Annika was so wonderful and helpful! I often have trouble finding things that fit correctly and she patiently helped me find things that worked. Will definitely be returning! read more

The pieces I have purchased from Le Bustiere have stood the test of time, and are among the most unique in my closet. They offer a spectacularly curated and frequently updated selection of some of the best labels, particularly the Adams Morgan location. I hadn't been back since 2022--far too long. During this most recent visit last week I was refitted and tried on at least a dozen bras, lingerie, and corsets. Ursula and Ashley were amazing--helpful, patient, and genuine hype girls (over the course of 2+ hours of indecision). They took turns bringing things based on what I picked out, my updated size, and whatever else caught their expert eye, and helped me get in and out of the corsets as needed. We even talked must-have skincare at one point! read more

I had a great experience. Ursula took care of me from start to finish - she fitted me, brought several options and helped adjust each item to fit my figure. I gave her a price limit and she came back with other items that I really love. I didn't feel pressured to buy the real expensive items. Thank you! read more

Annika is a miracle worker- she quickly analyzed my size and shape and then brought a few bras to test out - I was wearing the wrong bra size by quite a bit. She helped find bras that worked for my shape and had a deep understanding of the bra construction (how each panel and underwire support fit). She helped me adjust the bras appropriately and walked through the steps of adjusting the bra once on for smoothness and the best fit. The bras were also super cute and the size range was good. I have a small band and large cup and it seemed like she had at least 10 that she had me check out and try on. She was also responsive to my questions and other asks like matching underwear, colors, strap types, etc. in the fitting room, they have a variety of tops you can try on with the bras to check out how they work with different outfits. Additionally, the store is very inclusive and welcoming to women in general- there were a variety of sizes, women were all treated equally and with a lot of care, men were not back in the fitting area, there was no discomfort/awkwardness as they were helping with adjustments (and parts were pretty hands on). read more

I genuinely have never had such a good time shopping for bras. Annika was so wonderful and helpful and found me bras that fit better than any bra has literally ever fit me. There was zero pressure to buy anything and when something wasn't perfect, she immediately swapped it out for other options that were and didn't settle for less than a perfect fit. I ended up buying three bras and now refuse to wear anything else, so I will definitely be going back. Highly recommend getting a fitting with Annika! read more

Noelle helped me find the perfect fitting bras. Cannot recommend le bustiere enough!!

I had the pleasure of working with Ursula at the Adams Morgan location to get my bra size re-fitted and she was incredible. Not only did she pull a great selection of options for me to try on and find me two excellent new bras (including - and this was probably the highlight for me - a bralette in my size, which I have never been able to wear before because of my size), she was such a hype woman when it came to discussing how things looked on me. I not only walked out of the store with two new bras, but a huge boost of confidence, all thanks to Ursula. I was already a devotee of the store because it's one of the few places in DC that carries things in my size, but now I'm even more committed to continuing to come back if it means I can work with Ursula again. read more

Excellent service and selection. Ursula at the Adams Morgan location couldn't have been kinder or more patient. She sized me up quickly and brought at least a dozen things to try, including a t-shirt to check the fit. I never felt rushed or pressured - only that she wanted me to leave happy and well-supported. read more

The service and selection are amazing! Rebecca helped my sister find new functional bras in an appropriate size. She was gracious, super helpful and bubbly. It was a delight to work with such a talented young woman who really knew her way around undergarments! My sister walked away with beautiful bras that make her look and feel her very best. On a whim I tried some lingerie and walked away with something unexpectedly spectacular. Two thumbs up. If you are in the Washington Metro area it is worth a trip. You will absolutely find what you need (and then some!) Don't be alarmed by the neighborhood. You'll find the store on the second floor and it is a delight! Shop here! It's awesome! read more

I had an amazing experience getting measured and shopping with Alexandra at Le Bustiere in Bethesda. Alexandra was amazing -- she was so kind and professional and she went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and satisfied w/ my experience. She explained bra washing maintenance, what my French sizing meant, and answered all my questions. I left with two wonderful pieces. Was so nervous to be sized after so long, but left feeling confident and happy!! Big thank you to Le Bustiere team & Alexandra. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Le Bustiere. I've had some fluctuations in weight over the past few years, but haven't had a proper bra fitting in at least 10 years smh I was having issues with fit lately and decided to look into getting a fitting while I was in the DC area. I found them on Google and was able to make an appointment. Darian assisted me and she did a wonderful job of finding bras that fit in a variety of styles and colors. I was totally surprised to find out my real size. I highly recommend -- I was able to purchase several and they fit wonderfully. As my size is not a regular, off the rack size, I'm sure I'll be back. read more

