Excellent experience. Do yourself a favor and come in for a bra fitting with Stephanie (owner). I gained some weight the last few years and nothing was fitting right, I was feeling pretty frumpy & unsure of my size so decided to try it rather than do the "buy 50 bras online and sort it out" thing. Stephanie was brilliant - within a minute she had determined by true size (not what I thought even though I had measured it!) and the very first bra she brought out fit perfectly. What a difference. She also showed me how to adjust the bra so everything was properly positioned. Stephanie has a keen eye and intuition for what's working for you and what you like (if you even wrinkle your nose a little that bra is gone and a different style shows up) and brings you out a curated selection. Actually every bra she brought fit and all the styles were cute on me, but she wants you to have something you truly feel good in. The price is comparable to the same brands online - more expensive than big box stores but quality and fit is no comparison. There was a good selection of larger sizes in stock and a good range of styles for different sizes and skin tones. Very positive experience and I do feel more confident with my look. read more

Where to begin. They make you feel like royalty in here. Zero judgement, just fun and they encourage you to try new things. I was not looking for two pieces since I am plus size, but the salesperson found something that was beyond perfect for me and my body. We are now regulars, and get discounts as a result! read more

I dread having to buy new bras because it's hard to find the right fit. Stephanie is fantastic at choosing just the right bras for your size and shape. They carry hard to find sizes and unique brands. The bras are beautiful and feel great. Definitely stop in if you're tired of trying to figure out what to buy on your own and let Stephanie do all the work. read more

This. Place. Is. Bonkers. I've gone lingerie shopping all over the world. I've seen the good, bad, classy, trampy... if there's a garter involved I've seen it. I've never been in a place as great as this. The owner, Stephanie, was supremely attentive and helpful in finding my friend and me the kinds of pieces we each liked. She helped me try on upwards of 20 different pieces, adjusted the fit, advised on whether it was flattering or not, and was marvelously kind and welcoming the whole time. It takes a special kind of stranger to put me enough at ease to help me try on fishnet bodysuits. The shop had a huge range of items, largely on the high end but with a lot of variety in style. There's something for everyone, and the fitting rooms are large and convenient. Go here. Your boobs will thank you. read more

These ladies are legit. I was amazed to find such fun, flirty, and comfortable pieces in my size. My ladies are worth it, and so are yours! Find yourself in Columbia Heights and soon, and get into the store. If it's not for that special someone in your life...you NEED to do it for yourself! You will never feel more accepted than in this store. Good luck and your own 'ladies' will thank you! read more

I recently decided to go have a bra fitting because I had a sneaking suspicion I was wearing the wrong size bra (spoiler: I was). I have so much difficulty finding bras - when I shop at department stores I spend hours searching and maybe walk away with one or two ill fitting bras. Here, Stephanie measured me in a flash, informed me I was wearing much too big a band, and came back with six very pretty options for me to try on - including a strapless bra - that mostly fit really well! You know how the gore of the bra should lie flat against your sternum? This was the first time in my life that I had a bra that did that. This was the first time in my life that I had a strapless bra that fit me even relatively well. I walked away with four, none of which I would qualify as granny bras which I am usually resigned to wearing given how difficult anything even in the vicinity of my size is. Not only was there a great selection, but the customer service was amazing and not at all pushy. Stephanie was very careful about fitting me just right. I felt that she was evaluating each bra honestly and she also shared info about exactly how a bra should fit so I could evaluate the bras myself. She let me take my time and actually told me to put on my t shirt after every bra I tried so I could see the effect it had. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, and I told her that I was looking for prettier options and that's exactly what she gave me. Also, I arrived before the shop opened and spent some time confusedly ringing the buzzer and calling frantically before Stephanie showed up and I realized I was early. If it was me I would have been irritated but Stephanie was super nice and took me in early for my appointment. I also called later in the evening because I was unsure about the fit and she took time to answer my questions fully. I felt looked after at this store :) The other reason I am so impressed by Le Bustiere is because I had decided to go to multiple places to get fitted, so that I would have multiple opinions. I went to Coup de Foudre, they had nothing, and they advised me to go to Trousseau, all the way in Vienna. I went there, they ALSO had nothing, despite being a much bigger store. Basically I had the best experience at Le Bustiere - in terms of customer service, knowledge, and selection. The only reason I give 4 stars is because it was super pricey and unfortunately their return policy is store credit only. read more

