Purchased prisim garment online based on the photos. The garment is not sold as pictured and the company chooses not to show the image as sheer which is it. When you reach out to them they suggest you purchase a slip. This dress is $158 after shipping AND it does not stand alone, AND it took 8 weeks to recieve. DISAPPOINTING! At no point will any slip I purchace give it the same or similar effect or and it will alter the fit. They have refused a refund, however at this point I do not trust the brand and would not want to own any of their products. Would not suggest shopping here unless you see the product in person. read more

I'd actually give less of a star if i could so badly I have been mistreated or rather ignored by them. Frankly I've had better service from robots. So I bought some huaraches that were the usual size that I wear except these were too big. I remember after ordering them that I wished there was a size chart on the site, but there wasn't and I was crushed when the twelves arrived with a large enough gap to sneak a small clown in there. I reached out to them twice and NOTHING. Unserviceable negligent scum. I told them I am going to write them a bad review so here I am. Avoid, they don't deserve business. read more

Pros: edgy design, sustainable/eco-minded brand Cons: quality, value Many products are severely overpriced. (A black spinel ring for $495, really? https://www.altarpdx.com/products/750586839-artemis-ring-black-spinel-ring-wedding). These $125 https://www.altarpdx.com/products/copy-of-rubber-shirt pants are not worth the price tag due to craftsmanship issues (button loose after 2 wears, and they fit me very roomy, not being stretched). They're super cute, though! I just don't expect them to last, and what is sustainable about clothing that is poorly made? read more

A nice little gem (no pun intended) in the heart of hipster Portland. So I decided to get some supplies for a newly conceived sex altar (nbd. Just making a sex altar lol). By high recommendation I came to Altar, where I was happy to find everything I needed. All the crystals, books, locally made jewelry, and locally made clothing are offered here. And with an owner/staff to answer any questions or help guide you in the right direction. Not only did I walk out of there with a few perfect crystals for my own sex alter, I also found several pieces of jewelry, some leggings and a shirt. What a great place to get one-of-a-kind pieces that you can't get anywhere else. A real local Vibe, great selection and you are supporting the local artist community. read more

Altar - Anything and everything you could want. - Women's Clothing Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I was so excited for the dress I ordered. I waited over eight weeks to receive the prism dress. But I was so disappointed when I pulled out the dress, and found something drastically different than what was advertised on their website, and was unfinished. Worse than that, their customer service has been basically nonexistent, the best offer they gave me was to return the dress and get a different item or sell it myself. That's right for customer service told me to re-sell the dress myself rather then accept a return. They didn't send me the dress they advertised and rather than make the situation right or offer me a refund, they offered me the opportunity to resell an unfinished product that looked nothing like the advertisement and has a blank size and care tag. I'm stuck with a useless unfinished mess. read more

Have you ever walked into to store took a deep breath and said "I AM HOME?" That was my experience, I cannot wait to head back down to Portland, OR again. This little shop will be my first stop. The Yelp photos really do not do must justice for this shop. Stop by their Instagram​ and check out​ all of the fun. read more

The selection is on point but the house line is my favorite. I mean give me all your jumpsuits! Locally made. Women owned. What else do you need? read more

I adore the raw crystal jewelry that iron oxide crafts. They also have a listing on Etsy if you're from out of town, and you can search iron oxide. There is definitely more of a variety in store! I purchased a darling smoky quartz ring and I probably could have easily spent a lot more. Buyer beware! You won't even realize how much you spend if you step foot into the Altar as the delicate necklaces and rings will lure you into a trance and you'll step out oblivious of your monetary exchange, but..... Alas, you will have an exquisite piece of craftwomanship on your finger or around your neck! read more

This place is amazing. I would be happy to have any one item in this store because I love it all. Recently came in to purchase a Birthday gift for a dear friend. I was greeted when I walked in, and left to shop and gaze at all the beautiful things in this shop. I bought my friend a dress to wear during her pregnancy and was told the designer could alter it if need be, the dress fit my friend perfectly so no need, but what a lovely gesture. So many beautiful things, I'm obsessed. read more

You can hardly stroll down any major street In Portland without bumping into a delightful little boutique with locally made trinkets. I love these places and you can bet your sweet ass I go into each and every one of those damn boutiques to ohh and aww over the goodies. After you've gone to a few of these places, lets face if you start to bump into the same knick knacks. Enter Mag Big... Mag Big offers a whole new world of knick knacks, goodies and trinkets! It's a smaller space but it's jam packed with fun thing to check out. Jewelry, prints, cards, and all kinds of things to make your life a little more beautiful. They have a very unique selection of crafts all from local artists. The lovely lady, whom I presume is the owner, knows so much about each and every item and is more then willing to help you out. Before purchasing my wallet, which I love, the owner shared a little bit about who crafted it, the leather and showed/explained to me how the stitching was top notch. What a nice personal touch! Above they store they have a sewing area. I believe they offer classes as well as a space to come together and sew. Very cool idea if you ask me! The "idea" of Mag Big is nothing new, in fact it's a pretty saturated market. Even still Mag Big has something special about it. I like that it doesn't have a boutique-y or fancy feel to it. As far as I'm concerned it's the best of it's kind. read more

