Im new to Brooklyn, and need to update my wardrobe for Yom Tov. Im looking for a store in Flatbush that sells trendy womens Shabbos and weekday clothes at decent prices and actually has sales people that help you! I am not good at putting things together and I need a store that has people that can make suggestions and help match skirts and tops...

TIA

I think Naomi at fashion island gives pretty good advice.

Zeldy's from Unique Boutique (the owner, I believe) is very helpful. She's very good at figuring out what will look good on you, what size, etc...

Put on your most expensive outfit, wear a fancy shaitel and anywhere you go they'll help you. If they think you have money or you really do have money theyre more likely to help you. Or go with your mother.
When I was engaged I went to a clothing store with my mother to buy a suit. The woman was very helpful and stayed with us the whole time. I went a few months later by myself and she barely approached me.
I'm not saying all stores are like this but many are.

Unique Boutique is definitely not like this.

fallon's place, it's a lady who has a store in her home and she has really nice with it stuff. She's very helpful. I have only gone when it was not too full though and it was just her working there, and she was helping me as well as the few other customers there at the time (And I didn't look like a rich woman!) I'm assuming she has helpers when it's crowded.

also- does unique boutique have trendy clothing? just from passing the window that's not the impression I get.

unique boutique has all sorts of stuff. You can't possibly find anything yourself - it's overwhelming as anything, there's tons of stuff and I can never figure out what's my size and what's what. But she definitely has more than just shabbos suits.

(More shabbos than weekday, but she does have both.)

How are Fallons Place's prices?

OP here. Someone told me Fallons has uniforms for seminary girls...what kind of clothing are they carrying THIS season?

Fallons does have seminary uniform skirts but not only that. They also have kids clothes. I think their prices were reasonable. at least for me.

you can also go to Junees. There's one on Ave J. I don't know how helpful they are though.
But if you want ideas of what to put together, follow them on their instagram page and they post tons of outfits they put together from clothes in their store.

I like a lot of their outfits.

Actually you don't even need to have instagram or to follow them. they are public so you can just google "junees instagram" and its probably the first link on the page. They have lots of pictures.
(I don't work for them btw, just like their clothing)

Fallons place also has instagram but I'm not sure if it's public or private.

good luck!

I just realized that you said you were looking for yomtov clothing. Most of the pictures posted by junees are weekday. although they definiitely do have yomtov clothing there.

I recommend Fashion Island as well, I was there last week when it was a mad house (and I was not at all dressed up) and the salespeople were so helpful.

If you have money and look interested in buying a million things (as in 3 full outfits, skirts, shirts, belts, etc) they will drop everything for you. Or if you are their neighbors daughters niece.
Otherwise forget it.

That said I did find the ladies in Fashion Island to be extremely helpful (when they were helping me because I stuck my nose in their faces until they did).
