We took my daughter's wedding gown for alterations to Penelope Boutique. We already trusted Parveen, the owner of the boutique, because we had purchased dresses from her previously and knew her to be very warm and professional. She has always provided us very personalized service. Yolanda and Parveen did an exquisite job tending to the quick timeline on a gown that was to be worn bareback on my daughter's horse. Yolanda even added a bustle. Both she and Parveen were detail oriented and took great care of the entire wedding party. Parveen designed matching shawls and they altered our gowns for the wedding party including updating a 25 year old couture gown for the matron of honor. We are very appreciative that they took such great care of us and helped my daughter to feel extra special on her wedding day.

Bought a prom dress here last year and it was so pretty. The lady was very kind and made me feel good about myself. Can't wait to shop for one this year again!!

My daughter just picked up her senior prom dress from Penelope Boutique and it is GORGEOUS! My daughter is pretty particular about what she wears and her dress is classy, elegant, unique, and feminine… all of the qualities she wanted in her dress. The alterations and added side slit that Par suggested we’re spot on. Turnaround time from our first time visiting the store to getting her dress was just a couple of weeks. Par is very welcoming and friendly and very honest about costs, fabric, alterations, etc. She knows what would look good on your body that you are blessed with and will let you know why one style and/or fabric, color, and cut will look good or not. Penelope Boutique will be our first place to go the next time a special dress is needed.

Couple days ago, while shopping in a store, I noticed a group of young high school girls who were focused on making TikTok videos. The saleswoman, who was extremely kind and professional, asked them politely to refrain from making videos in the store due to privacy concerns. However, the girls immediately began bullying the saleswoman, telling her that she was only a salesperson and that they could try on as many dresses as they wanted. They also made it clear that they had no intention of buying anything and continued to create noise and laugh at her. Eventually, they left the store. I was extremely disturbed by the way these girls treated the saleswoman. She was a classy woman who did not deserve to be bullied in this manner. To my surprise, I have noticed more than 10 or 15 reviews from that day from seemingly girls and a couple of guys. I did not see any other guys in the store that day, only these teenage TikTok girls. I hope that these girls are held accountable for their behavior and that Google takes notice of this incident. It is unacceptable to treat anyone in such a disrespectful and rude manner. This store is popular within the community and we have been customers for ever 25 years.