Creative, handcrafted designs. Everything from coasters, jewelry, clothes, art, wallets, everything is created by local Portland artists. This store is located where the old Dollar Scholar was, and it's nicely put together. In the back there is a gallery where a selected artist can display their art for a month, I believe. There is so much in this store, I wanted to buy a little bit of everything. The prices are actually really reasonable and since everything is handcrafted you can find that unique gift that may not be available if you don't buy it on your first visit. I'm already making plans to make this a gift buying stop for the holidays that are coming. I really love this location, which is pretty close to the House of Vintage and Awesome Cone. The dude that runs was behind the counter might be an insane person, but in a really good way. ;P read more

Altar - Women's Clothing Near Me - Portland, Oregon

See all

Had so many cool expensive stuff but the worker with pink hair was grouchy and wasn't too friendly with an attitude.

This is a lovely little store packed full of creative, interesting jewelry, clothing and gifts. Everything in the store is handmade in Portland, so if you're really into shopping local, this is your mecca. I found quite a few things I loved, from lovely hand-sewn and screenprinted tanks to faux-grass earrings and rings. The girls who work there are lovely and very friendly, and the store offers incredibly affordable sewing classes. Definitely a new must-stop shop on Hawthorne. read more

I wandered into this cute little store after seeing that they offered some (amazingly priced!) sewing classes. I poked around in their cute store, which had a wide selection of local artists' artwork & handmade pieces. They had everything from adorable acorn earrings to a cute felt "sandwich" playset for babies. It is a perfect place to find gifts for people, and snag a few lovely items for yourself without totally draining your bank account. I'll update the review after the sewing class. read more

This is a great little store to pick up a quick gift or something for a friend. Lot's of locallly made awesomeness. I picked up "Made in Oregon" coasters, candles, jewels, etc. Great spot for a guy to pick up a nice gift for the lady in his life. My BF gave me a sweet necklace that the owner helped him pick out. NICE WORK! read more

I was super excited to visit Altar after stalking them online, and seeing that they appeared to offer a great and stylish plus size selection. I had seen ads, the beautiful models on their IG, and shopped them online so i felt I had an idea about what i would find in store but that wasn't the case. I was met with the tiniest plus size selection in the back (of course) of the store, and there was like one item above a size 16. The woman at the counter kept telling me the designer could make me certain items, but that means nothing if you don't see it on your body. If you are going to make a name for yourself and advertise on the basis of being size inclusive then for the love of all fat people, do better by us. Just totally disappointed. read more

Walked in to peruse their earrings. A girlfriend recommended I check out Altar. I was in the store for five minutes and the clerk didn't acknowledge, greet, say hi or ask if I needed help. She seemed to be more interested in listening to her loud friend talk about how to be a female comedian in Portland. I'm all for girl power but perhaps this wasn't the right venue? There are plenty of great local businesses with excellent customer service I would rather shop at. I left after five minutes and probably won't be back. read more

Cassie and her sweet team have curated an incredible line of designers at Mag-Big, and are completely 'killing it' with their in-house line. Constantly wearing a smile and working her ass off, this girl does amazing things for the Portland fashion community and I'm always excited to see what's new with her and her adorable shop. read more

This place if full of super fun and crafty items for everyone! I love that that are handmade and from Portland. Candles that smell sooooo good. Purses, art (the squirrel painting!!), clothing, jewelry, postcards... the list goes on. The other thing that I loved was that the gal working there was very friendly and helpful. She also seems to be made in Portland! read more

My go-to spot for jewelry. All high quality, affordable, locally-made pieces. Very hip, when I wear a piece from them it totally updates my whole outfit. The clerks are knowledgable, friendly and intuitive. The owner is there often and is a wealth of knowledge about the goods. Good energy, v harmonized. I am Complimented on the earrings I got here literally every time I wear them. read more

I. Freaking. Love. This. Store. To be honest, I try not to go to Mag-Big because I rarely escape for less than $100. A giant agate cocktail ring? Sure! A bar of handmade mint soap? Ok! Yet another drape-neck top? Why not! I absolutely love the owner's enthusiasm, helpfulness, and dedication to supporting and promoting local artists and designers. She always has some little tidbit to tell you about the item you are looking at. She rotates the stock continually so you always find something new: gorgeous jewelry, well-made clothing, cute little gifts, even some art and household goods. There is also a huge variety of price points. I do wish they had more clothing in larger sizes and curvier proportions, but I still manage to find something every time. I can't stay away from this place! read more

I love stopping in this shop whenever I can. They have nice jewelry and interesting perfumes that I can't seem to get enough of!

