Great styles, moderately priced with both casual and upscale options. The owner is cheery and helpful without being pushy

It was the first time for us to enter this women's dress shop. Right now, they have a lot of linen clothes for the Spring/Summer season. I bought a fun puffy grey dress from the sidewalk sale. My friend bought beautiful silk scarf with red poppies from Germany and a white linen long shirt/ jacket. Everything in in the shop seems unique, carefree and timeless. You really need to try on the clothes, instead of just judging by looking at them on the hanger. My puffy grey dress really makes me happy! I am so glad I tried it on. Thank you Stella and her wonderful staff! read more

Wow! This Boutique has unique clothing from different countries, which makes them different than your ordinary clothing off the rack. The prices vary so you can find something in your budget. The store has a European flair style to it. The owner, Stella, is wonderfully knowledgeable about her clothing lines and will definitely be able to put a wonderful ensemble or wardrobe together for you. You will leave knowing that you have met a new friend and someone that will help with your future wardrobe needs. I have been a client for over 3 years and will remain one forever....a must see stop on your Montana Ave. Walk....Tell her you saw this on Yelp! read more

SUCH A FIND! Estell has amazing, one of a kind knits and joggers in colors and fabrics that are so unique and so flattering! Estell is SO WELCOMING and KIND and it makes it like shopping with a girlfriend. I loved her stuff so much I brought a friend and she bought tons of beautiful things for an upcoming trip. If she's out of your size, JUST ASK! She will get it if at all possible and call you when it arrives- We spent over 2 hours with her and we even got a Starbucks Refresher... WIN WIN! Awesome Linen pieces and silky joggers, just an all around FAB STORE- AND, right next to Rori's organic ice cream... WAHOO! read more

It's a shame that more people haven't taken the time to write a review for this shop yet. The sales woman was more than friendly.... she went out of her way to explain to me how certain items of clothing button, wrap, fasten etc. Today I purchased a really interesting item.....a totally rad, long sleeved, excellent quality t-shirt material, a top that wasn't really a top but an extender to any black t-shirt or any black top that one might have that needs sleeves. It was a totally cool piece of clothing that will cover your arms when it gets cold and it will just look like its automatically part of your top (not a add-on). I was really impressed! It was sitting on a shelf in the back, and I picked it up expecting it to be a T-shirt (very soft) and was surprised and delighted to find out that it was just sleeves! She showed me how it works with any kind of outfit. I purchased the "sleeves", (the tag said it was a company by the name of Charmz, I've never heard of it) and one other item....a white t-shirt with long tassels in front that looked a little "country-western". Many of the items in this store are by independent designers so they are for sure "one-off's" and "only one" of something that you will never see anywhere else. I'm not sure how long this store has been around but I most certainly WILL be back, looking for my next great "find". Apparently many articles of clothing are also european-based as well. Good job Estell Boutique! I like your style! read more

Whenever I am visiting my daughter in Santa Monica, Estell Boutique is always my first stop! Half my closet is filled with great pieces from this adorable boutique. Stella has always helped me put together an outfit for every occasion! She remembers my style and is eager to show me something that has just arrived. She is honest and sincerely wants to find something that makes me feel confident and comfortable. She has a rack outside of clothing on sale that draws you inside! I can never just walk by...everything she has is very different and easily coordinates with outfits I currently have. Prices are reasonable and her staff is very helpful! I always look forward to my next visit! read more

Great customer service, the owner is friendly and very helpful! Prices are a little steep for my taste, but the clothing is high quality and very comfortable. read more

I HIGHLY recommend Estell Boutique to get anything from casual outfits to dresses. I've been coming here for years and what is so great is that the new items I purchase can be coordinated well with the items I purchased in previous seasons. The owner, Stella, does a great job of listening to my needs and helps select things that work well for my body type. I always get compliments because the items are unique and great colors. I've purchased everything from clothes to accessories (camisoles, jewelry, purses, scarfs). I just wish she sold shoes! ;-) read more

Definitely worth the trip! This is a small shop near the boutique area of Montana Avenue, between ~8th and ~16th streets. The shop is actually shared with another lady who mixes custom scented creams and candles. It's very small when you walk in, but don't let that sway you. It's a shame that all the pictures posted on yelp thus far are of models showing off the stores merchandise. What's wonderful about this store is that she had a wide range of casual, trendy clothes that are well-made and fit a range of sizes. It's the only store I've been to in Santa Monica where I feel like all my friends could go shopping together and find at least one item of clothing they like, regardless of size. She had gorgeous outfits for the fittest, smallest model-like body, and wonderful flattering pieces for plus-sized women...and something for everyone in between! The store is staffed by Estell herself, who is very accommodating and will let you try on anything, even if you make piles on the counter trying to find just the right outfit. As a plus size woman with a difficult fit, I take finding pieces I love seriously and Estell worked with me to understand my style and bring me things that would work. Everything is affordably priced, comparable to mall prices. It's a definite departure from the ASTRONOMICAL prices of other boutiques on this street. Most of the fabrics are natural, unless the goal is specifically to contrast or add stretch to an item. She says she buys most of her items from/in Europe, which doesn't really matter to me, but it does mean the cuts and styles are different from what you see in the typical shops and so it's more fun to shop. read more

Great little find! I stumbled upon this place while taking a stroll to my favorite coffee shop on Montana ave. I love the simple elegant style and was surprised that I could actually afford it (stuff on this street is sooo expensive generally). Also, I loved Stella - she's the owner. She was super friendly and actually spent time helping me pick out an outfit and try stuff on, sort of like what I imagine shopping must've been like back in the 1950s. I left the store with a cute little wrap-around dress, which I wore this evening and got tons of compliments on. Only drawback is there's not a lot of parking - just two spots in the back. But hey, I guess there's always street parking (but pay those meters - Santa Monica is notorious for parking tickets!). read more

Took my mom here for Mothers Day. Not only did she love the clothes, but I had a great time waiting there with my dog George. I have never enjoyed shopping, but Stella and Sabine were so friendly we went back the next day! read more

I was looking for a place to shop that had bigger, more interesting sizes/clothing. I walked in and Stella was friendly and inviting. She even offered me her parking space in the back so I could walk around the neighborhood. How's that for service? I ended up buying this very cool sweater/top/wrap and a sweater dress. Both are flattering and are made of very nice fabric. I would recommend this place to someone looking for something unique, funky and flattering! read more

I had the best experience here! Lovely old school service plus honest feedback about how the clothing I tried, looked. I bought something I would have never thought to try and it's lovely. Nice selection of comfortable, stylish looks with a European flair. Best store on Montana IMHO! read more

I love Estell Boutique! I live in Orange County and make a trip to this boutique in Santa Monica once a season to fill my wardrobe. The dresses they carry are really unique. The owner is super sweet and helps me every time to pick what best flatter my figure. I always get a lot of compliments on the clothes I buy. read more

i love this boutique. All my clothes are from Estell. I get so many compliments. The fashions are very unique and comfortable and the prices are reasonable....quality is great. When you walk into the store, the owner, Stella or the friendly staff, would make you feel comfortable immediately. They are very honest with their opinions and will make sure you leave the store with the styles that are most suitable for your body. I trust them 100% with their styling tips and suggestions. read more

LOVE IT! Unfortunately can't shop there that often because I don't live in Cali, so that's the only negative-although, you can order stuff on-line, but I really like going in there cuz of the owner! She's sweet and honest with you about what works for you and what doesn't, so you don't feel like she just wants to sell you something. The style is fabulous, it's European chic, modern yet classy...good prices...You definitely have to check it out! read more
