Sophia Boutique,

220 West Main Street, Avon, CT 06001

"One of the most beautiful costumer service experiences I’ve had in my life! Mina and Gigi were the sweetest two girls I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I was told my 2 other stores that they couldn’t help me with my dress and there was “no way” anyone could fix the issue I had. She was able to rebuild me a dress that I loved so much. Not only is she highly talented and skilled at what she does, she’s the kindest human ever. I will be getting my dresses tailored here for the rest of my life!!"

"Mina and Gigi are awesome!! ! They have good taste and give good advice. I am so glad that I found them after so many months of searching for a boutique that has Mother to the bride dress. Mina has magic hands!!! I was so worried when I got my dress two weeks ago which was a bit tight … she could managed to alter for me and makes me feel not only comfortable wearing it but looks so gorgeous!!! Both of them make me feel at home and they work with the heart not just want to sell their products .. if at all I have any important function .. this is definitely the store I would come to!! I am all set now for my daughter’s wedding! Thanks to Mina and Gigi!! And I have to add…Mina is so sweet… she actually offered to pack the dress for me to bring it to my daughter’s wedding which is oversea !! Thanks Mina!"

"I struggle to write this review but I believe it is important for others to read this before working with Sophia Boutique. This can be disturbing to those with self confidence challenges, weight challenges, eating disorders or simply just Brides that are plus size like myself. It was recommended to me to go to Sophia's for a bridesmaid dress hem so I did and it was a great experience. Both Nina and Gigi were so kind. As I was getting married a few months away, I asked if I could bring my wedding dress (I had purchased from other store) to Sophia's to get it hemmed. Of course, they said yes. A family member of mine joined me for my first fitting. She also needed a dress for the wedding. While we were there she tried on a dress and fell in love with it. They did not have it in her size and had to order it so after taking measurements, they agreed on a size and the order was placed. Many months later the dress arrived and did not fit. My family member was devastated and concerned. While at our appointment the ladies of Sophia suggested to her to try a diet pill so she could fit in the dress...they promised to text her the pill that they use to lose weight when they need to do so. My family member and I left and got in the car and rightful so she was devastated. She was being told she had to lose weight for a dress that was clearly sized incorrectly. The thought of a diet pill being mentioned as a way to fix their mistake is appalling. My family member checked all her doctors notes from the past 4 months and realized she had not gained any weight or changed in her measurements so the "change" in size simply was not true. The reason this review is not 1 star is because the ladies of Sophia Boutique were able to order a larger size dress for my family member and it came in within weeks, was sized and ended up working out. However, this review still remains 2 stars because of my wedding dress. Leaving the Boutique I was confident in my dress. Note, I had to leave my dress with Sophia's as they had already started alterations at the time of the chaos with my family member. I had gone a few times before my wedding and again, felt confident in the work that was done to the dress. Fast forward to my wedding day, I quickly realized what I thought was so wonderful was not. There were missing buttons on my sleeves and back. Multiple buttons had come off over the course of the first hour wearing the dress and the lace in the back was not even with the rest of my dress. So what now? I write this review to say all that glitters is not gold. The Boutique and the individuals that run the boutique were clearly overwhelmed during this process.Between the poor craftsmanship on my wedding dress, the fiasco of my family members dress, consistently not knowing when my appointment was (we had showed up multiple times to their surprise, even though an appointment was schedule) I am disappointed I chose to work with Sophia's in the first place. This is not a plus size friendly boutique and certainly not recommended for anyone who wants to put trust in someone to care for their gown, wedding or not."

"Lovely shop with a heart felt dedication to the customer. Mina and Gigi are warm, energetic, and give you their full attention. Mina is a dress maker herself and her skills made me feel confident that she would ensure the dress fits me perfectly. Grateful for both of their work and support, and happy to know they will be there to support me until the big day!"

"Gigi and Mina at Sophia’s Boutique are more than amazing, they are fantastic! They are wonderful, genuine, and kindhearted people with exceptional talent for what they do. They spent so much time with me to find the dress of my dreams. Unfortunately due to COVID we had to order a dress 2 sizes too big for me because overseas shipping was a risk. Mina worked so hard to make sure the dress fit me perfectly including over 3 dress fittings prior to my wedding day to make alterations to this dress. With all the ups and downs of planning my wedding during 2020, my dress fittings with Gigi and Mina were always a highlight. We had so much fun during those fittings. They made me feel gorgeous and helped me remember all of the exciting things to come with the wedding. They gave me energy to keep planning during this difficult year. I cannot thank them enough for that. I am beyond happy with how my dress came out. Gigi and Mina treat their clients like family. You will be in great hands with them. I would recommend them for any bride looking for a dress and vendors you can trust."
