Elizabeth is my go to for all special occasions. She has designed everything from my daughters baptism gown to first birthday and communion gown. She worked hard to design exactly what I wanted for her communion gown, and it was truly one of a kind. I have never had an issue with her accommodating requests to change something within reason. I would never shop anywhere else! read more

Born Yesterday - Communion dress - Children's Clothing Near Me - Staten Island, New York

DO NOT spend your money with this arrogant, rude, unprofessional, unapologetic person. After a very unpleasant experience having a custom suit started for my child's Communion, that looked cheap and had stains in the fabric she refused to refund me my money. She produced nothing but a first fitting with fabric that looked like living room curtains with a week left to go for the deadline. She's runs late and doesn't produce in the time she leads you to believe. She actually wants the money paid in full before she even finishes the product which is how she locks you in regardless of the outcome and product delivered. I wish I read the reviews before I wasted my time and money with this bitch. She doesn't care about her clients at all and tries to act like she's tough with her big mouth. She's lucky I don't need the money that she basically robbed from me. I feel bad for anyone who gets caught up with this mess. I recommend going to Truly Blessed instead! Beautiful people who go above and beyond! It will catch up to you Elizabeth. Staten Island is small and I can tell you I will let everyone I know how awful and ugly of a person you were to me. I have already heard of three other people who have recently had bad experiences with her in the last two weeks. read more

Beautiful items but the staff, especially the owner fail to deliver on service, politeness or even the correct order. Please do not purchase a gift card for anyone here, they cater to you until they notice you're paying with a gift card. They can't be bothered assisting you since it's already paid for. So all the items over the gift amount were then left on the counter. Over priced and you don't always receive what you ordered / paid for. Keep all receipts and if you must settle on this place, give yourself time to manage any discrepancies. read more

Any online children's boutique has better equality clothing and customer service. Try Zara kids. This place isn't it!!

Terrible customer service! Judgmental and rude staff who pick and chose who to be nice to. Really a shame because even though their clothing are overpriced, they are still very cute. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. This establishment must believe their clients were "Born Yesterday". I ordered my daughter's communion dress in January. When we went for her first fitting several elements were missing. The owner said she would fix them. A week later we go for our second fitting and the dress isn't ready and they turned us away...after I had pulled my daughter out of school to attend this confirmed fitting. Owner promised it would be ready the next day. The next day is the eve before her communion. I called ALL day asking when I could pick it up. They kept promising and ensuring it was being worked on and would be ready that day no matter what. They were backed up. I was understanding throughout it all. Finally, we get the call to pick up at 10:30pm. My daughter is now in bed and I won't even know if the dress fits or not. We pick it up and it's missing TWO elements. A tulle skirt overlay and rhinestone beading around the collar. The bow on the back of the dress is also different than what I ordered. When addressing the situation to the receptionist and owner they were arrogant and unapologetic. Said I should be happy I have my dress. After many attempts the owner refused to make it right and instead called me a psycho for verbalizing my dissatisfaction. Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere. The owner is arrogant, insulting and disrespectful and doesn't provide the services you pay for. Her work is overrated, overpriced and unfinished. read more

You Elizabeth are a thief and a horrible business woman if you want to call yourself that. Your lucky the only thing this mother did was call you the C-word. You are a liar a cunning piece of garbage and I'm so happy I didn't get a dress from you!.... you gave the run around over accessories imagine a dress! you are the epitome of trash!.. no class and lack of ethic.. I have never been to any dress store, high end or not and dealt with the lies and deceit and the stories that I heard from my friends that actually got a dress from you, are horrific!. The owner is a pathetic coward who lies and tries to sell you items on false pretenses. Then tells you, your seeing things. You are too much of a punk to even get on a phone you hide behind poor Angela who you use as a puppet!. Your store should be shut down! You are a disgrace! With dresses that feel like paper mache.. How your still in business I don't know.. 0000000000000000 stars read more

Born Yesterday - Crook creep and wouldn't even recite it. I had to get the style # and seek it out online thank god I did or I would have no tiara!. - Children's Clothing Near Me - Staten Island, New York

DONT GO HERE!!!!! They'll close down soon. Awful!! Terrible customer service. And they steal your money.. no wonder they only take cash.

