The owner is a professional dancer herself, and it truly shows--she knows exactly what she's doing when it comes to dancewear and especially fitting shoes.

And the selection of shoes, leotards, and warmups is fantastic, thoughtfully curated for dancers of all levels. A special store.

Dare I say one of, if not the best small business I've been to. Prices are average. Same as what you'd pay online, but with the bonus of supporting a small business and getting what you need same day. Like some others have said- I had no idea this place was so close to me. There isn't really any big signs and it's in a small plaza across from Ross. I've probably passed by it 1,000 times lol. Definitely a gem in the rough place you have to search out. When I went it wasn't very busy and so the lady was able to give me amazing one on one care. I will be back to get re-fitted for new pointes since getting more advanced. Don't hesitate to stop by, some of the sweetest souls work there EDIT AS OF 1/19/26- I had the pleasure a few days ago to attend the R-Class pointe shoe fitting here. Jen was amazing and the staff was so nice as always! I absolutely love my RC20s and can't wait to use them in a class.

Here you can pick up a beautiful shirt or sweater that will make an outfit (and potentially cause heads to swivel). Unlike other boutiques, Linda's carries lines that you will not see everywhere (and definitely not at major department stores). While the clothes have attitude (or at least a point of view), the sales associates do not. They have been gracious and helpful every time I stop in. If you want assistance or a candid opinion, they will provide it; if you just want to browse, they will not hover. Linda's is an "old school" boutique in the best possible way.

It was as easy as walking in and telling the owner what I wanted, and she took a look at the pants and gave an incredibly affordable price of $15. She asked if I wanted to try them on, I assume to take measurements herself; I had already done so haphazardly at home myself, but maybe I should have taken her up on it. Nevertheless, my pants were ready the very next day and she did a great job! The stitching is practically invisible and even better than it looked originally. Would definitely come back for any tailoring needs and perhaps to buy a qipao dress if I'm looking for one.

I don't have a typical Chinese woman's body. I was raised in America and I somehow was blessed/cursed with being very top heavy and don't fit it normal Chinese sizes. The first store I went to with my mom in flushing NY had a very rude woman who continued to tell me that I'm such an American and am too big and nothing In her store would fit me and that I would need something custom made for over $400 dollars. The second store, also in flushing told me very similar except she was much better and searched her stock. She was able to find a qi pao that fit me. However, she also recommended given my figure, to custom make something as well. Finally my cousin and his now wife got married late last year and recommended I visit Dia Boutique in Philly. Now it's a bit of a drive for us but we heard great recommendations and figured we make a day trip out of it. I can not say enough nice things about the owners of this store. Dia boutique is a small store who somehow knew their customers needs. They didn't tell me that I was fat or that I was so American. They actually complimented me and told me how excellent my Cantonese was and how she wants to help me find the perfect dress. They had several dresses I fit into in multiple different color variations. When they didn't have my size for a red one, the owner went out of their way to find me my traditional red one that I wanted and was successful at it! While searching for it, I also found a beautiful white one I fell in love with. We also found my fiancé a nice top as well. We left the store, so happy, and having only spent $210 for 3 items when flushing would have cost me over $400 for just 1. I can not say enough great things about Dia boutique and the lovely owners who made me laugh, made me feel comfortable and helped me find my dream qi pao for my wedding. Super impressed!

They have a new rule: you can't exchange or return your items which is also reasonable due to COVID. They lady was super welcoming and attentive. I love that they have a variety of colors, sizes, and materials to choose from. Surprisingly with this big selection, the store was still spacious and not tight at all! Alongside, they also have masks that match the color of your scrubs and they also do embeddings too which I think I super cool. I will for sure comeback!

He picked out one pair for me and told me to go try it on and he'd bring me another option. He brought me another set and was kind enough to exchange the previous (and too small - thanks Quarantine 15) set for a larger size. Upon delivering the larger size he let me know I could discuss any further questions with the young lady (Irin) who was working the register. (I assume he was leaving for the day, since I didn't see him anymore.) Irin was an absolute delight! I really loved one this one set of scrubs, but unfortunately the top size I needed was on back order. She offered to place an order for me but I ultimately declined. Both Irin and the young man (who's name I didn't catch) made shopping here quite a pleasurable experience. Unfortunately, I probably won't be back, as my job will eventually provide me with scrubs, but I highly, highly, highly recommend this shop.
