CoCo & Delilah

What's great about this place is that I've always seen a good range of tasteful-looking dresses, and at a reasonable price range, too. They have plenty of simple, basic dresses, so it's almost a near certainty that one will be able to find a great black dress there. There are also really cute and/or pretty styles there, too, that are good for everything from casual to dressy. They also have a good selection of jeans, and it's great when they're on sale, which is almost always.

Another plus is that the salespeople there are honest about what looks good and what doesn't; I haven't felt like they push something just to make a sale.

One downside is that there's only one dressing room, and because there's no maximum number of things one can try on, you can wind up waiting a while.

Pros: Good selection; good service; reasonable prices.
Cons: Not close to subway; most of the good on-sale dresses are gone by the time you get there.

I had such a fabulous experience at CoCo&Delilah, that I thought they deserved a great big 'thank you'. Designer jeans are an investment for me, and the owner was so kind and thoughtful that she helped me pick out jeans that would work for me and my figure. They had a great selection that fits many sizes, not just super skinny people, and she was considerate in helping me find what worked and looked good on me. I gave this a five star rating because this was one of the best shopping experiences I've had with great customer service as well...

Pros: Very helpful, friendly atmosphere
Cons: none

If you want last season's dresses at full price that are on sale at other boutiques, do shop here;) I would pick boutique shopping over dept. store any day of the week....unless that day brought me to CoCo and Delilah. Service was very snooty and rude. Bought a dress that was sent damaged, and when returned was berated! Since then I found the dress on sale at a great online boutique (again, avid boutique shopper), since this dress was at Nordstrom in July 07. The new dress was sent to me in perfect conditon. BEWARE of return policy posted and amateurish customer service...you sell more with a smile and amiable service! They'll learn with experience.

Pros: Some great designers
Cons: Designers too late and still full price and Service

The best selection of dresses in the city! I love this store. I needed something special for an evening out with my boyfriend and found the most incredible Alice + Olivia dress here. The woman working there was so patient and helpful and really knew what would look nice on me - definitely the best selection of dresses and jeans in the east village.

Pros: great selection, great and helpful service
Cons: one dressing room
