Cibeline

Cibelene offers gorgeous designer clothes in her recently expanded shop. Offering glamorous party dresses alongside dressy everyday wear, the one-of-a-kind designs make it difficult not to drop a bundle. The belts and jewelry are nice, but it's the clothes that really stand out here with their beautiful colors and fun cuts. Although they're a bit pricey, you're supporting a local designer, so hit this shop before you turn to Newbury Street for your next new dress. more

If you go into Cibeline, you can often find the store's namesake sitting at the desk or working at the sewing machine. She has designed many of the store's clothes and her style is fitted, retro and fun. She favors bright colors and any girl would look good in one of her party frocks. She also has a carefully selected array of clothes and shoes made by others, as well as some sparkly jewelry (cocktail rings only $12 for major bling). It's not cheap to shop here, but there are also regular sales, and hey, you are buying right from the designer. more

Cibeline is a beautiful store owned by a fashion designer that has a real love for clothes and retail. I went into the store recently and met her; impressed by her relaxed personality and positive spirit. Her shop is exquisite, with bright teal and red walls and beautiful displays. Anyone would feel like a princess shopping at Cibeline. With her sewing room adjacent to the space, you can clearly see that she invests her whole life into this business - and it shows - she wears a smile with realness to it, a sense of pride, a sense of "I know what I've got here, and it's special". The clothes were all lovely, too. In addition, her retail space is large for a boutique and laid out very well for navigating and lingering. The sales staff is bright, fun, and very engaging. No attitude in this shop. You feel like you're shopping amongst friends. If you want upscale retail with a personal touch, shop Cibeline. more