Crammed with so much local art, mostly jewelry, it's amazing that it does not explode. It's basically all dripping off the walls.It's a collage full of necklaces, earrings, bracelets. All very different, some steampunk mixed in with other unique jewelry. I overheard the cashier tell someone they have over 500 artists. It's pretty overwhelming and even confusing at times as you really have to look under, over, and around other items to find that one piece that catches your eye. read more

I love this darling boutique! A favorite stop of mine when visiting Portland. If you love vintage or hand made clothing and jewelry, then make sure to stop by! The fabric they use is chosen carefully as it is both high quality, beautiful, and often USA made. Love that you can get anything altered or repaired here and that designers and seamstresses help run the store! True local owned and run! read more

This little shop shares space with an adorable brunch spot both lovely spaces with wonderful touches of vintage and new. My advise, stop by when both are open!!! Altar has many many many pieces of exquisite hand made jewelry. I have a huge love affair with all types or artists but those that make admirable jewelry are the biggest heart breakers. I don't know how long I was in the shop but I wanted everything!!! And most of the artist are local. I'm so happy I stopped in, I'll certainly be a returning customer. I already know what my next piece will be. read more

This place is amazing. I was visiting from New York and stumbled upon this lovely store while waiting for brunch next door. I saw a jumpsuit that I really liked but they did not have it in XS. I was advised by the amazingly helpful staff to email the company directly and ask whether they will make an XS for me. My communication with the company was smooth and straightforward. My custom made jumpsuit arrived shortly after the order was placed. Thank you Altar for being so accommodating. Wish you were in NY. read more

I love this store! This is where I buy all my special gifts for the ones I care about and usually pick up something for myself as well. I'm the proud owner of two Mag-Big dresses, a few pairs of earrings and a leather wrist cuff...I cherish everything I own from there! read more

I love this place. It is so lovely. The stone necklaces, the cute felted acorns, the art prints, everything is gorgeous. I felt so comfortable and peaceful coming into the shop. I bought myself a lovely crystal necklace that I will adorn forever. The reason why I didn't give this 5 stars, is because it is attached to a noisy restaurant with people running in and out and bumping into you while you are shopping in the store. It kinda took away from the ambience of the store. This is a fantastic store, and I strongly believe that you could have a stand-alone brick and mortar, rather than sharing a space with the diners. read more

Hands down, my favorite shop in Portland (or ever?). Beautiful clothing and jewelry. Rad art/unique artifacts. Awesome staff, too! I would give this place 6 stars if I could. read more

Beautiful store, sweet owners and handmade goods. I bought some porcupine quills there and random stones! Worth the stop.

Lets face it I love shopping, I'v lived here all my life and think of myself having great taste. I was walking down Hawthorn one day and saw this cute sign that read Mag-Big. I walked in and found pure Portland sexy bliss, awsome things to buy the women in my life. Maybe a thing or two for me. The owner is amazing and I love the layout and her dresses. Cant wait to look over and see a beautyful woman with one of her dresses on. OVER 400 artists and crafters, local hand made Goodness. read more

As boutiques go this is the best west of the Atlantic Ocean. The owners have style. Altar rules.

I love the vibe of this store. Employees are nice but don't follow you every step around the store acting like you're gonna steal or something. They have great jewelry and i love their tarot cards! I am so happy they have plus size items online now!!! Such a cool company, I never regret giving them my money. read more

Love these ladies they're super sweet and attentive but not in your face. Plus everything is local! Black lipstick co is my FAV and I went in there just yesterday to buy a couple more (have to only buy two at a time so the boyfriend doesn't notice :) hehe) and when I saw that I had basically bought them out already I asked when they'd be getting more and she had already sent the girl an email to restock. Can't wait for my visit next week to these lovely ladies to get my black lipstick co fix. (They also have awesome funky postcards that my out of town family just love) read more

I popped into Altar and loved the shop! This tucked away little jewel on Hawthorne is one of the best boutiques on the block. Its hard to find such diversity of clothes- they even had indian style prints of a brand Indie Ella. Their jewelry really is a cut above the rest, I first heard of them for it and its what made me decide to pop in. read more

We NEED an Altar sister location in Seattle pronto! I wanted to buy one of everything! Such a great shop for all of your spooky, witchy, metaphysical fashion needs. I had to stop myself from buying some animal teeth jewelry. They carry great clothing, accessories, paper goods, cosmetics, and art. I will say I felt a little put off by the staff. Like the sales girl was giving more attention to someone who looked like they would 100% make a purchase. But she still helped me out at the jewelry case, so big whoop. I'll definitely be stopping buy during my next visit to Portland. read more

I have never used Yelp before but I am doing it to let people know about the lack of care at this place, I walked into this store to buy a necklace for my girlfriend and I hen I walked in I was greeted with a stare that looked as if she was thinking "please gtfo of my store"and when i tried to speak she put her hand up and stopped me in the middle of my sentence, I honestly don't care what she had to say after that I simply walked out. Maybe she was having a bad day or something but I have never been so disrespected in any establishment EVER! Just sayin... read more

I love this store! So many goodies from local artists. What a gem!

Mary (I hope that's your name!) helped me and was incredible! I went to Altar recently to buy a birthday present for my wife, and Mary was so helpful and asked several questions that I hadn't thought of, such as 'Does she wear certain metals only' or 'Does she have any allergic reactions to certain jewelry'. My wife loved what I picked out and I will definitely be going back. read more

What a fun store! Inspiring work by local crafters. I wanted to purchase many items and I also learned more about what is being made in the city. I was excited to see some work by some friends I didn't know were selling there. read more
