had this to say:
Not only is this boutique filled with super quality, stylish, cute plus size clothing, they have the kindest and most helpful staff and owners! When you’re in this store, you’re the star. Gone are any insecurities or doubts about your body- they’re going to help you and have you walk out strutting down the block!
Side quests- Need to get yourself in a corset? Look no further, they can do that! Last minute need some frilly undies? You know what, they do that too!
In all honesty, support this shop and shop their outlet next door too for some great deals! ✨

The sales ladies helped me find a dress for my son's wedding and a new bra. They were helpful and attentive to what I needed. Never had professional help with finding a good fitting bra before. They were wonderful. I'll be back!
