I regret letting that much time go by, because the clothes are so unique and curated so well... you'll never find pieces like these elsewhere! The shop owner, Karen, and her shop assistant Chloe were helpful. Chloe selected some items for me without being pushy. I found a lot of cute pieces (with varying levels of success after trying them on), and one item was so amazing I had to buy it. The prices are a range. I tried on 2 cute tanks and they were $25 and $40. The dress I bought was $74. I don't mind paying a bit more for something that I truly love, especially when it's unique! Some other prices I saw were in the $150-200 range, which is a bit steep... but again, some of the pieces looked like they were one of a kind. Most sizes DO say small, but I'm a size 10 and there were plenty of things that fit me just fine, so I wouldn't assume they cater only to smaller women. I also got a free gift with my purchase- a cute little round wallet! Very fun.

Soka has a wide variety of dresses, and each one is unique! I quickly selected about ten to try on and then found the PERFECT dress. It was quite a bit more money than the on-line dresses, but when you consider your time, it was well worth it. Soka is low key. There was no pressure from her at all to buy a particular dress. She spent a lot of time pinning the dress for alterations to get a perfect flattering fit. If you are frustrated shopping for a mother of the bride dress, definitely give her a try.

This should have been a private discussion. I was the only customer in the store...there was no need for the saleswoman to have this conversation on speaker. It was bizarre. I kept giving her a look to suggest "pls take your conversation private" but she apparently can't read the room. On my way out I told her "I'm leaving because of the conversation you're having right now." I don't need to listen to political BS while I'm shopping. It's supposed to be a respite from all all.
