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.

I went in looking for a cute boutique. Instead I was given nothing but attitude and disrespect from…read moretheir employee Samm. She was incredibly dismissive when something was rang up incorrectly, which I had no control over. The price that was rung up was different than the price marked on the product. The outside portion they have running currently was incredibly disorganized and hard to work with.

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.
