Iris Lingerie
323 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11201
Our take
EditorialIris Lingerie on Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill / Cobble Hill is a Black-woman-owned bra-fitting boutique tucked inside a bridal store, the owner has been doing custom fittings for decades, and her returning clients describe coming back across major life events (first bra, prom dress, post-pregnancy, post-weight-fluctuation) the way you'd return to a trusted family doctor. The fitting method is eyeball-based, the owner takes one look and pulls bras off the wall that fit, and customers consistently describe being in and out in 25 minutes with three bras that fit perfectly. The team handles hard-to-fit sizes well, and swimwear is mentioned positively when it's in stock. The complaint pattern to know about: the owner can come across as pushy when a customer browses without buying, the phone is reportedly hung up on if questions go on too long, and one swimsuit customer felt rebuffed when asking to see hidden inventory. Worth visiting if you're committed to buying; less suited to a casual browse.
