This shop is such a gem. I came in on a recent Saturday looking to upgrade my lingerie wardrobe and…read morewas pleasantly surprised at what I found: an amazing selection of options from my favorite brands, many of them sustainable and made in the USA to boot! Some are quite hard to find in Boston, too, so it's nice to know I have a place to find them right in my backyard. I happened to visit right before Valentine's Day and got to witness the salesperson help three quasi-clueless men select gifts for their significant others. She was helpful without being pushy, and so friendly and approachable. I would not hesitate to recommend Forty Winks to anyone looking for beautiful, well-made lingerie. It's my new favorite stop for underthings and more. Their sale section is also full of amazing finds for very little $$$!

Jessica helped me and my teenager get several bras to see us through the next year. When you're so happy with the bra you wear it out of the store and recycle what you came in with, you know you got the best shopping experience of all. I am a huge proponent of paying more for good quality bras and getting fitted by experts whenever you shop. Shapes change, needs change, ordering the same bra year after year from an online company just isn't the best way to live your life if you've got bigger boobs or you're over 25 and gravity and hormones are getting involved. The selection of bras is extensive despite the small size of this shop- don't be deceived! They also have their own brand - my friend loves their undies- and special handwashing detergent to make your bras last. The changing rooms are private and the staff know their stuff and how to make you feel comfortable showing your chest and torso off so they can check your fit. Highly recommend this store and treating yourself right with good quality, well made bras. You deserve it!

They do take a very healthy cut - 60%, which is on the high end for the industry. I think 50% would be more reasonable. Also, I do wish they would make it a little easier on consigners - they can't always look through your drop-offs at the moment, but then only give you 7 days to pick up what they don't want once they do.

When the BuyWithMe for this came up I had to take advantage of it. I made the appointment (at my convenience which isn't very much convenient for most at 7a on a Saturday morning) and was pleasantly accomodated, even as I tried on a bunch of dresses that needed help with the zipper! Very good selection, as found on website, return was just as easily scheduled and even a credit was kept for the remaining voucher amount. Parking is a pain, but is to be expected in the North End. Overall highly recommend!

Things go fast, so if you like something, don't think on it too long. The reason for the 4 of 5 instead of 5 of 5 stars... Staff is hit or miss... i have had some fantastic ladies help me, but i have also been looked down upon by one lady when i was there who got mad that i was looking at something on a rack (which is not labeled "hold rack" or anything, and looks like all of the others). I pulled something out to look at it and she flipped out and said "THAT IS MY STUFF, LEAVE IT ALONE"... that was rude and soured my taste a bit, but the others i have dealt with are very nice. Wish they had a website we could buy through. I have to go there as my Dad's personal buyer for my mom all the time (they live out of town), and it is a pain. They don't have a website with all of their items online so you must go in.