I was SO excited to discover this great, independent lingerie boutique literally down the street from me in Adams Morgan! This shop definitely is not Victoria's Secret or even the lingerie department at Nordstrom- which is a very, very good thing. The selection offered in shop is amazing (think fine, high-end European brands). Lots of very special, unique pieces to outfit your boudoir and a few sexy accessories to boot! The staff is especially helpful and the owner, Stephanie, is so nice. I went in to find something special to wear under my wedding dress and thanks to her expertise, I walked out with a beautiful one piece and something for the honeymoon :). I ended up not needing some cup enhancements I had purchased, and when I went back to exchange them, Stephanie quickly recommended some new pieces she'd just gotten in that she thought would fit my style. Needless to say, they were perfect. After chatting, I found out that Le Bustiere also offers burlesque classes and hosts other events in the fall and spring, and I'm so excited to check back in to see what's going on! I should also mention while the shop definitely stocks special pieces, they also do carry more basic, everyday gear as well. I'll be stopping back in to grab one of their Curvy Kate bras soon! Bottom line: this place has pretty much everything. The selection, the expertise, the customer service- it's all there. I can't recommend Le Bustiere enough! read more

Le Bustiere Boutique is the most fabulous bra store in Washington, DC! Their selection of bras, corsets, hosiery, swimsuits and body accessories is to die for and their friendly staff gives you their undivided attention. In addition to everything wonderful in their store, they have added post-surgical garments including mastectomy bras and breast prosthetics. They also have a great bra for right out of surgery for women who have had a breast reduction, breast implants, lumpectomy or mastectomy. The store itself is beautiful and the shopping experience is luxurious. Don't let the money signs scare you away. They have some really high end pieces but they also have items affordable for everyone. Check it out, you won't be disappointed! read more

An absolutely amazing place to get your everyday sexy on or get something for a special occasion!! The staff is absolutely amazing and helpful with everything you need! Be it for a boudoir photoshoot or something to feel everyday sexy this is the place for you!! Plus their Instagram is to die for!! read more

I had a really amazing experience in the store. I went in planning to buy undergarments for my wedding dress and came out with lots of confidence and even more excitement about my wedding. Stephanie was incredible. She made me feel very comfortable being nearly nude and she made an effort to pick items based on my personal style. I look forward to my next trip to the store! Also, I live in Silver Spring and needed to order an item. Stephanie offered to drop it off at my apartment building, so I didn't have to trudge down to Adams Morgan to pick it up. That is service! Again, hats off to Stephanie. She takes customer satisfaction to the next level! Now, here's the bummer. The reason I removed one star is the lack of price matching. I bought one piece at full price in the store. I looked on the designers' website later that afternoon and noticed it was half off. I'm still happy with my purchase, but would be happier if I saved the $100 discount offered online. Word to the wise: do a quick google shopping search for any items you are interested in purchasing. read more

Love this place! Don't be shy here. You'll be escorted into your fitting room where a kind woman will measure you and look at your boobies to make sure the bra fits perfectly. Also available are some personal toys, swimsuits, and items you might only buy for a bachelorette party. The strapless bra I bought here has been fantastic. Fits perfectly and never slides down. read more

The first impression of staff are the most important of all kinds of business. We are honored to met the owner store, so kind and got this feeling that we've known for years! Keep it up Stephanie! Look forward to meet you again! read more