Terrible customer service. After calling them for a week asking about navy suit for communion was told getting them friday. Went Saturday and was told you have to bring grandson in. Wanted to see material of suit. Salesgirl was extremely rude and practically ripped it away from me. Then was told they are not ordering them. I wouldn't even go there to buy a headband. Extremely rude, nasty. Will tell all my friends definitely, read more

First time buyer of a communion suit for my grandson - went there on Feb 9th - owner was helpful and promised the world and then didn't deliver. We purchased a suit, shoes, socks, shirt, tie the whole works - spent $875 and paid in cash. Was told the goods would be there by April 20th which we had a photographer booked for. Elizabeth the owner said of course the order would be in by then. They didn't get it in until April 24th and then it needed alterations. We made an appointment for April 30th to pick the suit and was told that it was not ready. No apologies for the delay, instead we received nothing but rudeness. I wish I would have known this before we went there. I would not recommend this Born Yesterday to anyone. Please go else where! Spend your money where the owner appreciates you and your business.

Worst Customer Service. Paid for a custom communion dress almost $2,000 and she cant accommodate my work schedule. I work M-F 9-5 I could get to her store by 5:30. She cancelled my appointment 2 times in one week. Her response was pretty much her way or no way. "We cant help you if you cant come earlier then 4 since the seamstress leaves at 4 to pick up her kid" and screaming at me telling me I am rude. How about I want my money back. this short notice if you cant accommodate my schedule then I cant pay you for the service. PISSED OFF read more

OUT OF BUSINESS....or perhaps they moved, but I hear they didn't pay their rent. Oh well, perhaps if they were nicer to paying customers and not so rude and dismissive, they would have done better business. I was there twice. The first time I was ignored until I walked out. I went back a year or so later, thinking maybe I got them on an "off" day the first time. Nope, same treatment. Disgusting. Good riddance. read more

I agree that service is horrible when the owner is there. The young girls are not that bad but the owner is not helpful and overcharged me not once but 3 times. I called her out on it and she acted like it was an innocent mistake. A mistake once NOT 3 different times. She's a thief and has a nasty attitude on top of that, Thank god for the internet...I order ONLINE read more

Overpriced , horrible customer service , bad attitude . Unless you look like you will spend a million , you will not be greeted or treated fairly . read more

So kind, warm and helpful! Absolutely gorgeous dresses which are customizable too!

A word of warning to anyone who even thinks of buying anything from these people. You'll be sorry. The people there are extremely rude and have no idea what customer service is. They promise you the world but never deliver. Then they give you excuses as to why they can't deliver. They actually try to put the blame on you. You leave voice messages and they never return your call. And don't ask for your money back. It's like pulling teeth. Call any other children's store in the area and they will tell about all of the complaints people have made about this place. I can go on, but I think and I hope you get my message here. STAY AWAY! read more

If I could give no stars I would. I walked in the store yesterday to purchase a christening outfit for my son. There were two employees working at the time. There was one other costumer in the store. They did not even help us at all! Extremely rude! It seemed as though they thought I had no money to spend and couldn't be bothered. Meanwhile I had been in there for my wedding and had a costume gown made for my flower girl and spent $550. Obviously they had no recollection because their main concern was the one costumer besides me that they had in there. I will never recommend this place I can't even see how they are still in business. read more

