Spybaby Boutique

I have had a lot of trouble finding the PERFECT wedding dress. Anyone who has been married knows that it is all about finding ""the one"", and that is certainly not an easy task. I went to various places to look and still never found something striking yet worth the price. I knew that wedding dresses did not come cheap, so I kept an open yet reasonable mind on my budget. I happened to be in Armory Square this past weekend when I decided to stop into SpyBaby's. I have never been in there before, but I got the feeling of a comfortable and chic Manhattan boutique. Very intimate and very cozy. I did not have an appointment (on a Saturday afternoon which is certainly a busy time) and there were a few other brides trying on things. I met a great salesgirl who kindly offered to help me look around and find some options. She was never pushy on the sale and kept focused on the things I liked about a dress. She introduced me to a fabulous designer, Maggie Sottero, and showed me a nice selection of dresses that were both original and beautiful. She got me a changing room and helped me with trying on the dresses. When I found the one I loved - not just liked, because it's fabulous - it hit me: this is ""the one"". The owner of the boutique herself came to look me over in the dress and asked me some great questions to ensure I had the right fit. She was concerned with how I felt about the dress and what I liked about it. I put the down payment down but kept worrying it would not be available for my wedding in April. The owner called me to touch base on my purchase and answer any other questions I had two days later. She also ensured me things would be ready for my wedding. I was very relieved to know that I had found a great dress at a great boutique! I would recommend SpyBaby's to ANYONE looking for an original, fashionable dress! Give it a chance and end up as happy as I am with my experience. more

I went there months ago....many many many months ago to look for a wedding dress. Now that I have had time to reflect I want to write a review: Pros: You can leave whenever you want Cons: Rudeness, apathy from workers and owner more

I absolutely loved everything about my experience at Spybaby. I had previously gone to New York Bride and David's Bridal, not to mention a half dozen other smaller shops and BY FAR Spybaby gave me the best one-on-one service. They are laiid back enough to let you take pictures and pull your own dresses, but super professional and helpful and willing to go the extra mile and answer ANY questions you have. I found my dress there a few weeks ago and now I'm just deciding on my BM's dresses. You get a discount if you order your BM dreses through them as well. Pros: Service, atmosphere, friendliness Cons: none! more

In Oct. 2003 I tried to purchace a dress from this store for my wedding in Oct. 2004. I paid a deposit of 50% of the dress an was told it would be ready around April, fine. But when my wedding was moved up to Dec. 2003 and I purchaced a different dress. The owner would not give me my origional deposit back. I felt that was very unprofessional. Pros: nice selection, friendly at first Cons: bad return policy , no parking more
