Skirt

I picked up my dress for the Unilocal Elite Black and White party here.
I appreciated how everything was reasonably priced: dresses from $ 50-​$ 80, skirts from $ 30-​$ 50, jean jackets were $ 50-​$ 70. Quality is also reasonable. Pieces could last you a couple seasons unless you wear them on the daily.
Style is a bit left of centre. If you’re mainstream, you could spice up your wardrobe with a couple pieces from here. But if you’re an Urban Outfitters gal, this will probably be a bit too demure for your taste.
The pretty redhead working the rooms and counter was helpful yet not pushy.
Would revisit for everyday apparel or for a casual event.

Since I moved away from the Annex, I find myself missing Skirt.
Skirt is a great boutique featuring unique pieces that have become wardrobe staples. I own a million things from Skirt, though the downside is they’re not cheap. However, people need to realize that this isn’t H&M and these designers cost more. Go in with those expectations and you won’t be disappointed.
I seem to end up there for both everyday wear and special occasions such as birthdays and New Years. They also frequently have great sales, including the buy two get 20 per cent off, three get thirty per cent off, etc. Some of my favourite dresses are from Skirt! They also branched out not too long ago to include incredible accessories and jewelry at great prices. I’ve come back many times simply for their selection.
I noticed previous reviewers complaining about the staff. The staff here are mostly young fashion savvy girls still in school who tend to leave you alone. This is actually preferred for me since I don’t like to be bothered much when I’m shopping. However, when I’ve had questions I’ve never had problems with assistance and they’ve always been civil and nice. Recommended!

A friend of mine wanted to check this place out after our lunch date to see if she could grab a dress for a party she was attending. So, with our kids in tow, we went in and were quickly ignored by the staff.
They had some sort of «sale» on which was pretty much limited to 6 items in the whole store, of which it took us 10 minutes to be directed to by the sales girl who was busily eating her lunch on one of the benches (Oh, I’m sorry, was my wanting information on your merchandise interfering with whatever pretentious sushi roll you’re trying to enjoy? So sorry).
The other sales girl was no better who was talking loudly in the phone to a friend about someone named «Becky» and how she was completely appalled that this guy was into her and blah blah blah. I know right?
Silly customer, wants to buy clothes that obviously won’t fit them so I’ll just ignore them completely…
So I let my kid break three of their sunglasses and put them back without them noticing.
Yep. Yep I did.

I am completely going against the other reviews here, but I have to say that I find this store rather ridiculous. I walk past it frequently on my way doing other errands and every time I walk in, I am never acknowledged and the clothes aren’t made for people who weigh more than 105 pounds.
I went in this past Saturday and did one and a half rounds through the entire store while the three sales representatives chatted at the cash about why it is better to live closer to the city-​centre because it makes getting home easier when you are inebriated. I would have offered my advice on the subject, but they didn’t notice I was in the store.
I even found three items that I wanted to try on, and walking through the store carrying them still didn’t make a difference. I was forced to interrupt to ask if someone could help me.
As for the clothes, maybe I am old, but I don’t understand why not only everything 1980’s has returned, but it is all appearing shrunken (everything was baggy back then) in stores where they charge silly prices. A lot of their tops are sheer (so you have to buy something else to go underneath), tassled (actually, maybe not so bad), cropped and sparkley. Old and crabby I may appear to be, but I just don’t see why I should be paying my hard earned money to be ignored and not find anything that looks decent. And why is it called Skirt, if there are barely any there?
I went to Trove right after and had an extremely pleasant and friendly experience.

This was a fantastic find, my friend and I went in and it was just endless gorgeous pieces I ended up buying a skirt (how could i not in Skirt) and a fantastic party dress too. The girls were sweet and everything just looks good. Some cool gift ideas too. My best friend and I went in and she doesn’t know it yet but she picked out her xmas present today there YAY definitely going back

This is the place where you can find so many lovely dresses that you will have difficulty trying everything on. I tried on more than 10, and loved 4 of them (that is a great turnout, considering most of time you can hardly find one piece).
I ended up buying 2 piece because they are simply irresistible.
Only downside: dresses are NOT cheap (most of them around $ 60), but they are definitely much more classy than Forever 21.
Ladies working there are very helpful and friendly, offering honest opinions.

New boutique clothing store in the Annex. Very similar to the «Risqué» boutique a few doors down. I’m just happy to see more clothing stores opening in the Annex, we certainly were not in need of another sushi joint.
Skirt had a large selection of jewelry that was unique and very reasonably priced. A lot of it looked handmade, but I could be wrong.
Besides jewelry, they had a decent selection of women’s clothing. Lots of floral prints, trendy dresses and girly skirts.
The interior was revamped quite nicely and they have proper change rooms in the back.
I’m not 100% sure but I think they are located in the old «Secrets from your Sister» shop that moved further west on Bloor last year.
