My Weekly Addiction: "Madeline's Boutique"

Hey guys. Before I dive right into this new post, I just want to say that if you are a reader, and have something nice that you want me to "review" as my weekly addiction, comment, or email me anytime. I would love the ideas of you readers, and just to know that you guys are reading my blog. So if your parents own a restaurant, or something along those lines, email me, and I will review it for you. Also, spread this blog around. I want this thing to turn out to be HUGE. Okay, pretty big at least. So you guys got to help me out. Thanks again.

I'm going to try to get a couple of good reviews under my belt this weekend, so here is a new one. Now, on to my post. Last time I posted about an amazing blog that I follow. And now I am going another route.

This week’s addiction: Madeline's Boutique, 1841 Avenue Rd, Toronto, ON.

Madeline's, situated on Avenue Road across from a giant LCBO, is a beautiful boutique that sells dresses for all occasions. I know, if you are a Torontonian, then you hear the street Avenue Road and you already know that it will be expensive. I am not going to lie, it is on the pricey side, however, Madeline's carries such a wide variety of dresses that I am sure you can find a more affordable dress within the many racks.

The boutique carries what seems like a hundred dresses in the store alone, and change up their merchandise often. Do not let this small boutique fool you, once inside the small store; you may suffer from a little claustrophobia and at the same time amazement. If you are like me and love shopping, especially for dresses, you will fall in love. I did.

I want to point out that Madeline's carries a lot of the big dress designers such as Sherri Hill, BG Haute, Sherri Seigal and many more.

Madeline & Nick, the owners, are just simply amazing. And of course, their employees are just as great. Although the place is often busy, especially on the weekends, it is worth the wait. Nick can look at you, and with a little guidance from you about what you are looking for, he can pick out a couple dresses that will honestly look fantastic on you. Every body type! Madeline's bubbly personality makes you feel welcome and her accessory guidance is very helpful.

My experience: For prom, I bought my dress here. I have a lot of trouble finding clothing that fit me well, so when it came to getting a prom dress I was sure that it would be a difficult trek. I went to one store that recommended Madeline's to me because of their expansive selection. I walked in to the store and was greeted with a smile and question" what can I get for you?" After a couple minutes I had four beautiful dresses in my hand, which were then hung up on the waiting rack. It was fast and easy. After waiting for a change room, slipping on the dresses, and getting help and advice from the owners, I had found my prom dress. I was in and out in under thirty-minutes, with a prom dress in my hands. They also do altering and can order you something from out of the store. It was honestly the best dress-buying-experience of my life!

I have read reviews that people have left about this boutique and feel that I must mention Nick's personality clashes with some people. Let me put this plainly; he will not deal with your problems. I have seen him with my own eyes ask someone to leave. Madeline's is a very busy, very small store. There is not enough room in there for some lazy girl who does not want to be trying on dresses.

My advice: If you do go there, make sure you are in good spirits, and are open to new ideas. Know what it is you are looking for, and do not fool around.
