Prices are on par with department stores like Nordstroms, some splurge items, mostly nicely made clothing. They carry a lot of Eileen fisher, also Patagonia now. I've noticed that there seems to be a change recently, however, with an increase on items under 50, something you wouldn't have seen five or ten years ago! This place has been my go-to for many years, and I've rarely been disappointed. Both my mother (70s) and daughter (30s) shop here too, and were hardly the first family who enjoy the shop together. And we love that there are still nice, local businesses on MacArthur and in the heart of town.

As a plus size person - I guess she was assuming I did not fit into any of their clothes. I find this behavior extremely rude, condescending and discriminating . All customers deserve to shop an entire store. She had no idea what I was looking for or whom I was buying for. This behavior is unacceptable and would strongly urge this store to change their attitude towards women of all sizes.

I wanted to get my mother's 1969 wedding dress made into a getting-ready-robe and veil. If any material was leftover I was hoping for bouquet wrap and a special something to gift to my mom. Wendy created a fabulous robe, beautiful veil with the lace from her dress, wrap for my flowers and a precious handkerchief for my mom by using a square of her gown and then cut-out a piece of lace and sewed it on one side. Seeing my mother hold this walking down the aisle is priceless. Our wedding took place in another city so all of my vendors were remote. I really wanted to someone local to do this (shop small!). This was such a special, positive experience so I will always be grateful to Wendy - she is just so, so talented. Her daughter, Erin, is who I dealt with at the shop and Erin was the best! I cannot recommend Stitches by Wendy enough.

Customer, service for starters, is non existent. I have been in the store a few dozen times and have had ONE time where a girl working there was polite and helpful. The rest of the times they seem too annoyed by your presence to even greet you when you walk in the door. Just today I was in there along with at least 3 other groups of women and the 3 girls manning the store where standing in a circle arms crossed complaining about how long jimmy johns took to make their lunch order. Not a single how are you, may I help you, or do you need that in another size was uttered by any of them in the 20 minutes I was looking around. I've even had times when I bought a bunch of things (rare since their selection is lacking in style compared to other apricot lanes) and the only time I was acknowledged was asking for my pin. Clearly the owner and the young 20 something's she hires have no idea that in business customer service actually helps to increase revenue. Either that or the VERY rude owner/manager just doesn't give a care. A smudge on the apricot lane name in my opinion.

I went in a couple times in more trendy attire like they sell because that's what I prefer to wear, just not at work where it gets torn up easily. The difference in customer service was night and day. In jeans and a tee they would look up, maybe smile if I'm lucky, and leave me alone. The couple times I went in nicer clothes I got greeted cheerfully, asked what I was looking for, complimented my outfit, and helped me shop. It felt like wearing jeans and a tee didn't look like I had money to spend or I wasn't going to buy anything but nicer clothes meant I had money to spend in their store. Very annoying to feel such a difference based on aesthetics. Beyond that, the last time I went in, there was an extremely irritated employee. She was complaining loudly about having to be there (I'm assuming someone called in) and slamming drawers behind the counter. I felt uncomfortable as it was, I can only imagine how the girl felt ringing me out. Haven't gone back since and don't care to. Plenty of other plus size stores with better attitudes and service.
