Prom Dress shopping on the internet....

So Sweet Boutique is actually BOTH an Internet store and a physical storefront so, we get exposed to both sides of the coin from our Internet customers and our in-store customers. On occasion, we will hear our store customers say....."we saw the exact same thing on the Internet for cheaper". When it comes to formal wear, I wanted to take the time and explain a few things. When you have a storefront, you do have more overhead. First off, if you come into the store and you are working with a customer service rep who is taking time to measure you or your child, help you find or match up something, taking the time for you to try on several items........ there you go! Why shouldn't it be a little bit more money if you are the type of person who needs this type of service to make a decision on what to by. Time is money to and when you need to go into a store to help assist you in your buying selection, be prepared to pay a little more. Second, if you order on the Internet - you can expect your dress or item not to come freshly steamed out or prepped for you. If and when you take your dress and get it professionally steamed out, this service could cost you anywhere between $25- $75. When you purchase your dress in the store or special order it, when you pick up your dress it will have already been steamed out for you. Third, you can expect to pay a little something for shipping your item to you, this cost can be built into the price of the hang tag you see in the store verses the Ala cart version on the Internet. In other words, you do not know the exact price until you check out and then don't forget to expect to pay money to have your dress prepped for you. So, sometimes buying on the Internet is NOT always the best deal so, make sure you give us and other retailers the benefit of the doubt if our in store pricing is a little bit more.

The final touch to her Communion Dress!

So, it is official First Communion dress shopping season. How can you make this event special? Include your little girl in on the selection of her dress and all the accessories that go with. If you have a local store to take her to, we always suggest that first. After all, the dress selecting experience is a very special time too! If you are unable to go to a local retail store, have her spend time looking are website and be sure you have a pen and paper to write down several options.

Communion dresses typically are always white, but there is now a lot of freedom in the selection of "style" of dress so to speak. We actually carry a large selection that can cover even a "picky" child's taste. We offer first communion dresses that are embellished with sequins, pearls, and rhinestones. Often when you select a dress that has one of these key features on it, you want a veil to match that also offers the same type of embellishment. We also offer simpler style

first communion dresses, that can be a plain taffeta dress or just a simple bridal matte satin with a few flowers on it. You can also select a mini communion purse or handbag that matches the flow of the theme of their communion dress to add a final touch. Typically gloves are not worn during the ceremony, but are common for photographs, the reception or as a simple keepsake. Always remember to make it a special time since it truly is a landmark for your little girl!

Prom Dress - Orlando Fashion Show!

Some exciting news! We will be at Hagerty Highschool on February 6th to assist them with a 2010 Prom Fashion show. We will be displaying 36 of our prom dresses from all of our designers such as Sherri Hill and more. We will have GOODIE bags for the first 50 girls that enter the door to watch the show. All schools and anyone is welcome to watch this super cool show that Hagerty High is putting on. If anyone is in the Orlando area, it's worth coming out to see. I believe tickets can be bought at the door or ahead of time. We would love for other girls from the other schools to come by and see us. Hagerty High is located in Oviedo off of Lockwood Blvd.

Communion Dresses

As we turn from wrapping up Christmas Dress season we start to gear up for Communion Dresses. I must say our selection this year in our Orlando store will be better than ever. I was really impressed with the quality and styles by one of our very favorite manufacturers. They have created a lot of new styles and lengths - all for fabulous prices. The details on these communion dresses are superior and if you want your little girl to feel special, she surely will.

Our communion dresses start to arrive in just a few weeks, we will be sure to have plenty of hair wreaths, petticoats, jewelry sets all in stock for fast turn around. We would love to be part of you and your child's special day. Be sure to book an appointment with Mary Jo, she is our communion expert! Mary Jo can be reached at: customercare@sosweetboutique.com.

Jovani - 8629 - Prom Dress arrives to our Orlando Store!

This prom dress by Jovani is totally amazing. It has a blue sequined bodice with a funky print underneath the flow of the skirt. It is a strapless dress and has such a cute back with a bow on it. This dress is awesome for someone who loves prints and maybe a ballgown style type dress. It is the latest of the prom dresses that have arrived to our store in Orlando.

Girls Christmas Dresses

Girls Christmas dresses are in bloom on our online store and in our local store. Our local customers have been starting to chime in and seem to be pleased at our Girls Christmas dresses this holiday season. Yes, I said holiday season! It comes and goes so quickly, it is hard to believe we are just at the starting line. This Holiday season we see lots of fun fabric changes with the Christmas Dresses we have selected. We are offering dresses with flocking, rich taffeta's or rhinestone accessories to add a little more pop. We have had a hard time picking our very favorites but, I usually fall for the rich classic look. My five year old, Lucille, has selected a dress for when she sees Santa, a dress for a holiday party, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I am hoping to do a switch and bait and squeeze the dress that I love in there too! Don't forget to add the tights and a sweet pair of black patent mary janes!

We are so thrilled to announce that we have our new website up that will be featuring our prom dresses in 2010 along with our Homecoming dresses.

Now our Orlando customers can view more easily what prom dresses or homecoming dresses we have in our store and our online customers can too! We are also able to show the special order sections and ordering is very easy and more features such as larger images of the dresses, more pictures all together and so on. We will be featuring prom dresses 2010 from Sherri Hill, Jovani, Faviana, Tiffany Designs, Panapoly, Studio 17 and more. Our Prom dress collections are expected to start arriving in late December.

Christmas Dresses - EEK!

We just love all the wonderful options that we have this year for our Christmas Dresses and even better, we were able to offer better prices! The better price seems to be the kick since we have sold several Christmas Dresses this week, a record for the first week in October. Next week MORE Girls Christmas Dresses and our fun Christmas clothing should arrive and we are busy like worker bees rearranging the store to create a space for them.

I personally have even selected my daughters Christmas Dresses, style 1809 and they just arrived to the store. I loved the ones I selected since we are in Florida and it can get hot during the holidays, the jacket is removable! Then to dress it back up, they can simply put back on the velvet jacket. The dress itself is made of a lightweight taffeta, so just add their black patent shoes and they are all set. The dress comes in a dark blue, a romance burgundy and black. Having it come in all three colors is awesome since both my girls and my niece could match once again for holiday pictures!

Flower Girl Dresses Arrive for Camp Base Project!

If you have not heard, we have teamed up with Valencia to sponsor 35 little girls that have been diagnosed with cancer and will be assisting them with their very own prom! It is an amazing project lead by CAMP BASE and UCF and we are thrilled to be a part of it. We have created an "Adopt a Princess" program where it only cost $25 to sponsor a little girl for this event. Unfortunately, some of them won't make it to their own prom and we want them to experience this special event now. We also have teamed up with one of our favorite manufacturers who are assisting us with the most amazing dresses and accessories.