Always well worth the visit. Helpful staff, beautiful merchandise. Overall a great experience

This is the most fun I've ever had shopping for bras. I had a bra that I've been wearing for 4+ years break recently and I knew that was a sign that I needed to reinvigorate my bra-drobe. The last time I got fitted was at a VS in probably like 2019 and I remember leaving there feeling like it was a militaristic experience and ashamed when my size was bigger than a lot of what they carried. This time, I remembered going to a Yelp event at Le Bustiere when I moved to DC the first time back in 2016 or so and decided that since they're just down the street from me, I would give them a try. I signed up for a profiting appointment online and came in at my appointment time and was greeted really warmly by everyone inside. The person who helped me out, Ashley, was super warm and friendly, and made the experience really fun and enjoyable. We laughed and joked the whole time and I could tell she was really invested in trying to find bras that I really liked and not just trying to sell me stuff. If I'm being completely honest, I went into the appt fully intending to just get fitted with the proper size, pay the $25 fee, and buy something cheap online, but the entire experience really changed my mind on what bras can be and so I treated myself to some really comfortable and cute ones here instead. It definitely was pricier than what I intended to spend, but I really feel like the quality was worth it. It feels like an investment into myself for the long term. Highly recommend Le Bustiere, especially if you're nervous, self conscious, or if you've never been fitted before because they are the best. read more

I went into this experience with really high hopes but was left feeling uncomfortable. Hannah was extremely short with our group, including during check out. She made us feel like an inconvenience, was acting rude the whole time, & refused to correct improper sizing. The only silver lining of the visit was Ashley who stepped in to help and explained everything in detail with kindness. She was knowledgeable and took the time to engage with us. Would not recommend this experience specifically with Hannah. read more

I moved out of DC a few years ago but I come back once a year for work and I always come in to get a fitting and a bra or two from Le Bustiere. They're the only place I will buy bras from, highly recommend, especially if you are larger chested. read more

Stephanie is an expert and made me feel so comfortable. "The girls" have never been so happy. she took care of my 76 year old mama too. Highly recommend! read more

Updated September: Added one star. I received a phone call less than 10 minutes after posting this review from the store. I was told they had been notified by their social media manager of my reviews and to call them back ASAP. 3-4 missed phone calls later during a work out, I called the store back. Very apologetic. Owner wanted to speak to me when she came back in the store later that week. Finally connected with the owner who is as also very apologetic. Owner told me they don't have someone monitoring social media so my email and FB message were missed. Offered for me to return the item if it hadn't been worn (they have a final purchase policy regardless of whether it's NWT). Offered to send me a check to cover the difference for the overcharge, which they did but it was under the "agreement" I'd change my review. Props for trying to make the situation right with an unhappy customer (which I acknowledge they didn't have to do) but leaves sour taste that it was only because I'd update this. Store price was $345, approximately $50 more than you can get from Bloomingdales full price- but Bloomingdales goes on sale! Bottom line is they are nice people and well intentioned but would not recommend this business. read more

See all

Amazing place. I have been wearing the wrong sized bra (both band and cup) for years and stopped wearing form fitting clothing for fear someone would see the buckled band/sagging fabric under my clothes. The wonderful woman who helped me stayed with me the entire time, patiently answered by questions of "are you sure this is right" and "is it supposed to be this tight" (yes! yes it is), and helped me find the perfect bra. Well, 4 perfect bras- 2 t-shirt basics, 1 strapless, 1 kinda 'sexy' push up. It's expensive (my total bill including some panties was $475), but SO worth it. I'll be back again for more "fun" stuff (especially beautiful but functional pajamas I saw) in the future. One note- my husband came with me since we were on our way to somewhere else and I probably wouldn't do that again. Everyone was VERY nice to him, but this isn't really a browsing store (I stayed in the back and stuff was brought to me), and he felt a little in the way. I am excited that my sizing is under my profile so he can go back and shop for me if he likes, something I heard at least two other people do while I was there. A+ read more

