"Your dresses should be tight enough to show you're a woman and loose enough to show you're a…read morelady."- Edith Head For someone used to wearing pants, dress shopping can be a little intimidating. This is doubly true when shopping outside your realm of knowledge- in this case, sari shopping. This is a world governed by fabrics and stones and stitching, where pricing can fluctuate wildly depending on how aggressively you deride their sticker price. If I were a raccoon or a crow, I'd be in shiny-thing heaven; as a Detroiter with a wardrobe ready for corporate finance, all the bling was a little overwhelming. The patterns and colors seemed so brazen, and in my mind sequins were relegated to Vegas showgirls and grandmas with mad Bedazzler skills. Still, with some expert assistance, I took the plunge and tried some things that were way out of my comfort zone, and they looked AMAZING. Maloncho is directly across from the heavy-hitter of sari shops, Rima Sari Center. As such, they differentiate themselves by specializing in more affordable outfits, in a much more customer friendly setting. Maloncho is bright and maneuverable, service is friendly and attentive, and bargaining is more readily accepted- everything that Rima is not. The most expensive saris are around $300, compared to the $300-$1000 at Rima. The dressing room is large and well lit, perfect for trying on multiple outfits and giving yourself a once over before coming out to show your companions. The rule of thumb at the sari shops in this area is that the price on the sticker is just a starting point for negotiations- you should expect at least $20-30 dollars off a cheap dress, and about 40% off an expensive dress. Also, the first discounted price they give you is NOT the best price that can be had. Ask a few times for the best price or for additional things thrown in for free (tailoring or jewelry), or simply make an offer. Tailoring at this location should run between $5 and $10 dollars and take roughly 24hrs to complete, well worth it for a garment to fit perfectly. For a bold red sari, two sets of bangles, and tailoring to take it in a bit, my total bill came to $70- perfectly reasonable for a special ensemble to wear to my best friends wedding. True location differs from what is listed on yelp: 12164 Conant St.

Yesterday, Friday November 8, 2024 I sang songs written by author/musician Heather Buchanan and Tracy Kash for Heather's newest novel titled, VICTORS. It is about Black musicians who went to France to help fight in World War I. Ultimately, they were largely responsible for our victory and when they weren't fighting they were playing music, sharing the new jazz sound which influenced not only Europe but the world. My dress, purse, fan, long strand of pearls and headpiece, all purchased from the Peacock Room in the Park Shelton were a smash hit! And as always the ladies who work there had exquisite eyes for helping me put the perfect look together. This place is a gem! Thank you again! Dr. Angela Celeste May

Once she knows your size and style, you'll be all set! She knows her clients! This store was voted the best resale shop in Michigan. When walk into this beautifully decorated and well-stocked store it doesn't look or feel like a typical resale shop. She has an eye for couture, current trends, vintage, and formal wear in sizes from extra small to XXL. No matter what your size, you'll find fashionable clothing. She also carries accessories (scarves, jewelry, purses, etc...) One of her mottos is "being broke ain't cute" and her clothing is priced right. If you catch a sale, don't sleep on it. I've gotten many designer dresses around $30-$35. Of course there are items below and above this price! She usually does a weekly FB "live" so that you can see some of her mostly one of a kind inventory. There are dressing rooms inside with adequate space and full-size mirrors. There is still a mask policy. So wear one or she had them for you at the door. There's paid parking on 9 mile and in the back lot.
