With about as much square footage as the walk-in closets of some of its patrons, this eclectic boutique manages to stock a surprising selection of the finest designer and imported lingerie. The tasteful luxury displayed here has made it a favorite among the physically and fiscally fortunate. Nelly's buyer prowls the garment district of New York and flies the finds to this stunning shop before anyone else in Seattle has them. Consequently, Nelly Stallion has won the hearts of the area's most stylish, who look upon the annual sales as seasonal must-attend events.

Accessories, scarves, and designer jewelry complement the clothing. Before Max Azria's BCBG specialty store made its way to Bellevue and Seattle, this was the only place you could find his line with reliability. It may be a bit cluttered, but this established Belltown independent boutique mixes the pricey and trendy better than the competition.
