Boutique Larrieux
This downtown boutique carries expertly tailored wraps from Anna Scholz, vampy cocktail wear from Monif C. and super-comfortable loungewear from Chalet.
Bombshell
Denise Alden seeks out pieces that manage to be both sophisticated and comfortable, like Zen Knits deep V-neck tops, Lucie Lu’s flower-embellished tanks and Jibri’s summery wrap dresses.
Voluptuous Vixen
The lingerie selection here, with bras up to size 44JJ, is peerless—as is owner (and photographer) Jaclyn McCabe, who has an eye for figure-flattering designs from David Meister, Anna Scholz and Jessica Svoboda.
Buxom
Bree Reed names Gossip lead singer Beth Ditto as inspiration at this disco-ball-adorned, one-year-old shop. Ditto's exuberant spirit is evident in wildly patterned maxi dresses from Fashion Love and pink party frocks from S.W.A.K.
Vive La Femme
Kiyonna wraps and Igigi's beautifully cut cocktail dresses are highlights here, not to mention its roster of special events, like photo shoots with local studio Vavoom Pin-Ups.
Plush Boutique
Whether you visit the elegant bricks-and-mortar shop in Kirkwood Station or its extensive online complement, Plush is a reliable resource for showstopping dresses, like rainbow minis from Hello Eliza and evening selections from Vitamin C.
Fresh Ayer
Parsons design grad Liz Ayerle sells staples like Yummie Tummie tank tops (featuring a control panel across the midsection) and Diane Kennedy’s silky day-to-evening pants—and she recently launched her own collection of blouses at this 2,700-square-foot boutique.
