Came across an IG post about this boutique. Clicked their link in bio and surprised to find Mardi…read moreGras apparel items for $10! Quickly placed an order and couldn't wait to visit the store. Within hours received email that my order was ready for pickup. Saturday I went to pick up my order and take peep around the store. The ladies were very inviting. Warm welcome wishes when each customer entered, associates through out the store offering assistance & if anyone would like to start a dressing room. This day they were having a warehouse sale and soooo many items were $10 - $20. Too bad for me the items I really like did not fit me. I was surely ready to spend more coins!! Overall it so nice to have found this boutique and I'll be back for my next vacay outfits. Keep up the amazing customer service ladies!!!

This is so great for a midsized girl like me that is sometimes a large, sometimes an XL. Most boutiques don't carry XL. I also appreciate that there are midsize mannequins so I can visualize how the clothes might look. The prices are also really reasonable! Think like $30-50 per item. Some other stores nearby are like $300 an item. The lady working was very nice but not intrusive, she let me browse at my own pace but let me know she was there if I needed anything. I'm definitely coming back next time I need to treat myself to something cute.

They have the most chic and fashionable items and then there's the dresses and hats. They're another level everyone. I bought an amazing coat/jacket and it's my go-to item for the season in Ohio. I know for their dresses they offer free alterations so that's extremely valuable and what a great service? They also offer gift wrapping in store which really and truly helps with half the battle when buying gifts I think.

I always ship home (it saves tax and my suitcases don't get overloaded) and when the box arrives it feels like Christmas morning.

As a bonus, she will measure you and make a dress to your own measurements. She has St. John knit fabrics she purchased when St. John was sold and changed their focus.

The delicate, beautiful fascinators with ostrich feathers are something to behold! These will make you stand out in a crowd of parade and Mardi Gras ball revelers! I believe the woman who owns the shop makes these on the premises as there's a huge sewing studio in the back of the store. IE, these are not coming off a shipment from China. There's so much to tempt the eye and wallet here. Prices are more than fair. I'll be back soon for a coat that I can't get out of my mind. It has to happen.

This shop is perfectly perfect in every way and it makes me want to throw a big shindig, just so I will have a excuse to spend all of my money here. There are so many charming things: sparkly dresses, pastel dresses, beautiful costume jewelry, furs, hats, feather wigs and a tiara, just to name a few. Setting foot here was like visiting your great aunt's house, provided she has lots of style. I couldn't quite tell if this shop was a consignment shop or not because all of the items are "one of a kind", in the sense that there is only one of each thing offered. For example, I found a beautiful dress that would be perfect for New Years Eve, but it wasn't in my size. Despite that, I love the feeling that you are in a fabulous closet packed with vintage inspired treats. I didn't buy anything to do, but I do intend to pick up some sparkly hair accessories as the end of the year approaches.

I was pleasantly surprised when I made a Christmas return to the Dante St. store. The sales women were very helpful and personable and the store was much larger than I thought. They have everything from formal wear (maybe just because it's carnival season) to casual wear and PJs. The clothing styles don't completely mesh with my own, but I did find a couple of very cute jackets that I'm sure I'll love for years to come. Plus right now is their big sale so they were 70% off which allowed me to purchase both rather than one.

DO NOT SHOP HERE. This shop stole $200 from me…read more I bought a dress here at the end of April for $200. I took the dress home, then found out the event I had been planning to wear it to was canceled. The following Friday I went back to the store to return it. No one was there, despite the signage and the website saying the store should be open. I called the number on the website and a different number on the front door asking when their hours were. Didn't hear back. Okay, fine. I sent them an email. Never heard back. I went back to the store the following Sunday. They're closed despite the signage, again. So finally on May 16th I bring the dress down there a third time, on a Saturday this time, and they're open. They explained that they don't usually do returns, but that they'd allow me to make a return this time, in exchange for a gift certificate, but it would take a few days to process. They wrote down my email, phone number, physical address, and said they would get back to me by the following Tuesday at the latest. I also left the dress with them, which now I see was a stupid move. It's June 2nd! I've called them! I've emailed them! I've physically gone down there, and they were, surprise, closed when they said they would be open! They have obviously not responded to anything. So: I don't have a dress. They have my $200. They're not returning my calls. What am I supposed to think, here? I'm obviously never buying anything from them again, and I strongly suggest you don't either.

A stylishly dressed mannequin caught our attention as we walked by the shop. We decided to stop in, peruse the shelves, and chat with the manager. We didn't end up making a purchase, since it is pricy for an unnecessary purchase. If I lived in the area, I'd likely return here when in need of outfits for special occasions.