What an incredible experience! I came in a little nervous, not knowing what to expect and looking for something for my wedding. I was immediately put at ease - Stephanie could not have been nicer or more knowledgeable. I found my ACTUAL bra size, learned undergarments can be comfortable and beautiful, and I left feeling more confident and excited for my wedding! Every woman should experience an appointment here- super empowering. And what a beautiful selection in so many sizes! Could not recommend this shop highly enough. read more

This is the best lingerie boutique in Washington DC hands down. It has the most delightful lingerie--perfect for a boudoir shoot, bridal event or parties, as well as everyday wear. The owner has amazing attention to detail and fantastic taste. There is something for everyone--every type of person and every shape. Their babydolls and lace items leave you speechless. The boutique really has an amazing variety (colors, materials, styles) of bras, corsets, garters and nylons. I've gotten a lot of compliments from every item I bought at the store The owner and saleswomen are just delightful--super friendly and knowledgable! read more

Fantastic quality items for my photography clients. Great customer service and expert fitting for women of all shapes and sizes. Simply exquisite! read more

I usually don't do this - but I have to give a big shout out to LBB and the uber professional experience I had thanks to the lovely proprietor, Stephanie. If you are on the fence about whether or not to visit this little gem in Adams Morgan, do not hesitate a moment longer! You will not regret it. This hands down beats any experience I've had at Victoria's Secret. Stephanie is lovely and friendly and helpful beyond measure; she made what could have been an awkward experience feel like I was hanging out with a girlfriend. The prices are to be expected for an upscale boutique (although I know that I paid almost double what I should have for the thigh high hosiery - but since I was in a jam, I went with it). Regarding the actual selection of lingerie - as I said before - hands down...it. is. awesome! 5 stars! This is one of D.C.'s wonderful little secrets... read more

This store by far has the best selection I've seen in DC. I've been searching for lingerie stores, w/ an interest of teddies, one pieces, bodysuits. Surprisingly a lot of lingerie stores didn't have too much of a selection and only had a broad selection in bras and panties. This boutique, on the other hand, had plenty to choose from. I was so excited. And Sarah was very nice. She showed me a lot to choose from and showed me the selections of what I was looking for instead of letting me do it on my own. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place or the owner Stephanie! She made you feel comfortable (for someone who is a tad reserved with this stuff) and she was encouraging and helpful- not pushy at all. She clearly loves what she does and is good at it. I learned so much about what works for me and my body type. It felt like shopping with a good friend. Relaxed, easy and fun. And the complimentary wine helped! read more

On a very cold valentines day (yes this review is long overdue) i made the trek out to adams morgan just to experience this nice little lingerie boutique. and i was honestly getting tired of seeing my vicky secrects merch and thought it was time for a change. the set up is adorable and not intimidating at all if you are someone who does not like to shop for lingerie. They have everything you would need from corsets to accessories. i dove right in and the shop owner, stephanie, was so eager to help me. She even checked in on me after each outfit change since i was looking for a 2nd opinion which i normally do not care for when shopping but hey i'm a young woman who knows what she likes and i really like Le Bustiere Boutique. Take your best friends or that special someone and have a good time exploring a great selection of lingerie. read more

Finally, a lingerie boutique that caters to women with curves and those beyond a DD! I can not rave enough about this neighborhood small business! The atmosphere is elegant, well-arranged, and inviting. Stephanie is incredibly pleasant and knowledgeable. She is the epitome of a customer-oriented owner, which unfortunately, is a rarity in our fair city. She works with customers to ensure they are comfortable throughout the whole shopping experience--from fitting to purchase. The selection is wide, and luckily, so is the price range. I recently attended a Yelp Girls Night Out event and left with the perfect sexy little number right in time for Valentine's Day. Ladies, if you are looking for an ensemble that will get your partner's heart racing, skip the mall chain store and head to Columbia Heights! read more

Great lingerie store I am pretty busty and love to wear pretty things, but they also need to do the job. This store is a perfect blend of pretty bras with panties to match. Also the sleepwear and playwear are sooo nice. I spent over an hour there, the ladies are very nice and helpful. Stacie and Marcia are great. If you want to feel great about yourself stop in. read more

