Boutique Elegence

Recently I bought a dress from this store for a function & while I do love the dress, the woman "Nora", who owns the store was less than ok. Her dog runs around the store & is untrained, so I had to dodge poop that the dog was leaving, she was less than friendly or nice & quite honestly was VERY PUSHY to make a sale. She then convinced me to buy a shrug to go with the dress & not being a person who gets all decked out very often, I was unsure & she assured me I must buy this shrug to go with the dress & further added if I didn't like it, I could always return it. Which in the end, after showing it to my mom & sister who felt, like me that it was "too old looking" for the dress & made me look like a "Mother of the Bride" vs a young 20's which I am. So I tried to return it & get my $$ back. She refused saying that she "is not a dept store & is a boutique" & no refunds are given...only store credit. And yet, no policy to this cash only policy was posted! Will NEVER go there again! SHADY CASH ONLY BUSINESS! more

Nora's tailor shop delivers handmade clothing and gorgeous LA fashions that arrive within a week to be fitted to your specifications. An accomplished seamstress, Nora will help you find the perfect gown and shoes to match, make repairs and alterations on everyday clothing, or direct you to other appropriate retailers if she can't be of service. Service is prompt and professional, reasonably priced, and high quality. I ordered a custom bridesmaid dress online from an overseas source, and it didn't fit. Three weeks before the wedding, I stumbled into Nora's shop, desperate to find something in the short amount of time I had left! She quickly assessed my figure, picked out the perfect dress, and ordered it in my size. When it came in a week later, she altered the straps and added darts, reinforced the ribbon rosebuds that decorated the bodice, and sent me to a place done the road where I snapped up a pair of heels for $10. Her motherly advice and professional expertise were above and beyond my expectations. more