I had such a fantastic experience here and learned so much! I worked with Rebecca and she was super kind and was able to pick out styles for me that I loved. I am usually just overwhelmed with all the options. I texted my husband 'I've never felt more supported in my life' after trying on one bra picked out by Rebecca. I was shocked at my actual bra size I've been denying myself amazing support because I've never been properly fitted! This place is amazing! Thank you! read more

Well-organized shop and convenient location - I have unknowingly walked past them many times because they're on the second floor. It's clear that the employees care a lot about their work/business. I was helped by Alexandra, who was brilliant. I had a bra-fitting scheduled right at opening and was greeted/helped right away. She was patient, knowledgeable, and kindly answered my many questions. I only planned on getting a fitting for $25, but the quality of the service + the quality of the bras they had in stock convinced me to purchase one as well. Will definitely return to gradually replace the bras I currently own. 10/10 experience - very happy to have them in the neighborhood! read more

As someone with a small rib cage and larger cup size, this boutique was a revelation. They gave me a proper fitting and introduced me to the wonderful world of European sized lingerie (apparently there are other chesty but trim women in Europe, who knew? In America, boobs stop at DDD size according to bra makers). I've recommended them to every woman I know who has a generous bustline. read more

I had a great fitting and experience shopping at Le Bustiere Boutique. Finding lingerie that fits well, is both beautiful and comfortable is not easy. I had several choices in my size and spent less than anticipated for such quality and design. read more

Le Bustiere has been there to give me a lift through all my life changes ...my first proper bra fitting, pregnancy, post pregnancy...EVERYTHING. I'm not a fussy person but Stephanie and her team has really shown me the importance of finding the fun in underpinnings. This is a woman that knows her stuff. She can size me up to perfection with just one look. Besides the fabulous customer experience, Le Bustiere will introduce you to brands that you may not have heard of before. I'm a forever fan of Curvy Kate, a UK based brand thanks to Le Bustiere. Swimwear used to stress me out but alas, no more! They even convinced me to rock a bikini while I was seven months pregnant and I am so glad that I did. This is a true neighborhood gem! PS: No maternity wear here but you can bring their bras to a seamstress for easy conversion. I have found this to be more useful, stylish and comfortable than the selection at traditional stores. read more

My friend recommended that I stop by the shop for a bra fitting (since I hadn't purchased a new bra since 2015). From the moment I walked through the door, I was treated with respect and kindness. My sales associate, Asia, taught me all about bra sizes, fit, and how to be comfortable in bras. The owner, Stephanie, was equally as attentive, making sure that I didn't leave with anything that didn't fit properly. I highly recommend stopping by for a PROPER bra fitting! read more

very professional, excellent fitting, nice to deal with. A bit expensive. I highly recommend them. Limited inventory.I have to meet the required eighty-five characters. Hope this is enough. read more

I finally did what I had been putting off. I had a fitting for my true bra size. When Ashley and Alexander helped me discover it; I was almost in tears. I'd lost weight and had a lumpectomy and been wearing the wrong size bra which made me look awful. With the right size and right bra on; I felt like I was being hugged. I knew I couldn't walk out of there without that bra. read more

Great service!! I always love coming here.They work with you one on one to find the right fit for you.

I AM A FAN. My friend and I came here after brunch one day. We barely made it in as they were closing soon. The owner is black which is why we decided to come here. The owner is Jamaican and very witty. There were a lot of sexy items in this store. However, not a lot of items for IN STOCK the curvy girls. I got measured and had no idea I was wear the wrong size bra. In fact I was several cups larger than what I had been wearing. The owner got me right and taught us how we are SUPPOSED to wear our bras. The prices are on the high side but you pay for quality. I will be back. read more

I feel like I hit the honeymoon jackpot! An expert and personalized experience. They measure you, encourage you, recommend styles for you, it's FULL service. I went in there feeing like two dollars and I left feeling like a million bucks. I got EVERYTHING I needed to make my honeymoon special. A classy experience! read more

This shop is a gem! My friend and I were both impressed by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. Thank you, Ashley! I don't think I will ever go anywhere else! read more

From the moment of stepping into the boutique to leaving, it was a wonderful experience. Stefanie was very knowledgeable and kind and knew exactly what I needed. I walked in (incorrectly) wearing a 34B and walked out with my correct size of 30D. This was a much more helpful experience than going somewhere like Victoria Secret. Thank you, Stefanie and Frankie! read more

