Absolutely disgraceful experience. My girlfriend went into Sewfisticated in the middle of the day…read moreafter a wardrobe malfunction, just looking to purchase a bit of fabric and some safety pins so she could quickly fix her dress before an event. Instead of helping, the older man and woman running the store were condescending, rude, and outright dismissive. They belittled her, treated her horribly, and then chased her out of the store telling her to "go elsewhere." This wasn't at closing time -- it was broad daylight, and the store was open. My girlfriend is one of the sweetest, most soft-spoken people you'll ever meet. For her to come back to the car in tears says everything about how cruel and unnecessary their behavior was. This is the exact reason people are abandoning small retailers for online shopping not to mention the cost savings. When you treat customers with contempt, you lose them forever. Sewfisticated should be ashamed, and I can't imagine this kind of service keeping them in business much longer.

I arrived in Boston needing some last-minute items for an event, and I got lucky because this place…read morecame in clutch! Parking: Mostly street parking in the area. Feels: I'm not too familiar with Boston, but I was told this is one of the original areas of the city. There are lots of businesses and apartments nearby, so the neighborhood feels lively. The shop itself is pretty vibrant and spans two floors. They carry a wide range of apparel--from vintage pieces to newer items and even costumes. Customer Service: Awesome. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Overall: 5 stars. They had exactly what I needed, right when I needed it. If you're looking to refresh your wardrobe on a budget or find some unique costume pieces, this is definitely a spot worth checking out. Tip: Check out their "by the pound" section--you can score some really great deals there.

Yo....Garment District in Cambridge, MA completely flipped the script on me. Why was I expecting…read morethe whole 2 floors to look like a damn thrift dungeon with clothes on the floor??? Instead, Garment D. Is Organized, spotless and straight-up vibey. Two full floors to roam. Hot-pink walls, black-and-white checkerboard floors like stepping into an 80s music video. It's quirky, loud and proudly vintage. Everything's sorted with precision: pants with pants, denim with denim, tops with tops. These folks don't play around. And yeah, the majority of the clothing here is all use. But like I always do- I buy my stuff, take it home (or the cleaners), wash it and it snaps back looking like new. By the way- they do carry some new items- as in not used as well. My daughter and I bought some vintage denims, sweaters and a few other things. Zero mess. Zero stress. 100% unexpected.

I came here today for a sewing class with Eva and it was absolutely amazing! I'm so glad I signed…read moreup for the class because Eva taught me so much about my machine. I got my sewing machine for Christmas and tried watching many youtube videos and couldn't get the hang of it. This class taught me on how to use my machine, the different types of needles, and fabrics we can use. I didn't know any of this stuff before taking this class, and didn't think it would be such an in-depth class but glad it was because it was super informative and now I feel super comfortable with my machine now. I will be signing up for more classes in the future with Eva! She was an amazing instructor!

The original class was great - very competent and knowledgeable teacher, she was professional, kind…read moreand caring - great mix of ability and personality. I did a multi hour private class for which I paid a premium, I felt OK about it and good about my decision afterwards. I planned on returning to continue with the same teacher, however when I called to arrange, I was told that the teacher had been dismissed. The lady I spoke with explained that the dismissal was not for ability or quality of teaching, that the studio ensured the quality of teaching always met the studios high standards. When pushed however I was told that the dismissal came as a surprise to other staff members, but was also not a surprise as the studio owner requires 'yes' teachers to all requests, and that he is VERY commercially minded. This teacher was clearly NOT a yes person, just very competent and a thoroughly nice person! What also surprised me was the extent to which she supported the studio, despite what seems to have been one way from the owner! So a very disappointing conclusion, maybe I will be able to arrange private classes with her, but for anyone considering the studio for classes - buyer beware and don't believe the very believable owner who will say anything to get the business and revenue. It's a shame he behaves in this way, but I strongly believe it can only be the start of the end for the studio

I had asked about the types of stones for a few bracelets I was interested in and they replied with "I don't know.". lastly as I was leaving the store, the girl raised her voice for me to stop and said ." hey you are wearing our bracelets!" and started walking towards me. at which point I turned around and held up my wrist. she was correct, i was wearing two bodhi seed bracelets WHICH WERE MINE. I walked into the store with them on as I OWN them. to the store owners: take caution with your accusatory tone of voice before you mistakenly accuse someone of shoplifting.
