Helen Ainson

"I was a late Christmas shopper scrambling to find a specific brand, color, cut and size of jeans for my wife that she only wears because of the perfect fit she likes of the brand and this brand is not available in many other retail outlets and malls that I searched desperately to find. I finally called Helen Ainson and Holly was so very helpful and told me that she has the brand, color and size BUT different cut and she would hold them for me to stop by to see and pick up. I quickly postponed my haircut appointment and raced to the store to purchase them, the purchase was even nicely gift wrapped, I gave them to my wife on Christmas Day, she tried them on as I crossed my fingers and the fit was still so perfect so there was no need to return them for an exchange. I’m sold and will be coming back to see Holly, who came to my rescue. There is something to be said by the boutique experience that is so much more personal than malls. I highly recommend Helen Ainson! Tony"

"In January, my 95 year old mother’s health began to fail rapidly. I live in NYC and my mother lived in her house in Conn. Helping and managing her care became all consuming. She died on May 24. My daughter was getting married in September and I had not even started thinking about shopping for my dress. It was not until July that I was able to even contemplate shopping. I was sad and dreading something that should have been joyful. When I walked into Helen Ainson, Holly took charge of helping me find a dress. Her kind, firm and no nonsense approach made me feel that “I could do this”, and that is exactly what I did. We found a beautiful dress, that made my husband, bride-to-be daughter and even me, smile. Scheduling the sessions with the seamstress, and being able to purchase all of the “day of” accoutrements, truly made this one stop shopping. I am so thankful for the way Holly helped me and the way she made me feel."

"The women who helped me, saved my life. My son was getting married in 2 weeks. I hadn’t found anything I like. As we were going to the dressing room I saw this dress. I asked if I could try it on. Of course she said and I knew it was my dress. Everyone told me they loved my dress."

"I couldn’t be more thrilled with my experience at this store! My fiance, and I came in, looking for a dress for my mother for our wedding.Donna was beyond helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. thank you so much, Donna! You made this stressful process, so wonderful!"

"I was searching for a specific Jovani dress and size online and came upon Helen Ainson. I worked with Holly and she was AMAZING!! Super honest and made me feel confident ordering over the phone! Super helpful in making sure the size was the right one, unlike other bridal shops in my area and I am out of state! If you find a dress, call them first! You will be treated right! Thanks so much Holly!!"