I needed some new lingerie and had a friend suggest this shop to me. I set up an appointment with Stephanie for mid-day Sunday. Stephanie was fantastic - warm, friendly, and made wonderful suggestions for me after measuring me and taking the time to better understand what I was looking for. She definitely took me slightly out of my comfort zone but that was much appreciated, as she chose pieces for me to try on that I never would have chosen for myself. Overall a wonderful experience shopping with Le Bustiere - I felt taken care of from start to finish! read more

Once you've been here, you'll never step foot in a department store again. Even other boutiques that carry my size don't typically offer the styles I'm looking for. Knowledgeable staff and fantastic selection, even at a 34g! read more

I had a wonderful experience here finding a bathing suit for my upcoming trip to Miami. Like many other women, I hate my body, so I wasn't looking forward to swimsuit shopping in the slightest. The stylist who helped me (wish I could remember her name) totally killed it though. She gave me a glass of prosecco then found me a suit that flatters my body, and in the meantime gave me my first proper bra fitting. I walked away with a brand new bra that FITS! and doesn't dig into my skin or cause me physical agony! It was totally an upsell move, but I'm not even mad about it. She also picked out a silky black and white striped cover-up for me that I adored - she was able to pick up on my style preferences really quickly and knew that I'd love it. Again, upsell, but I wasn't mad - that coverup is to die for. My fiancé was not at all pleased with the grand total of $750, but I definitely plan to be back, probably for more bras and undoubtedly for wedding night lingerie. read more

Run, do not walk, to Le Bustiere! I needed a new strapless bra for a holiday party the next day. Walked on over to Stephanie's place- it is a small but mighty shop in AdMo. She immediately made me feel comfortable, measured me, and found the perfect bra in the right size. The best thing about my new bra is that it looks good on me and is COMFORTABLE. Nothing beats having a bra the correct size. If you are tired of Victoria's Secret/ Savage X Fenty & their whack sizing, I highly recommend checking it out! read more

I bought a groupon like a million years ago for this place and then kept forgetting to use it, despite the fact that Le Bustiere is walking distance from my house. Then, Yelp did a couple of events and partnered with them, and I started following them on Instagram. It was the Insta-marketing that pushed me to getting my butt in the store as they were advertising some curvy girl pieces. The atmosphere is totally relaxing and comfortable. My boyfriend came with me and it was nice for him, too. There are comfy places to sit and wait and it's not like the creepy pink-ness of the ubiquitous everyday store or the grungy/scaryness of other places to procure lingerie. The staff were INCREDIBLE. The woman who helped me did a bra fitting, but also went above and beyond in listening to my concerns/wants/needs and brought me at least 15 different styles and sizes to try on to find the right fit. I walked away with something really fun and sexy for Valentine's Day and a gorgeous everyday bra that I thought I only liked, but the more I wear it the more I realize I love it and just how well it fits me (and how poorly my old bras probably fit me!) Nothing I bought broke the bank and I truly couldn't be happier! read more

Go ASAP!! I went in wearing the wrong size bra and left with bras that were a perfect fit! I immediately felt the difference during my fiting. Alexandra and Stephanie were really friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and non judgmental. I will highly recommend this place even if you're just going for a fitting. read more

This lady knows exactly what's she's doing. Have gone twice and will be going again. My boobs never looked so good and I've never had such well fitting bras! Even more important, she isn't pushy at all and if you have an issue with how a bra feels, if it just isn't quite right even though it fits, she listens and brings literally what you vaguely gesticulated to needing. Seriously, if you hate bras, love bras, hate how your boobs look, love how your boobs look, you'll leave happy. Tata for now! read more

My wife went here last weekend for her first ever bra fitting. The person working with her made her feel extremely comfortable and was very professional. She was patient and had her try on all of the bra styles to ensure she found the ones she liked best. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend! read more

Honestly, quit reading the reviews and drive to see Stephanie now! The experience at her store is life changing. I have all my life worn a 32DDD, and Stephanie blurted my TRUE size out before even taking a second look at me. 30 G!!! At first, I thought there was no way, but she fitted me in amazing bras with support and comfort like I have never felt before. My whole wardrobe fits so differently now, I have a new found love for my body and have so much more confidence. Stephanie you are AMAZING!!! Thank you so much you have forever changed my life... And she has impeccable taste. These bras have beautiful detailing. AND BONUS! They also carry swim suits! YAS! read more
