I went in today to find an outfit for a play I'm seeing tomorrow night. I have nothing to wear in…read moremy closet at this time because I have gained a lot of weight in a very short amount of time. I entered the shop feeling very uncomfortable in my own skin, looked around, and saw clothes that looked and felt nice, but I wasn't sure what I should try on, what size I should wear, or where to start. I explained my situation to Angel and she took me around the store and helped me to find clothes that I would feel good in. She assured me as that they it was "ok, they're just clothes" as I was tearing up and getting overwhelmed. I tried on several outfits and felt horrible in all of them. I took photos to send to a friend and was trying not to cry. Angel checked on me and encouraged me to come out if I was comfortable. I came out in the next outfit and even though I wasn't happy in it, I loved the feel and the color. She handed me a belt, and a scarf to try. I felt like I was being choked by the scarf so she handed me a thinner scarf. I took photos of those options and sent all the outfits to my friend. With my friend and Angel's encouragement I settled on the last outfit. I had been hesitant to even try on the outfit due to the cost, but it turned out to be 50% off. Even if it hadn't been, I would have splurged. Nobody helps you shop like this anymore, and most clothes fall apart. You get what you pay for. Im trying to learn to accept my new size, and the new way my body interacts with the world with all its limitations. Angel truly made me feel as comfortable as I possibly could during a very vulnerable situation. Yes, they are just clothes, but my body has been through so much 15 months, including multiple surgeries, and subsequent complications. Yesterday the thought of going out to buy a dress made me want to crawl into a hole, and today I left Lark with everything I needed for an evening to celebrate my birthday.

The boutique is very cute and just the environment you want for a special occasion like finding your wedding dress. My daughter's room had a sign that said Welcome [her name], plus pastel macarons and sparkling pink lemonade. The best part was definitely Kristin, though. We didn't feel rushed, and Kristin really listened to our feedback. She looked at my daughter's Pinterest and came up with the most perfect selections. We left feeling really excited, having found the dress and veil, and feeling good about the whole experience. While we went for a sample sale, we walked out having spent a lot more than we planned.

These are real fabrics, real period pieces. You feel completely in character. I've used her for two events and both times the costumes were out of the park. One was for an SNL Halloween party where she had everything I needed to get into the character of Father Guido Sarducci. Then a Renaissance costume to mimic a country peasant woman. I have learned that it's best to call two weeks out as it can take more than one fitting to get your costume right. She is a one woman small business owner wearing many hats, so you need to plan ahead to give her time to help with your costume.
