7 Best Places to Shop in USA

For the fanciest knickers in downtown Portland and one of the best bra fittings around, head to Aristelle. It's where to find elegant undergarments and lingerie, as well as naughty little numbers that would make Bettie Page blush.

This chic New York–based boutique was started by two women who believed that sexy, pretty lingerie should be everyday wear—and comfortable, too. The stock consists of well-known brands like Cosabella and Natori, as well as Journelle's own line. Staff are approachable and helpful. There are now a handful of Journelle stores around the city, including in SoHo and on the Upper East Side.

This could be called “the perfect fit shop,” since old-fashioned personal attention and experience ensure just that, for bras, bathing suits, lingerie, shapewear, loungewear, and sleepwear. Now operated by the fourth generation of the founder (the original store opened in 1888), it stocks basic and luxury lingerie brands. There’s also a selection of mastectomy undergarments. Staff members are trained in the art of professional bra fitting.

The ladies here are focused on ridding the world of sagging bra straps and overflowing cups. With a sharp eye for measurement, the staff specialize in finding the right fit, whether it's something for work or for a more romantic occasion. The store also carries sleepwear and gifts. Next door, at  5515 Magazine Street, is Basics Swim and Gym, a fitness and swimwear boutique from the same owners.

It's a surprise to find such an upscale lingerie shop in a small town. The experienced saleswomen specialize in personalized, professional, and respectful bra fittings. The inventory includes dozens of fine brands in a wide range of sizes.

This welcoming boutique specializes in beautiful lingerie, shapewear, and loungewear—and in helping you find the best size and fit. Locally made CBD products are also available.

For over 40 years this small but well-stocked boutique has furnished locals with pretty but functional bras, panties, and pajamas as well as sexy lingerie. Nowadays, owner Maria Ashby reports outfitting the offspring of her original customers---a testament to her personable service.