I walked by almost everyday, but never stopped in before. I loved everything about this place-it was not only unpretentious, but very welcoming (with great decor). The people were fabulous and I loved their selection. The ladies were incredibly helpful and very patient with me- I left the store feeling a million times better than I did when I walked in. I would definitely go back. read more

In a word, "fantastic!" Stephanie, was amazing. First to start, I love lingerie and after searching Victorias' Secret and finding nothing I liked, or even wanted, I decided to look at smaller, independent lingerie stores in DC. A quick "google" search and I found "Le Bustiere Boutique" and after meeting Stephanie, I purchased my first piece of high-end lingerie in the US. The entire experience was amazing. Why amazing? Because you truly get an experience. From the moment you enter the shop you are greeted and treated with serious customer service (something lacking today) and education (about the fit of the bras) and Stephanie's eye for detail. Her detail orientated nature and serious love for lingerie resulted in some of the most comfortable, sexy, and elegant lingerie selections I've seen outside of Paris. I purchased a bra and panty set that I love. I feel amazing when I put them on and my breast look amazing in them. Isn't that what every woman wants? If so you're going to find it in this store. There literally seems like there's something for every woman there. Some may find the shop a bit pricey, but understand that you are investing in yourself and the look and quality are worth it. In fact, I'm returning later this week for another set and bringing my more voluptuous friend in for a custom fitting and gifting her with a set of lingerie as well. Happy shopping read more

I came in to get something special for my wedding night and was delighted to find the perfect thing! The staff were super friendly and very helpful. I genuinely felt that their main concern was to help me find exactly what I was looking for rather than to push me to something just to boost their sales. I felt very comfortable throughout the shopping experience, felt like a valued long-time customer although my first time there, and left the store marveling at what a nice experience I had. Not to mention their products are classy. Would come back. read more

Amazing experience! From the moment you walk in the door you'll feel comfortable, well taken care of, and have fun. Let's be real ladies, bra fittings don't make anyone comfortable but Stacy defied expectations. She's easy to talk to, reads a woman's body / taste and makes great recommendations (without making you feel like she's trying to make a sale). Additionally, their lingerie is beautiful! I will be recommending this place to all my girlfriends. Thank you!! read more

Cool place. Stephanie picked outfits I would not have chosen and they were all fantastic. Colors I don't usually wear but should. Loved the whole experience. Bought special items I'm excited to wear. read more

Absolutely loved my experience here! I'm super shy, and was so nervous to be getting fitted. Both the ladies were so sweet and made me so comfortable : ) bras are comfortable, and sexy. They carry so many different sizes and styles! You won't be disappointed! read more

Great new store in Adams Morgan! Just open about two months, the selection is small but completely unique and comfy! The staff is friendly and approachable and size you to make sure you are wearing the right size! Turns out I have been wearing the wrong bra size for years and as soon as I was in the correct size it felt amazing. They will help you out and if they don't have your size they will order it. They also ship! Great for the upcoming holidays! read more

Love this place. Stephanie is fabulous, and thanks to her I'm wearing a bra that actually fits me for the first time in my life. There's no pressure, just a lot of attention and knowledge. I won't go anywhere else. read more

I can't say enough nice things about Stephanie and Jehan. They were so helpful to me and both my teenage girls. I was hard to fit and they would not give up till they found the right bras for me. So kind and made us feel so comfortable. Won't ever shop anywhere else again! read more

Amazing! They ladies here were not only personable but knowledgeable. They made me feel comfortable and had me leave feeling sexy and educated! The selection was great. Prices were average for a good bra. I loved that they offered a unique selection of bras.This is now my local bra shop! If you're in the area please go! read more

