Stopped in after work for bra sizing and the staff were able to help me immediately. Sky was super non-judgmental and kind, and figured out my size pretty quick. The changing room was lovely there is a cover up you can wear to feel comfortable, and lots of body positivity signage which I appreciate. I found a great bra literally the most comfortable I've ever worn- and it actually fits! and the experience was incredibly positive. I will be back.
I came here for a long time, as the people working are always incredible and they have some really gorgeous pieces. However, it was only when I went to a different store that I realized that they had sized me wrong multiple times. When I went to Forty Winks to get resized, I knew the bra I was wearing was too big and told the sales associate that, but their fit solution was to size me up in the band. I almost purchased 2 expensive bras that were incorrectly fitted. The fit issues I came into the store to solve were a result of me needing a smaller band and larger cup, and that was very easy to figure out once my band was actually measured with a measuring tape. The sales associates here are really wonderful, which is why I'm still giving 3 stars, but I just think they were probably trained incorrectly. I really hope that Forty Winks eventually learns how to correctly size people, and especially how to size people with larger cup sizes. One of their main selling points is inclusivity, but I think anyone larger than a DD would be outside of the store's knowledge base. Great place for smaller-busted people though!!
fantastic prompt and friendly service in a low-key and welcoming, queer-friendly space. I went for a fitting on a Sunday, and it was a great experience for someone who usually gets a headache from shopping. I was thrilled that they had a good selection of bras in my size, and they kindly gave me a list of additional retailers who carried those sizes. Prices were very reasonable as well. Highly recommend this store for a pain free bra shopping experience
Forty Winks accomplishes the very difficult task of being a high-quality lingerie store with an atmosphere so refreshingly chill that it almost makes up for all those judge-y or awkward undergarment establishments you've shopped at in the past. I had 30 minutes between meetings and came into Forty Winks looking for some new work bras in a cup/band combo that is typically hard to find. Aurora quickly provided me with a variety of options, consulted me on fits for the designs I liked, and placed an order for a different color in one of the bras I loved but needed in a nude. This will be my go-to local lingerie store for the rest of my time in Cambridge/Boston!
I’m from the South Shore and drove all the way to Cambridge specifically to visit this store. It did not disappoint! I came in looking for an everyday bra and some wedding lingerie. Sophia was super attentive, helpful and friendly! She fit me properly and selected several bras for me to try on. Overall she made the experience enjoyable and easy. The prices are up there but the store carries high-end good bra brands Chantelle, Natori, etc so it is worth the experience plus the helpfulness of the staff. The store itself was super clean and everyone was very nice and attentive. Will definitely come back next time!
Shopping here is my definition of treating myself. It's a splurge for sure, but the people attending the place are the sweetest, and everything on sale is gorgeous. It's just really lovely.
I cannot share enough good feedback on this store. I’ve been coming here for years and always find something that works for me. Being in a slightly larger size, 36G, I’m always grateful for the number of options available.
I worked with Sophia at Forty Winks and she is so helpful and knowledgeable! She helped resize me and pulled bras with big cup sizes and a small band size, which are hard to find in most stores. Forty Winks carries a wide variety of bra sizes and styles, and is a very cute and well organized store. Great experience!
Amazing! Excellent Customer Service! Very Simple! I never thought I would write that I had a wonderful experience bra shopping and Addie at Forty Winks did everything perfectly. She listened to what I was looking for, explained to me the differences in bras and then showed me one that was the perfect fit. She was incredibly nice, funny and I was in and out in 25 minutes. Also, I really appreciated the signs in the windows about equality. It's a beautiful store and the process was seamless.
Worst experience ever!!! I came into the shop this past Saturday, February 19th. I've shopped only at Forty Winks religiously over the past 2+ years. I had a TERRIBLE experience on Saturday. The cashier short, blonde curly hair was incredibly rude. Firstly, a customer came in and she immediately yelled "your fine, just shut the door already" ... I was appalled and almost walked out. Well I should have ... when it came time to checkout, she had the worst snarky little attitude. Mind you I was checking out and my total was $368. I backed away from the counter and pulled my mask down a little just to quickly unlock my iPhone with FaceID, well she SCREAMED at me "PUT YOUR MASK BACK ON OR GET OUT". I should have walked out then and there and never come back. But I desperately needed bras. She refused to give me her name. I will be returning all my items this week and not returning as the loyal customer I once was.
