Testimonials

  The Studio was essentially built by word of mouth. What better way to spread the word, and what an opportunity the internet presents to do just that, en masse...  
 
I don't go a day without being complemented on my exquisite wardrobe, mainly from this store. From suits for work to casual weekend wear, The Studio is the place you want to go. The women who work there have never been less than wonderful. I've never felt rushed or pressured (which I have felt in many other boutiques). The Studio is really an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life; if only my husband was more understanding to my theraputic shopping habit...

I'm not from Brookline, but after reading spectacular reviews of The Studio (Oprah's O magazine, Boston Globe...), I had to stop in. From the hip, gorgeous clothing (perfect for my 20-something daughter AND her old mom...) to the great staff, I was taken aback. Thrilled with my purchases, what also struck me was the warmth and comfort I felt while shopping. The staff was honest yet sensitive, accomadating and personal. Even the other customers were turning me on to their favorite t's and such! I left with great clothing, a perfect mood, and a boost of self-confidence that I hadn't felt in awhile. The Studio doesn't give itself a huge presence from the street, but the "inside" is more than you'll ever expect. I recommend this store and its experience to every woman who loves beautiful clothes, the friendliest people, and feeling like a queen; I surely do every time!

"they have unique clothing that you don't see everywhere else at not exorbitant prices."

"I've been shopping there for almost 20 years. The personal attention, and clothing selection is unparralled!"

"The Studio not only has the best clothes for comfort and style, they take you in as family and provide acceptance, familiarity, and love. Best of all they are non-judgmental, unless of course they think that what you have tried on is unbecoming. But then they'll find you something else you just can't live without!"

"I have been a loyal customer at The Studio for many years. Their selection is fabulous and the service unparalleled. When I leave I have complete, flexible outfits that I love wearing. I get compliments on their clothes, and always feel great in them."

"Personal service, amazing selection, current fashions!"

"The Studio rules. Wonderful, helpful and courteous sales staff who really care about their customers and want to make them look good, and be happy!"

"From my first visit at The Studio, I was treated as one of their most prized customers. I was helped graciously, but not harassed. The sales people are always very friendly, and they bend over backwards to be helpful. The selection of clothing and accessories is one that have not seen anywhere else the metro-Boston area. Hands down, it is the most intimate and fun place to shop!"

The Studio is the best because they deliver service, competitive pricing, fashion and fun! They allow me to stay current without having to do the work myself! Have you ever tried to figure out fashion from the pages of Vogue?
Lisa, Boston, MA.

Great clothes for women, with hip accessories and bags. Best of all is the atmosphere and the people who work there – interested, friendly, opinionated in exactly the right way. These folks have got it all figured out!
Elizabeth, Newton, MA.

Before The Studio's generous guidance, support and good humor, clothes shopping was about equal to a root canal; both painful and postponed whenever possible. I applaud Marcie, Sandy and Ilene for creating a magical store.
Joyce C., Hyannis

Going to The Studio is like going home. As a native New Yorker, I was accustomed to shopping in small boutiques and felt at a loss when I moved to Boston. But then, I was introduced to The Studio and fell in love immediately. I depend on them for my entire wardrobe, professional, formal and casual. I don't know what I would do without them.
Linda A., Brookline

I don't even bother with department stores anymore.
Anne G., Andover

I have been shopping at The Studio for twenty years, and I am so grateful. I never have to worry about what to wear, and I always feel that I look good. This isn't because I buy that many clothes - it's because every item I have is terrific and flattering and just right. The Studio isn't a store - it's a place where I feel taken care of, and where everyone knows my name and what I like and what looks good on me. Like most women, I lead an incredibly hectic life. Thanks to The Studio, I always look 'together'- and never have to go to the mall.
Cathy K., Brookline

The Studio is so much more than a clothing store. It has meant style, freshness, originality and quality since I discovered it and it's wonderful staff over twenty years ago.
Jeanne A., Brookline

The women at The Studio have been dressing me for years. It is such a relief to know that I can go there at the beginning of each season and come out with a wardrobe that is understated and elegant for work or relaxing and fun for social occasions. Given the busy lives we all lead, I can't imagine life without the women at The Studio.
Patty H., Boston
