This was seriously one of the best shopping experiences I've ever had. I was helping my mom find a…read moreMother of the Bride dress and I couldn't believe how great the owner was with us! My mom had already gone in with a friend a week prior, and Monroe helped her into DOZENS of dresses that were suited to my mom - and getting her into any dress is hard...the owner is just so good with people! My mom is not a girly woman at all, and she rarely wears dresses or anything like this, but Monroe quickly figured out my mom's preferences and showed her dresses that really flattered her figure. She helped her pose and take pictures of the dresses - so many beautiful dresses. When I was with her, we got 1 on 1 attention and the dresses she picked out were gorgeous. We finally went with a stunning black dress with tasteful shoulder cutouts that I honestly would have never thought to pick out myself. I am SO happy with the dress and my mom truly LOVES it too (which is what matters most!). I honestly can't say enough good things; the prices are so affordable and the selections is great and the staff is so wonderful. Thank you again for everything :) my mom is going to look stunning!

They have such a great selection for a small shop and the women that work there bust their asses to make sure you get something that makes you feel and look amazing! We're getting our bridesmaids, and mothers of, dresses there for my wedding, and I'm already picking out dresses for the bridal shower. I definitely recommend it!

THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I EVER EXPERIENCED! Called earlier…read morein the day to see if they had any wedge sandals (needed next day for work event). Riley answered the phone and gave me a quick review of what they had in store and made me realize I better stop in. When I got there, she helped me find the perfect pair. Although they were a half size bigger than what I would have ordered and a different color than I had in mind, they ended up being the perfect Sorel wedge sandal and now I'm obsessed. I also was able to use my 30% off bday coupon, which you can use pretty much everything (excludes Birkenstock and another prestige brand I can't think of). What a great deal! Riley also told me I could "double dip" and head over to Sunshine and Bluebirds (right next door). That's where I found more of the Teleties hair clips. These are so great because they lay flat, which omits the uncomfortable feeling of driving with a clip on the back of your head. Brittany who was working at the store, was beyond friendly and easy to talk to. The customer service alone makes me want to go back to both Research and Design & Sunshine and Bluebirds. Pro tip: add yourself to your mailing list and enter your birthday. You'll get a 30% coupon that I can use at both stores.

In my eyes every piece of mass produced clothing still has life in it, it has a story traveling from person to person which makes it so unique! When you purchase from branded up clothing there will always be a story behind each piece no matter what the brand and you will be helping the planet because 85% of all textiles end up in landfills each year so help me make that statistic better!

When I first began dating my boyfriend, he told me that he'd been looking for a "future eccentric…read moreold lady." Apparently, I am that future eccentric old lady (no argument there). And as such, I think this may be where future (or current) eccentric old ladies in Buffalo go for their fabulous garments. This beautiful store is a colorful collage of aesthetics, textures, prices and pieces, from long, minimalistic jersey dresses to frou-frou formalwear with silk flowers and lace. The accessories, too, run the gamut, from trendy pendants to vintage-y looking pearls (and are showcased beautifully in a variety of frames and clear-top tables). It's very eclectic, yet it it all works and seems to reflect one strong sense of direction. You can imagine every piece being in the same cool chick's closet. And when I say cool, I don't mean someone who looks like she was put together by Rachel Zoe; I mean like someone who brings her own totes to the farmer's market, knows how to pick out a slew of songs on a guitar with some confidence, volunteers for a cool nonprofit on the weekends, and has a decent recipe for hummus that she can make from memory. I can really only lay claim to the latter, but there's still plenty of time for me to evolve into my future self. And as I do, I may just age gracefully into her wearing something from the Dress Shop.

A few weeks ago I visited this shop with intent of purchasing a few new pieces for my wardrobe…read moresince i had heard such great things about the selection here. i was very excited and couldn't wait to see what i could find. Prior to my arrival which was fairly close to the opening of the store, I stopped to get my morning coffee. When i entered the store coffee in hand i was immediately greeted by "you cant have that in here!" Lets start by saying i am not a 7 year old child and will not run around hoping to spill my drink on the dresses, also i was not offered a place to sit it while i shopped i was simply told i can not have it in here. Disgusted with the horrible customer service i left. Simply a "How are you this morning? i'm sorry ma'am but is there anyway you could leave that outside, we don't allow drinks within our store" would have done. The store apparently has great pieces from what i've heard, but unless this staff gets their stuff together their going to be turning more and more people away form their business.

The area was missing a clothing shop with cool, trendy and affordable clothing and gifts. They offer womens's standard and missy sizes along with some kids clothes and accessories. There is a lot to choose from and the price range is affordable, most items are probably between $25-45. Despite what is happening with Covid this shop has taken off and adapted to the challenges we are all facing today. The shop is bright, clean and airy. Everyone inside is wearing a mask and there are contactless pickup and private shopping times available upon request. I personally love that there is a website so I can shop online and pickup in store. Since the boutique is small there are limited quantities of new merchandise. If you are really interested in trying something you can buy it right away online and then can plan a time for yourself to go in and try everything on. I have already made some awesome summer purchases that have a strong rotation in my closet. Aimee, the owner of the shop, is lovely, helpful and has an eye for the next greatest thing. #ThankYouThursday
