| - I really like this store for its style direction and selection. I've found several pieces I love, including a swimsuit, gloves, and a beautiful dress for work. All of the pieces have been of great quality and worth the mid-high boutique prices. The selection ranges from costume-y vintage-style to modern with vintage inspiration, which is great since I'm not into dresses that look like they're actually from the 50s, but I love wearing something that reminds me of that era. I love supporting Toronto boutiques, too; there's a thriving fashion community in this city that I think is amazing.
My only reservation is that I've usually felt like I'm bothering the person in the store when I go in. While the service has always been good, it's also perfunctory, almost to the point of rudeness at times - I feel like small businesses should really be more enthusiastic about the people buying stuff from them, but I've never had someone come up and ask what I'm looking for or why, grab the stuff I'm holding to take to a change room, or suggest other options. I've asked for an opinion while shopping alone and only had the most basic answer. Once, I asked about the swimsuits and was just pointed to the (one, overcrowded) rack that held them - I accidentally knocked over the half-mannequin that was stuffed on the front before the sales associate helped me, and I was the only person in the store!
In fact, I've only ever had one conversation while I was there that involved more than me awkwardly babbling in an attempt to be polite, which was (while buying gloves):
ME: Yeah, all I've got are these mittens right now and I figured they weren't that attractive.
SALESPERSON: Yeah [unimpressed laugh], no kidding.
ME: ...yeah.
Honestly, you can order most of the stuff they carry online - they even have their own online store, or hit Modcloth or other vendors - or buy it at other Toronto boutiques. If you're looking for a fun shopping experience, I honestly wouldn't recommend coming here; over the last year this has consistently been my experience. I mean, maybe the person who's there has some kind of problem with me personally, or maybe they have social difficulties? But it's an upper-mid-range boutique and neither of those are really excuses for uncomfortable customer service. Go for the selection, knowing you won't leave feeling great about your experience, or order online.
