From the moment I walked in,…read moreDenise and her staff welcomed me with such genuine warmth and enthusiasm that I immediately felt comfortable and at ease. Denise has an incredible ability to understand exactly how you're feeling. She could tell what I loved (and didn't love) just from my facial expressions. She carefully selected gowns that perfectly matched my style, and when I finally put on "the one," we all instantly knew, Denise included. I've been back to the Persnickety Bride countless times since then because Denise is also creating my wedding invitations, and they are absolutely beautiful. Every visit has been such a positive experience, and the entire staff consistently makes me feel welcomed, comfortable, and truly special. I cannot recommend the Persnickety Bride enough. Thank you to Denise and her amazing team for helping me find my dream dress and for designing such stunning wedding invitations!

If I could give this review five more stars, I absolutely would!…read more The Persnickety Bride has been a dream from start to finish. As a curvier bride, I was definitely intimidated to start wedding dress shopping because of the sizing industry, but Denise and her team completely changed that for me. They were so welcoming, so kind, and honestly made the whole experience fun instead of stressful. When I went to try on dresses, I ended up finding my dream dress! Their selection is beautiful, thoughtfully curated, and not at all overwhelming. The boutique itself feels homey and personal, which made the experience even more special. From the very beginning, everyone I worked with went above and beyond. Cecile helped me find my dress, and Emmy guided me when I picked it up and chose my veil--they were both absolutely wonderful. Patient, kind, and genuinely excited for me, they made the process so smooth and enjoyable. I cannot recommend The Persnickety Bride enough to any bride--whether you're in Fairfield, New Haven, Putnam County, or even farther away, this is worth the trip. You simply won't find a better experience than this one!

Most of the items I have purchased have been new with tags, which is a huge plus! Leslie offers wonderful service and is friendly to chat with when browsing the racks. She also offers online virtual shopping several times a week which is fun. They are new arrivals that you can see before they reach the racks and there is always something fun! From jewelry to purses, shirts and dresses, there is always something new and I almost never walk out without finding something I need/want.

I was not greeted, I was not approached. When I asked a question, I barely got eye contact. Some of the merchandise looked more worn than I'd expect to see in a higher end consignment shop. There were several Michael Kors bags (which are fairly common and not expensive new). I was looking at and very interested in a LV bag and a Prada wallet, but was never asked if I needed any help. I was wearing casual clothes running errands on a Saturday, but I had a lot of money to spend. I was surprised and disappointed after spending over 30 minutes or so.

Fabulous Fashion & Consignment will have you coming back on a weekly basis to purchase treasures…read moreyou never thought of buying in a regular retail store. Nestled on the first floor of a house, Jewell welcomes you into her business and each time it feels like you are in a friend's home. There are five rooms you can browse through. Each room is decorated with eclectic novelties which you can also purchase. The first room houses women's shoes, jewelry, and a sale rack. Outfits are tastefully displayed, but do not stay up long as the items become favorites of customers. A second room contains shirts, blouses, sweaters, scarves, and a surplus of boots perfect for the fall season. Another room is exquisite! It's like being in an expensive boutique where beautiful dresses, gowns, shoes, and accessories are sold for a fraction of the price you would pay otherwise. The last clothing room has racks of pants, tops, jackets, and coats available in all sizes. Treats are awaiting to be eaten in the last room which is the kitchen. What a perfect venue for displaying household goods & holiday items. I've been a customer of Fabulous Fashions since Jewell opened her first store. Thank goodness she moved closer to me! I rarely leave the store without buying an item or two or three. I've found myself running back to the store on the same day to purchase an item I passed up the first time, not wanting anyone else to buy it. You'll leave the store with your purchases wrapped in tissue paper and placed in a beautiful flowered gift bag tied with raffia and a signature Fabulous Fashion card you'll be sure to share with a friend.

Shakespeare once penned "to thine own self be true." i would pen this as "keep thine own manure to thyself." have been going here for years BECAUSE ITS UNUSUAL.BECAUSE ITS HIGH END. yet nature called this time. when i asked about a restroom they pointed me to the back where the porta potties are. the first one i opened was simply a predessor of what was to come. the other two left me w an impossible choice. i was trying not to dry heave entering the chosen one which was a slim comparison of the lesser of the other 2 evils. by the time i got to the front entrance where the car was parked i was bent over the car holding onto dear life with persistant vomiting onto the gravel. i felt so pretty. my friends would not go to lunch as planned as their description of my dryheaving in the car & my green face did not lend itself to eating. to not describe these portolets is not spareing you dear reader, but myself from the visuals that would prompt unyielding dryheaving every. single. time. that i think about this.my problem with this: i have a pretty strong stomach. my dad in the medical field would come home for dinner & while we were eating could easily talk about such subjects as pus. im no stranger when it comes to intestinal fortitude. these portolets were otherwordly disgusting, which to me were a complete insult to their customers who are spending small fortunes. i have never left there spending less than $300.00. and I'm on a pretty tight budget but I plan & save to come here. and most of their customers did not fall off the turnip truck or are backwoods farmers looking for something "purdy." show some respect to your customers. you want me to spend $250. 00 on some little garden ornament then clean up your act. make sure you use a real bathroom before coming here.

This is by far the best first I've done. Barb and Phyllis, the ladies who run Barb's Corner, are…read morewonderful individuals and very hard workers. Their store may be tucked away, nestled between Main Street and the train tracks, but it really is a friendly hub. I met Phyllis at the Valley Marketplace on the green in downtown Ansonia. My mom struck up a conversation with her and told her that we were having a hard time trying to consign our old clothes and she warmly welcomed us to come on over any time and she'll take any clothes as long as they're not too beaten up or stained. When I finally went there with bins and bags of clothes, they were so kind and took all but 3 items, which is a breath of fresh air after dealing with the uppity atmosphere at One More Tyme and Plato's Closet. Granted, not a lot of people who visit buy things, so don't get too butthurt if you go in after a couple of weeks and only have 25 cents in your account. This leads me to the absolute BEST thing about Barb's Corner: their huge hearts. Barb and Phyllis take more than just clothing, they also take household items, furniture, and even unopen packs of diapers and adult disposable underwear. If you're someone who's hurting and hard up for money, they might even cut you a break on the price, which is totally unheard of in this dog eat dog world where everyone just wants to make a buck. However, please don't abuse their kindness since they need every dollar they get, as do the consigners. Even if you've got a heart of stone, it's hard not to like this quaint shop and their great prices. I got a brand new pair of shorts with the KMart tag and everything still on them, here for $2.50! All in all, this place is wonderful to visit, even if you are just feeling lonely and need someone to talk to. The only downside, and it's not that big of a deal, is that it tends to get a bit cramped what with all of the stuff they take. So, just keep on your toes and you should be golden.
