relaxed and my fitter totally put me at ease... by far the most amazing thing was that all she had to do was look at me! No tape measure, or feeling me up with some other contraption... just a careful look before announcing, "You're a...." And she was spot-on - they're like bra-fitting psychics! Rigby and Peller carry their own brand as well as some other nice lines like La Perla and Felina. The prices here really aren't more than what you would pay for any nice name-brand of lingerie... and the fact that the fitting is complimentary makes shopping here an unbelievable deal; you feel properly pampered in this store, attended to like an illustrious woman... almost as if you were a princess - or, well, even a Queen.

Simply a must if you're a woman who hasn't had a proper bra fitting. After years or…read moresecond-guessing, coming to Rigby & Peller was a complete and utter game-changer for me, my breasts, posture, and self-assurance. Women, we have enough to worry about, right? Don't you hate it when you're working and concentrating on something, and your bra strap won't stay put? Or your bra is riding up too high and pinching? The sad reality is that we, as women, learn to put up with that crap, and just "get on with it." But a fitting at Rigby & Peller, no matter what job or occasion you have, will set you up with a proper foundation. In return, you'll feel that a subtle sense of "oomph" in your femininity and self-care. Not to mention, your tits will look GREAT. The fitting process is simple, but you will need to be comfortable enough to be bare-breasted in front of the patient bra fitting specialist. Yes, she's a stranger, but it's her job to fit you. Never mind this awkward moment, because it's then time to try on the various bras she'll bring to you, and that's fun! Separate the pile from those that you like and those that she can return to the stockroom. I found my perfect bra, and gave my bra fitting specialist the one I walked in with to toss out...which she held up with one finger and rapidly disposed of in the nearest trash can. Goodbye crappy, ill-fitting, worn-out bra! Hello perfectly-supported, amazing-looking breasts and confidence! Instead of viewing my bra with disinterest or displeasure, I now have a new b(r)est friend.

Some people might need a warm beverage to relax them when confronted with the plethora of pleasure giving devices presented in this sexy grotto, I am not one of them, although I have to say, what a lovely touch. What I love about Sh is that they cater for girls and understand that most of us don't want to be confronted by a huge, black wobbly dildo when entering a store. Not to say that you cant buy one, or one covered in spikes or made out of glass or attached to a harness here (you get the picture) but they are tastefully presented and surrounded by feathers, bell adorned nipple tassles and rhinestone handcuffs amongst other wonderful inventions. The staff are pleasant, very knowledgeable and discreet, my first visit to the store was to buy a vibrator and the sales assistant recommended several, based on personal experience and sent me away very happy indeed with a waterproof 'Jessica' (£22). The variety of toys for men and women here rivals any similar store that I have visited and they also have a good selection of lubricants, literature and underwear.

Agent Provocateur evokes a certain... je ne sais quoi, all on it's own. MI6 spooks aside, you walk into any one of their stores whether it be Paris, Rome or London and you immediately feel like a French underground agent - imagine; black raincoat collar turned up, red beret tilted over left eye and with a sultry look that says, 'I'm out to commit an assassination and mayhem most foul with my new racy lacy garter belt.' It is sheer lust tantalizing you there on a rack. The dim lights - but, never seedy - and it all whispers sexily to your sensual gaze, 'come to me.' And so you do. Brushing your wandering finger tips lightly against the scintillating fabric. Rag Trade Titillation supreme. What men miss out on, eh? And, they say men have all the fun - perhaps, because they only see the end result, where as us women know only too well, anticipation far exceeds that - so, guys, you often miss out on one of life's best diversions by a long shot (no pun intended) as we browse through these rails of frills, touching the divine silk and shear lace of any one of these garments in an awesome lingerie store. It's pure heaven, or at the very least, what heaven should be like if one was to choose that route. What say thou? You can appreciate the temptress in us all when you lavish yourself with one of Agent Provocateur's little Basque numbers. Or choosing garters and suspenders for that jewel heist you'd been planning at Christies - far more exciting than bidding...what? And, in person too. It really beats shopping on-line hands down - that just seems far too detached and remote (again, no pun intended) This is not cheap lingerie, but then again, it is not truly expensive either. It is within most femme fatale's reach. Paris alone is known for the ultimate in French Temptations of the Frilly and Silky Variety for a reason. With it's hand sewn petite creations, perfectly crafted and protectively placed in ornate draws where your eyes can dwell, but your fingers dare not touch or linger - until it's almost yours. I must concede, from that respect, Agent Provocateur is a wee shade under par when you consider the real 'cream de la cream' lying restless in the passionate boudoirs of the French capital city, where the male purveyor's hormonal temperature gauges can approvingly hit the roof. The proof is always in the price and in it's delicate wrapper. And, I guess that is life. In the end, 'You usually get what you pay for.' Or was it as the Judge told Train Robber Ronnie Biggs, 'You pay for what you get?'
