This was a wonderful surprise. My partner and I were strolling down Frankford on our final…read moreafternoon in Philadelphia and entered this shop on a whim. Some really interesting works here, from the scarves to the jewelry, all from local artists. Creative and lovely, with a definite gothic flair, this alone would have made the trip to Fishtown worthwhile. We walked out with a new necklace, but could easily have found far more on which to happily spend money. The shop keeper also recommended some stores further along Frankford that we might have missed otherwise. Highly recommended.

A Philadelphia-based boutique in the Fishtown neighborhood. Happened upon this clothing shop as I…read morewas walking by and had to drop in to see what unique pieces they had. The curated selection here are made from independent and local designers. I don't like to shop at department stores and always prefer small shops like these. You never know what cool a$$ one-of-a-kind pieces you might find. Kelly greeted me warmly and asked me multiple times if I needed help. Even when I was in the dressing room she called out to me to ask if everything I got was fitting well. Here is my fashion advice...always try on the pieces, even the one you are hesitating on. One of the tops I was questioning turned out to be the one I loved the most. When I told Kelly that I am always on the hunt for sheer tops, she showed me a few other pieces on the rack. She even showed me one of the tops she was wearing on her iPhone to give me a visual. Lol. I found the top I wanted for an upcoming concert...Cannons. Since leaving the store I am feeling regretful that I didn't get the leather belt and bag that I kept eyeing. That bag was sick!! But I will definitely stop by again in the near future. Note: there are also tons of handmade one of a kind jewelry and homemade items like candles, etc.

I went to this dry cleaner to have a dress hemmed and dry cleaned. When I was checking out, I…read morespecifically asked whether the alteration fee included the dry cleaning, and I was told that it did. I picked up the dress about a week and a half later and assumed everything had been completed as discussed. Unfortunately, when I went to get dressed for the event I was attending, I discovered that the dress had not been properly pressed. It was extremely wrinkled and looked like it had not been finished at all. This was especially disappointing because I had specifically confirmed at the time of drop-off that the dry cleaning was included. By the time I realized the issue, I was getting ready for an event and did not have enough time to have the dress properly cleaned and pressed elsewhere. I understand that mistakes can happen, but I expected better communication and attention to detail, especially after specifically confirming what services were included. Unfortunately, this experience was very frustrating and left me disappointed.

Shirl did an amazing job with altering my wedding dress. It was a sample dress so definitely needed…read moresome work. Not only did the dress fit like a glove, but every detail was impeccable. Shirl is also very responsive and I knew I was leaving my dress in great hands. Since Shirl started making her own dresses before she started altering them, she really understands how to adjust a dress in the most flattering way possible, and is a true expert at what she does. A huge bonus is that Shirl has an amazing sense of humor (dry and glorious!) which put me at ease during my fittings. I had plenty of options closer to me when I chose who would alter my dress, but am very happy I made the trek from South Philly to see Shirl!

Steve showed me that the work needed for my jacket wasn't cost-effective and suggested that I return to the suit store for an exchange to a better fit. That made things even more critical as by the I received the new jacket I essentially had a 2-day turnaround. Amazingly, Steve was kind enough to include me in some select items he was doing on Monday, his normal day off. (I wouldn't expect him to do this for everyone.) Even then, he wasn't optimistic that the changes needed for my new jacket would be as effective as he would have liked to see. (It's not his skills but my...uniquely shaped torso, let's say. lol) Amazingly, not only did he complete the jacket and pants (which needed only minor work) in two days as promised, the jacket actually fit *perfectly* and I received many compliments at the function I wore it for. I'm forever grateful to Steve for his help and he has a loyal customer in me going forward.
