lie Fine Lingerie has just celebrated its Efirsl anniversary. The Boutique on Caroline St. has been catering to Waterloo‘s lingerie needs for the past 12 months and the owners pride themselves on providing personalized service. "We carry all styles, from classic to sporty, frilly to chic and specialized lingerie for expectant and nursing mothers", says Catherine Frei who coâ€"owns the shop with Maryâ€"Lou Gardiner. There is nothing more frustrating than finding the perfect bra to go under your outfit, only to realize that the store doesn‘t have your size in stock. Elle realizes that this is a common problem among franchise lingerie stores which tend to only carry the most commonly bought sizes. That‘s why Elle carries everything between 324A and 40F. If they don‘t have your size in the store, they will order it in for you. "We can order up to a [â€"cup in most brands and styles", affirms Maryâ€"Lou. The owners of Elle are very involved in Waterloo‘s art scene and want to help promote as many local artists as they can. You can see their appreciation for art as soon as you walk into their Caroline St. store by the attention to detail that has gone into the décor. Last year Elle hosted an art show featuring work created by local artists; over 300 people attended. They hope to host another show before the year is out.

The jewellery is hand crafted by a local art teacher; each piece is a one of a kind. Elle has a selection of pendants, earrings, rings and bracelets. Lingerie, though it is a big part of Elle, isn‘t the only commodity that Maryâ€"Lou and Catherine have to offer at their store. Waterloo native Jeff Sage makes the candles and in addition all the artwork hanging in the store is the handiwork of lacal artisans. Elle also carries men‘s underwear. A new fall shipment has recently arrived in the latest styles and colors. But men also come into Elle to shop for their wives and girlâ€" friends. "A lot of men want to buy lingerie for their wives, but feel intimidated walking into a lingerie store", explains Maryâ€"Lou. "Before Valentine‘s Day last year we held a menâ€"only night which turned out to be a tremendous success", adds Catherine. "We are planning to hold another one before Christmas". Any men wishing to be includâ€" ed in Elle‘s next Men‘s Night should call the shop to put their name on the guest list. Whether you‘re looking to check out the new Xâ€"bra, you‘re in the market for sleepwear, or you‘re just curious about Elle‘s selection of original jewellery, stop by and visit the shop at 91B Caroline St. in Waterloo.
