Where to shop in Dallas right now: 5 best stores for naughty and nice lingerie

Inspired by a gorgeous lingerie set we spied online — available at Scoop NYC in Highland Park Village, if you must know — we embarked on an all-out search for comparable sets at other local lingerie shops. Althouth there are few intimates-only stores around Dallas, the following five, born here or imported, help satisfy our need for both pretty and practical underthings.

Agent Provocateur
The internationally renowned lingerie brand opens its first Texas store at NorthPark Center this month. Whether you want to spice things up in the bedroom or turn heads at the beach, you can find something here. Salespeople wear iconic pink house coats designed by British designer Vivienne Westwood, and they are ready to help you find something that makes you look and feel your sexiest.

Loretta’s Intimates
A one-stop lingerie shop in Plano, Loretta’s Intimates carries an assortment of lingerie, bridal wear and swimsuits. Lines include Nanette Lepore, Wacoal, Yummie Tummie and Natori. Taking boudior photos? No problem: This shop has an expansive selection of outfits to ensure you’re ready for your close-up.

The Maddox Shop
This East Dallas mainstay has been outfitting women with quality intimate apparel since 1934. Maddox Shop caters to all body types — cup sizes up to N and bands up to 54 inches — with fashion, bridal, mastectomy, nursing, beginner and sports bras, as well as underwear, shapers, swimwear and lingerie. This is the place to go if you need a custom-sized piece of lingerie that you can’t find in a standard store. Bonus: onsite alterations.

Trousseau
Despite its prestigious location on the edge of Highland Park, owner Nasrin Hormozi could not be more down to earth, and there is no better person in town to help find a bra that fits. Shop for a variety of bras, panties, sleepwear, hosiery and more. Brands we love include Damaris, Chantelle, La Perla, Simone Perele, Argentovivo and Huit. Trousseau offers bras in sizes 30A to 42G, as well as everything you could possibly need to pull off a sexy bedroom look.

Wolford
International favorite Wolford has been providing quality hosiery and lingerie for decades, and we are fortunate to have a standalone boutique at NorthPark Center. Wolford meets the need for practical yet beautiful lingerie that smooths you out in all the right places. (Girl, we all need a little help.) Expect lots of black, white and nude and excellent customer service.

Dallas' once-a-year Salvation Army fashion show sale is a shopper must

Salvation Army

The actual sale will probably not be this color-coded.

It's one of the hottest sales of the year and it's happening in Dallas on May 9-10: It's the After-Sale hosted by the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary, featuring designer clothing, shoes, and accessories at a highly discounted price.

This annual event has been called one of Dallas’ best kept secrets: a designer warehouse sale featuring new and gently worn clothes from the city’s best dressed closets and local boutiques. Featured pieces include designers such as Carolina Herrera, Ulla Johnson, Marc Jacobs and more.

It's part of the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary’s Fashion Show & Luncheon which since its inception in 1993 has raised more than $16 million for The Salvation Army of North Texas.

This year’s Fashion Show & Luncheon took place on May 6 at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center and included a seated lunch and runway show featuring designer labels donated from Dallas’ most admirable closets and boutiques. Patrons were able to shop from The Chic Boutique or purchase runway items through a silent auction, with proceeds supporting The Salvation Army.

Dallas Women’s Auxiliary President Laura Downing and founding Emeritus Auxiliary member Margot Perot honored Nancy Dedman with the namesake Margot Perot Service Award. Millie Cooper, whose leadership and legacy have inspired countless women to service, was recognized as the Legacy Award recipient. The inaugural Love in Action Award was presented to Toni Turner for her commitment to making the Dallas Women’s Auxiliary and the Fashion Show & Luncheon a success.

“Each year, the Fashion Show & Luncheon serves as a positive reminder of the immense generosity of our advocates, partners, and donors,” said Major Dawn McFarland, area commander of The Salvation Army of North Texas. “It’s truly special to see North Texans come together for such a remarkable event, all in the name of service. We invite those who were unable to attend to come out for our After Sale. Every dollar makes a difference, and what better way to show support than by sprucing up your wardrobe!”

The Fashion Show After Sale will take place at 9216 Harry Hines Blvd. May 9-10, from 10 am-6 pm and feature gently and never-worn women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing, as well as shoes, handbags, and accessories at discounted prices — donated from coveted closets and boutiques in North Texas.