****In response to the woman's comments below if you don't believe us all you have to do is go on the Better Business Bureau and you will see that she has three standing complains on her and her business she told one of her customers I hope you crash and die on your way home!! Sorry but we are not the crazies here!**** The owner of this establishment needs to go to business school and take a crash course on costumer service, because this is not the place to go if you want to be treated nicely for giving them your business. The quality of the head band we ordered would have probably been better if a kindergarten child made it. God forbid you voice your opinion to the owner she will make it well known that costumer satisfaction is not on her list, she showed me the courtesy by hanging up on my face multiple times while repeating the words "officer this is the call" before each time she hung up as to scare me that the police were getting my complaints about the horrible service she was dishing out!. I am a hairdresser and I must say I have never treated a client of mine with such disrespect!. To top it all off we were threatened to be sued if we took to social media to voice our disappointment. With all of this being said I can only hope and pray that no one else walks into that shop and experiences the wrath of that unprofessional owner. Shopping for your newborn baby is supposed to be one of the most wonderful experiences a woman can feel...well this was one of the worst shopping experiences of my life, if you know what's best for you and your little one steer clear of Born Yesterday you will thank me later. FYI... This would have gotten a zero star rating but Yelp doesn't allow you to post without a star so unfortunately I had to place one star on my complaint but for the record this is 0 star rating. read more

Elizabeth's designs are truly unique and amazing! Had such a pleasurable experience creating my daughter's communion dress!

Reading all of the complaints on the Better Business Bureau website as well as other sites such as Yellow pages and the fact that this company is not BBB accredited and has an F rating speaks for itself again DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! read more

If I could give zero stars I would ... This store is the worst children's store I have ever seen .. Way over priced and beyond rude. I have shopped there many times and when it was time for my sons communion I went to purchase his suit from them ... He was fitted not once but twice for a extremely expensive suit ... I didn't care about the price being it was a special occasion ($900 dollars to be exact ) .. The morning of his communion his shirt.. a plain button up again very expensive ($70 dollars ) did not button ..I called the store and a very rude girl told me ..Sorry I can't help u ... If u want u can come buy a new shirt ? My response was .. Why would I buy a new shirt if he didn't wear it and he was fitted and measured by you ? We can't help you ? We don't do returns .. Well obviously I was livid but had no choice but to walk into that sick woman's store and repurchase the exact same shirt in his size .. Being we were having a party that day and needed his shirt. Well it's safe to say I will never walk in that store and have told all my friends and family to do the same. $1000 dollar lesson learned. This woman is not very nice especially being these outfits are for special occasions and she makes it very hard to enjoy anything u purchase from her ...Please beware and don't be fooled by the beautiful stuff she carries .. u can find it elsewhere for a lot cheaper probably .. Sad thing is it wasn't about the money it was about how rude and disrespectful she was ..All her reviews are bad for a reason... I also never wrote anything until I see what she is doing to other ppl and I think everyone should know not to shop there read more

Or Michelle C., you can tell them to friend Bornyesterday Children's on Facebook and see the thousands of thank you's and fabulous reviews from people that are very satisfied and elated with their custom work!!! read more

I wish I could leave NO stars. Girl at the counter was on her cell phone the entire time and completely unhelpful. The selection was great but I would not shop there because of the terrible customer service and complete disregard for a customer. read more

I WILL NEVER SHOP IN THIS STORE AGAIN!! I am a senior citizen who was interested in buying a dress for my granddaughter. When I commented about the price of an item, the store owner, I think her name is Elizabeth, was very nasty and rude and told me that if I didn't like the prices, I should shop somewhere else. The way she said it was very rude and with such disrespect. I walked out of that store so fast and will never return. She needs to learn how to deal with customers or she's going to wind up losing lots of business!!! I do not recommend shopping at this store. The way the economy is, I'm sure there are other children's stores who will appreciate the business and their customers. read more

I drove all the way from Brooklyn with my 7 year old daughter to view communion accessories here. After paying the toll, wasting money on gas and wasting a day to come to this specific store we were turned away!! As I was looking at the accessories the first words that came out of the owners mouth were "Did you purchase your dress here?" I responded no, she said well I cannot sell you accessories they are only for customers who purchased their dress here! I was mortified and disgusted!! What type of business is run like this?! There is no excuse in the world! So please beware. I wish I would have known this prior to going because I would of never stepped foot in this store. When I tell this story to people, i DON'T even have to mention the stores' name people automatically know what they are about! My poor daughter had to witness this and ask why can't we get anything. I had to explain to a 7 year old why?! This is disgraceful!! read more
