Dare I say one of, if not the best small business I've been to. Prices are average. Same as what you'd pay online, but with the bonus of supporting a small business and getting what you need same day. Like some others have said- I had no idea this place was so close to me. There isn't really any big signs and it's in a small plaza across from Ross. I've probably passed by it 1,000 times lol. Definitely a gem in the rough place you have to search out. When I went it wasn't very busy and so the lady was able to give me amazing one on one care. I will be back to get re-fitted for new pointes since getting more advanced. Don't hesitate to stop by, some of the sweetest souls work there EDIT AS OF 1/19/26- I had the pleasure a few days ago to attend the R-Class pointe shoe fitting here. Jen was amazing and the staff was so nice as always! I absolutely love my RC20s and can't wait to use them in a class.

The first and only suit I tried on was the one I purchased. She nailed my taste, my size, my shape, what works and what doesn't work for my body in less than 2 minutes. I've never seen anything like this: the woman has a unique, niche talent that women everywhere should be taking advantage of. I really appreciate her candid personality. She is very matter of fact and will not sugarcoat something that isn't there. That said, she will pay compliments where compliments are due. :) I trust her 24 years of experience. I can't wait to go back for more! I'm sending my mom, and all of my girlfriends here immediately. I want everyone to bask in the Abbe's Place glory!

And the selection of shoes, leotards, and warmups is fantastic, thoughtfully curated for dancers of all levels. A special store.

Went in today for the first and last time. Upon opening the door, I was hit with such a strong…read moremusty/mildewy odor. I can not imagine how this odor would ever wash out of the clothing. I did look around, just out of curiosity, but that odor was too overwhelming to even consider trying on anything. I can't figure how anyone can stand to be inside the place for more than a few minutes. It's atrocious. As for the staff, there were 2 older ladies greeting guests and a young lady at the register. When the older ladies asked if they could help me find something, I mentioned it was my first time stopping in and we'd just had lunch across the street, so I'm just browsing. The dark haired lady asked what we had and if we liked it. I said we'd been going weekly for the last 4-5 weeks and everything has been excellent. The lighter haired lady interjected (I didn't get to tell the other lady what we ate), saying she'd been there when they first opened (a year or so ago?). I asked if she liked it and she got quite agitated and said "NO!" I asked "Why? What did you have?" She went off on a tirade about how she "asked for a steak sandwich and it didn't come with sauce!" I asked "Sauce?" She continued "yes! I've NEVER seen a steak sandwich without SAUCE! I asked 'what am I supposed to put on it, then?!' And they told me ketchup! I wanted SAUCE! They told me they didn't have that!" She kept repeating that she'd never seen a steak sandwich without sauce. I told her "Well, they're not a pizza shop, so if they don't make things with sauce, they wouldn't have it and, also, that would be called a pizza steak -- a regular steak sandwich does not come with sauce." I made sure to repeat that we'd gone there every week lately and everything we've had has been excellent. She then claimed they charged her $2.50 for water and didn't believe me that I got ice water served in a large cup for free. Hoo boy! This lady is a piece of work. BTW, I don't know what the menu looked like when the place first opened but, in case she's reading this, they DO have a pizza steak on the menu now. I should have told her that, by HER logic, people should leave her a bad review bc she doesn't sell, say... Levi's and they wanted Levi's! Such a ridiculous reason to tell people you didn't like a place! Just like saying you didn't like a restaurant bc you wanted something they do not serve! But yeah... I would give her ZERO STARS if that was an option. Because her store reeks terribly and her attitude leaves a lot to be desired! Prices are ridiculous, too. Oy.

They proceeded to bring me gowns in the $700-$2,500 range, with sleeves and tried to squish me into dresses 2 sizes too small. It turns out that they never had anything in my size. The price point is very high considering that this building is very beat up from the outside and the inside is not much better. I was wearing sweats and sneakers and the staff gave me the once over from head to toe. It felt like the scene in Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts is pre-judged from her appearance.
