In the ashes of Hemline, a new Em & Lee has sprung up. Hemline is still about, it's just moved…read more I really like Em & Lee. If you're looking for a last minute dress, top, shoes, or scarf for your night out, avoid University Drive and just head here. The clothes are affordable, but aren't genera-hip (ie bland) like some other, cheaper shops a block over. You're not really going to run into someone else with the exact same dress. And you're not going to be wearing much polyester. The cotton to poly-fiber ratio is about 5:5 here which is saying something, especially since the clothes are relatively inexpensive and relatively well-made. Again, this sounds mildly negative, but last minute is last minute and I wouldn't want you to waste your time either paying too much or getting a sub par outfit somewhere else. In fact, the last time I was here, I almost got a really cute, yet edgy strapless dress. Creamy white with a graphic silver, gold, and bronze pattern, and a fullish, layered skirt. Super cute, but I'm not certain how chilly or blazing hot New Years is going to be. Hmm. There are now five Em & Lee shops in town. Of the ones I've been to, including West Grey, I like this one the best. It's the warm wood interior. I'm not certain if that's left over from Hemline, but well, it's more inviting. Also, there were no sixteen year old River Oaks prima donna wannabes flitting about.

A girl's gotta maintain her image and her checkbook. Em & Lee was a great solution for cute cocktail dresses at a reasonable price. I came here upon the recommendation of Allie N. and I'm glad I listened! I had previously spent a bit of time browsing the sales racks of various stores (both department and independent retail shops) and couldn't find anything under $100 and wasn't skankified. I purchased a pale pink/nude-toned dress that was a poly-chiffon. It had a rouched top with a pleated skirt. It was $76 (regular price!) and an appropriate length. They also have a variety of cute tops and casual dresses. It's trendy but not too much. Although, the sizing is more like junior sizing so you may find yourself in between sizes. I appreciate the coupons they have on their website and facebook page. I got $10 off of my purchase because of that.

They do have a clearance section in the back of the store. While I was walking into the clearance section, a separate small room, the worker followed me looking suspicious as if I were to steal something and when I walked out of the clearance room the worker got out too. In my opinion I think this was due to my race since i'm hispanic. The worker at the register however was very kind though. Overall, the price is pretty normal, the selection is only women's clothing and the service depends on who the person is.

The store currently carries the pant at regular price (not on sale). The young lady at the register would not take the return even for a store credit as I was 5 days late bringing it back. I certainly understand not giving me a refund, but I don't understand not giving me a store credit. Tags still on pants and I had my receipt. I will not be giving Lily Rain any more business. I explained to the lady that she had no idea the circumstances nor did she care. Unacceptable customer service. I will continue to support mom and pop shops who value/appreciate their customers but this is not one of them.

I placed an online order and arrived at the store around 5:40 (they supposedly close at 6) and they already closed up shop. If you are going to go as far as setting up a real website with functional online ordering and collect customer payment, at least abide by your posted hours! Very frustrating when you think you can swing by a store to pick up your order (a gift for someone) on the way to a birthday party then have to scramble to go buy an alternative gift at another store. Totally ridiculous and who knows if I'll even get my money back since this is barely a real establishment apparently. Thanks for making me late to a birthday party without a proper gift

The boutique was smelling so nice inside, many of the oil fragrances were there throughout the store. Most of the stuff here was different and unique but was way pricier compared to other boutiques.

I saw many, many dresses and tops that wanted badly to come home with me. All the pieces here are unique, which means a. different and b. possibly pricey, depending on your budget (think $40 t-shirts and $200 jeans). Not everything falls in that range, though, so stop by and have a look even if you think that's out of your range. They also offer great jewelry and other accessories. This is another great store to find something for a special occasion or to fill in that nondescript hole in your wardrobe.
