Less expensive clothing...generally favorable reviews...originally, there were too many really old reviews ( 2008, 2009) for this so I tried to edit them out

Was introduced to Meg by my stylish and seriously picky friend. She has been raving about Meg forever and it has been her favorite boutique for as long as she's been in NY. Meg has something for everyone, as the styles tend to be simple but flattering and constructed of beautiful fabrics. Tailoring is included to make sure each garment is perfect for you - hems, necklines, sleeves, you name it. The shopgirls are awesome and Sara will not only help you find the right look, she'll tell you if something's not quite right so that you leave with only things you love. Every time I go back to pick up something I tailored, I end up finding something else I love, and since I usually get something tailored, you can say I'm going there pretty regularly now! -

The staff was very nice and friendly, and the store was cute and clean. However, the "genre" of clothing carried here was very...niche. If I were a branding specialist I might try to spin their "look" as "mature demure." But alas--I am just some asshole writing a Yelp review about a little boutique that I found odd, which means I'm just going to give you my opinion in a way that I find to be both honest and (at least mildly) humorous:
My actual first thought upon walking in was an image of Sally Fields in a made-for-TV Lifetime biopic about Jackie-0's "golden" years, wearing one of their dresses. If I had to label the demographic that would be best suited for this store on a pie chart, it would be "Ladies-in-their-Late-50s Who Lunch." -

Checked out this shop based on its Yelp reviews, since I happened to be just down the street. I'd somehow never noticed it before, but the store's subdued styling (a good thing) probably had something to do with that. Some classic, well-tailored shapes with contemporary European twists. One astonishingly pushy (close to aggressive) salesperson had me running for the door as soon as I felt that I'd spent a polite amount of time in the shop. The other women working in the shop seemed much more relaxed and friendlier. -

3 reasons this place gets 5 stars.
1. CUSTOMER SERVICE
2. Dress the ANYONE can where
3. CUSTOMER SERVICE x10
1. I had never been to this store before. Walked in was browsing was quickly greeted and asked if I need help. Explained that I was going to an event that night and need something elegant but sassy.
Sarah pulled some great pieces for me to try. We had a real winner with Dress # 3. You're thinking ok what's the big deal most places do that. But do they, really? Miss Sarah listened to what I said I liked and didn't waste my time putting me in dresses that were off the mark. She gave legit feedback which I think is really rare these days. And she was kind (not fake) the entire time.
2. Many of there dresses are UBER user friendly. Especially for busy ladies, ladies who hate to iron, ladies who want to look good dressed up and down. The dress i bought never wrinkles, is machine washable, and a great value considering its a very small brand. Priced right and looks great.
3. Ok here is where meg blows it out of the water. The dress I found had a modest round neck line. I explained that I liked a little more breathing room for the girls errr um Decalotage. Sarah says ok ya let's see we can do a square neck line that would look nice. Hmm its for tonight, its 345pm, no problem, we'll have it tailored and ready by 6pm. Wait its your bday, how about I discount the dress and through in the alterations for free. TRUE STORY.
Ladies, come on, now that is customer service. Meg's rocks and makes life easy. Go there. -

The cutest little boutique on the LES. I love Meg's designs ~ I've gotten so many complements on the coat I bought last season and virtually every piece I've gotten from here. I personally like her asymmetrical and convertible style. The clothing here is classic, yet totally standout! Also, the salesgirls are so sweet and helpful!!
Bonus: They do tailoring onsite. -

$20 sale window? I'm there.
This boutique is a great option for business-casual clothing that won't break the bank. I found some wonderful beige tailored pants here. As for the service, Meg, the designer and owner, was helpful but never pushy.
Perhaps the best part of the store were the transparent photos lining the wall. To create them, Meg stood on a ladder and released a dress over the model, taking a picture of its fall in midair. The fabric was so stiff that it appeared the dress was on a hanger even though it wasn't suspended from anything. The leggy model, even with her face peering through the material of the dress, was secondary to the cloudy pink dress.
If you need some inspiring decor to cushion your shopping experience, think to stop by Meg's. -

I LOVE this shop. I have to avoid walking down 9th street only because it has a magnetic pull that draws me in and forces me to spend more money. That being said, the things I buy are phenomenal. I bought two dresses here that I wore for my wedding and for the wedding celebration. I wanted dresses that I could re-wear and so I chose one fuschia silk cocktail dress and one gold evening dress. They were both beautiful and I received so many comments on them.
Also, I really enjoy walking into this shop because the employees are genuinely there to help you out. As the previous reviewers wrote, the customer service is out of this world and it's nice to be able to come into the store and occasionally find Meg there. If only I had a bigger closet... -

After shopping in SoHo, I thought I was done for the day. I decided to walk down 9th street on my way home. Meg totally caught my eye so I stopped in to browse. I ended up with two dresses!
Service is super friendly. Clothes are unique and Meg will even custom tailor your purchase so it fits just perfect! I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can wear my "made just for me" dresses. : )
Thanks, Meg! I will definitely see ya soon! -

If I ever get married, I'm having my bridesmaids dresses made here. That is, if Meg will have me (her success seems to be exploding right now)! And maybe a wedding dress (does she do that?)
I've been stopping in the last couple of years, and I honestly think the stuff is just getting better and better. (And I think the prices have gone down too, but maybe I'm just becoming desensitized by New York. Anyway, everything is very reasonable).
Meg's style is very classic structure with a modern twist - she has a lot of sculpture-like, asymmetrical details that allow pieces to stay timeless and edgy at the same time. And as someone with a freakishly small ribcage, I also love that they pin your clothes for tailoring right in the store (I came with a friend and we got tailoring for free!).
Also Maria and Meg are both awesome, always greeting you with a smile. They are so much fun that the clientele (and there are always regulars around) always gets pulled into some random and fun conversation. -

What fantastic luck that I was walking along ninth street, saw the store windows and decided to go in.
Fantastic and unexpected clothing for reasonable prices. I got an adorable summer dress that seems very well made (~$100) but there were also women buying more formal dresses that looked beautiful though wildly different. One was made from a micro-suede which I never would've expected. A small shop so when the two fitting rooms were full, the very sweet saleswoman offered me the bathroom which I happily took as I was in a rush. She was very kind, offering honest opinions on which dress would best suit each person and how best to accessorize to give it maximum versatility.
While buying the dress, the lovely selection of jewelery caught my eyes. I selected a pair that I loved--revealing to the nice woman that I was in dire need of building an earring collection--and she let me pick out a new one for free!! So pleased with my Meg finds and with the wonderful service I received there. WIll certainly be back. -

Hands down this place is amazing. The customer service is out of this world. They really go out of their way to treat you. The clothes here are all so stylish and its not too expensive. The quality is amazing..especially on the skirts. I come here every month or so and I always pick up pieces that I fall in love with.
