Mezzo is a regular store, not upper class.

Mezzo is significantly more expensive than, say, junees, fallons, and fashion island, to name just a few. It's imported clothing and better quality, but is also more expensive.

If you’re wealthy you can go to different stores then some mentioned.
Estis, Brenda’s upstairs and finale are a different league then the gallery and mezzo. Completely different price points.
If you live in town, and need a full wardrobe you don’t need to go to Saks, Nordstrom, ... those you can do for fun, extra peices and to get good shoes, but you’ll go crazy sifting through everything to find something that works. Lots of things that the dressmakers fix up end up looking a little off. I would stick with the places that have clothing curated for a modest crowd like the ones mentioned.

I always think of Esti's for Frum and Madison Avenue shops Bergdorf Goodman, Saks, Barney's, small boutiques, Hermès etc... (along with Bloomingdale's & Nordstrom but I shop at those and don't consider myself wealthy)

Thanks! Wow you really came up with lots of options.

Im narrow on top and fuller on the bottom so I like sheaths (straight or VERY slightly A line bottoms), but for other figure shapes these are pretty.

Amother gold your links are gorgeous! I wouldn't spend 200+ on a Shabbos dress, but the gold sparkly dress was so stunning.

When I start spending 1000s on my clothing, I'll come to you to be my personal shopper.

S&W is considered medium priced, and these dresses are the same prices as in S&W.

Not for me though. I shop primarily in Junee, and I don't think I've ever purchased a Shabbos dress for over $160. I usually buy even cheaper dresses than that.

Lol one dress was $700, just for options (I don’t know budgets and the title is wealthy and stylish)

Most of the dresses I posted are under $200, which in my community is pretty normal to spend on a Shabbos dress

S&W has a huge price range. From less than 100 to a couple thousand.

I’m not stylish, but hard to fit, and most of the clothes I got married with (shabbos) were in the $1,000 dollar range.
They came from Novella, S&W, Tiffany knits custom, Halberstam custom, something Paris?
It was a long while back so that’s all I remember for now....

Was going to mention these. They're all on Coney Island and near each other, so you can visit all in one day. And across the street is Talking Fashion.

Esti's is in a high end league of it's own. And not only is the clothing curated for the frum market as opposed to the high end department stores, the designer clothing is 20% off list price.
