I absolutely love this store, Irias and her daughter Beatrice are such awsome people, they went above and beyond to customize my goddaughters 1st communion dress, shoes and accessories, it was like having a personal assistant, Beatrice put everything together perfectly, i just love their customer service,...

Best boutique in town!! Friendly owners, cutest clothes for any event you can think of! They even have something for every age and gender! Also very affordable! Most boutiques you spend $100 for a simple pair of pants or shirt not here! Will definitely be coming back...
