I bought both my junior and senior prom dresses at Mia's. She has an incredible selection of…read moredresses that you won't find anywhere else. If you want to stand out with a unique dress, you should definitely check out Maria's store. I don't know why I bothered shopping at other stores first! Also, Maria puts your dress style in a registry for your high school so she won't sell the same dress to two people going to the same prom. If you are a teenager, she prefers that an adult come into the store with you. This seems kind of annoying, but she's had problems in the past with girls trying things on and accidentally ripping the dresses with no way to pay for it. Some of her dresses are very expensive, but the two that I bought were around $300. Maria has a wide range of prices, and she is sometimes willing to negotiate. Maria really knows how the dresses are supposed to fit you. She'll help you put the dresses on and show you how they are supposed to be altered. She will usually schedule an alteration appointment with you. My junior year, however, one of her seamstresses quit with little notice and I had to get my dress altered somewhere else. The alterations can be pretty expensive, depending on the dress. For both proms, I took my dresses to my local tailor.

Accidentally walked in here and bought a purse I didn't need so what's not to like?…read more The lady who worked there was lovely, it's a packed little store with a little bit of everything.

Check out Mesh's IG too. So good. Their hours can vary so maybe call first if you're going out of your way to go. Otherwise if you're In the Passyunk area make sure you pop in.

But I was appalled with how I was treated by one of the employees there. I had been chatting with one of the owners, I think- Ariel? She was sweet as could be and shared my enthusiasm over an amazing eggplant wool dress and coat from the fifties. She told me the price and after admiring it I decided to try it on. By this time, Ariel had stepped out and another female employee stepped in. I remarked to her that it was so beautiful and I'd like to try it on, to which she sneered, very obviously looked me up and down, and said, "well, it only really fits a size 2...". Not that it makes any difference what size I am, but I'm between a 4 and 6 and was appalled at her rudeness. I asked the waist measurement (it was definitely larger than a 2) and she didn't know. When I said I'd like to give it a try, she scoffed and said, "well, it's $250, so don't force it". Excuse me?! How dare she say something like that! I'm not a child who is unaware of the delicacy of vintage clothing, and am not disillusioned about my size- I did try it on and it all fit except for the bust, because the waist was very high up on the dress and I have a long torso. The girl asked if it fit, and I told her the bodice was too short, and she replied that the original owner was very short and petite. That's what she should've told me about the size-I'm tall, around 5'9", and it would be very obvious it wouldn't fit if it was tailored for a short woman. Instead she made it about weight with her tone and comments. She then tried to get me to try on the original clothing line, saying it goes well with an "hourglass" shape, but I was so furious and embarrassed that I left. No one should be commenting on anyone's size, no matter how veiled, and to assume I would damage the garment? Uncalled for, unacceptable, and just plain mean. It was not said out of concern for the dress- it was malicious and very ill intended. I also felt like she was insinuating I couldn't afford it, anyway. I'll not return to be treated to poorly, and that's a shame, because this shop has potential.

However the most exciting bit is the original Earl Salko lines of clothes by Ariel, who is always there at the sewing machine and helping people find something. I bought a dress here after admiring the simple lines and unfussy design of a dress in the window. I didn't have time to try it on, and when it didn't look just right (too shiny for daytime wear) I brought it back and Ariel exchanged it for a more work-appropriate dress, no problem. Everyone who works here is super sweet and goes out of their way to help you in a non-intrusive manner. Joyously recommended to fans of vintage and super-simple, locally made clothes.

HOWEVER, major turn off: sales girls following you around ! I am just like Molly M., I can stay in a store for a long time but not this one because they are just hawking you. I once was trying on something in the fitting room and I wanted to come out and show my boyfriend but when I first peeked my head out, there were 2 sales girls also waiting outside staring at my door! too awkward for me, so i bought it without showing him. Is it bad for me to say this ? But being that it's an asian owned/worked store, it's kind of normal that they follow you around like that -__- I've had many of these experiences.. even in Bangkok.