I went in twice to buy items for bachelorette parties and I had a nice experience. The lingerie ranges from very expensive to regular expensive. I appreciated that the salesperson did not try to sell me the most expensive item in the shop; she actually suggested something that was reasonably priced! I found a few pieces that I really loved--much more interesting that Victoria's Secret. I also liked that unlike VS, you can find bras that are not ridiculously padded. I docked a star because their packaging needs work. If I'm going to drop $100 on something that weighs less than an ounce, I want it to come in something that looks fancy. read more

I visited the shop on a brief weekend trip to D.C. The bra I wore into the store had lost all its elasticity and the lace was ripping. Stephanie was nonjudgmental and helped me find two well-constructed, supportive, beautiful, everyday bras. Even though I live in Philly, I think I'll go out of my way to visit again in the future! read more

SO WORTH IT. I've never been this comfortable in a bra before in my life. The owner is passionate about bras & lingerie & proper fit & feel. She spent like 2 hours with me fitting & getting the correct bras for my lifestyle. I'll never EVER wear a Victoria Secrets or department store bra again! read more

Found this place on a fluke search for a gift for a bridal shower and was so pleased to visit it in person. I really want to give it 5 stars and probably will once I shop for myself. It was exactly what I was looking for beautiful selection of bras, panties, corsets and lingerie - and not VS. They also have great swimwear which is what my friend opted for for her honeymoon when I brought her in today. The fitting area is lovely, intimate and comfortable. I will definitely go back for myself soon. Stephanie is amazing, pleasant, and super helpful. The last star I'm saving for if/when they allow online shopping. But for the personalized experience they provide I get why it hasn't expanded that way yet. I have a very good girlfriend for whom I'd love to get something but she's out of state and I fear getting the wrong size. Lingerie is not really something you want to return. As for the ambiance, the shop is comfortable, well stocked and all around impressive. If you are in the Adams Morgan area do yourself a favor, stop in, say hi to Stephanie, and get something to light up your boudoir. Thank me later. Oh and they have a few things for the men, I didn't get to check those out yet though. read more

I cannon express what an incredible experience I had at Le Bustiere. I went in pretty certain that I was wearing the correct size bra, but it was so off and it was amazing to actually wear a comfortable one. The staff was knowledgable, professional, and just overall wonderful! The only downfall is the price of the bras, but you get what you pay for in that the quality makes these bras worth it! read more

Love this store! Outrageously interesting selection and knowledgeable staff. It's light and airy and sexy and fun. Two thumbs way up. Admo got lucky getting this store, it feels like a Georgetown boutique but more reasonable and chill. read more

The rave reviews here are well deserved. I am constantly having talks with girlfriends about how annoying it is when your straps fall and the cups are too small etc etc and we all just flail our hands and live under the tyranny of Victoria's Secret. This is a much better option. The bras are well worth the cost (prices are actually lower than some online stores like True&Co) and the advice is phenomenal. Stephanie, the owner, and Marsha, her assistant, were incredibly nice, helpful, and knew their stuff. I'd been wearing the wrong size bra my whole life and they really set me straight, helping me find bras that were right for my size and style. (I walked in a C cup and left in an F cup - I literally tossed the bra I wore into the store in the trash and walked out in a new purchase. A properly sized bra can really just change your whole day.) Hands down the best customer service I've experienced at any establishment in DC. Apparently they sometimes have champagne so I'll be back for that and am definitely bringing friends. read more

I love this spot!!!! I was a little unsure but a friend told me to check it out while visiting the area. I needed just that one special thing before returning home and Stephanie was amazing!! She took the time to understand my needs and I have to admit I was impressed with the actual designs of what they had to offer. No chain store options there! This was not a "we a have the same Vicky's outfit" experience. I love what I've purchased and can't wait to go back to see what else they do. To be a newer shop, I'm impressed!! read more

This is a fabulous lingerie boutique with professional bra fittings! I was able to purchase a set from Agent Provocateur and I am loving the fit and comfort in smaller sizes. Marcha helped me out and she also picked out some swimwear pieces for me as well. Thank you so much! I will definitely be back read more
