However, I can't give this store more than 3 stars. While they have nice clothing - at the time I visited, they carried absolutely ZERO anything in size XXL. I wanted to buy some muscle shirts and t-shirts. Everything they carry is in size small and medium.

I had a really fun time shopping here!…read more I was in Parksville for a conference at Tigh-Na-Mara. We had just driven in from a few days in Tofino, and I realized I hadn't really packed anything too appropriate for a conference with my coworkers and colleagues. Oops. Emergency dress shopping time! Sometimes, I am afraid to step foot into adorable boutiques, because I am borderline plus-size and often feel like I'm being judged a la Pretty Woman in this type of shop. This was a refreshing experience! The owner helped me pick out lots of adorable things to try on, most of them fit, and I ended up with two fabulous dresses that are now wardrobe regulars, as well as the most comfortable pair of bamboo leggings I could have ever imagined. I strongly considered going back after the conference to buy them in different colors and lengths. I had to hold myself back from all the gorgeous accessories and jewelery on offer, but it did make me a little sad. This boutique would be right at home in Victoria - the fact that I found it up in unassuming little Parksville with an amazing owner with a flair for stocking fabulous things just puts it right over the top for me.

The ladies had some successful browsing/shopping: Mom -- a lovely, semi-sheer, colourful (reversible too!!), summer-wear dress, and for daughter -- an attractive, light & colourful, blouse top. Each of their selections got a big "wow, and I like" from me!! Looking forward to summer and seeing them in each!! :-) Fun and enjoyable visits to this fine women's fashion shop in Harrison, and some cool, neat, and 'cool' findings came home!!

They were all arranged by size, so shopping was fairly easy, although I never knew before how far off dress sizes are from swimsuit sizes. I had to try on a couple of things that were just tiny on me before I figured out what size of swimsuit I should have been looking at. I thought the saleslady could have been a little more on the ball with the sizes; she was nice enough, but definitely hands-off when it came to helping me find something. It could have been that she knows few women enjoy swimsuit shopping and decided to hang back unless I sounded a specific cry for help. Anyway, I was left at leisure to try on what I liked. It was nice to just be able to throw the rejects in a bucket in the changeroom, rather than try to figure out how they went back on their hangers. I did eventually narrow the field down to two, but thought it was strange that when I went to pay for the chosen suit, the clerk looked at me and asked, "You know this is the more expensive one? Did you look at the price tag?" Ummm, yes - and I'm taking it, right? Kind of an odd question. Although I'm impressed that she knew the prices on her stock that well. Kind of makes me want to go back and see what other swimwear knowledge is stored up in there.
