Lovely array of authentic fabrics and owner Deborah Rose has a great personality and wonderful sense of style! She has authentic African fabrics to choose from and is quite fast and efficient and was able to alter a jacket we brought at her store on the spot within minutes! She also gives great savings advice as well like a close friend and we would definitely recommend her ?

I thought hard before I posted this comment because I know it’s a person business and most of all their source of income. However. I must warn everyone about getting any African attire made from this store because her work is horrible. I went to Africa for an event and was told had to buy another African attire because everyone will be laughing at my dress at the event. So went to an authentic African store in Nigeria that basically told me she used old fabric from the early 2000 that’s not even used anymore, and the fabric was way too heavy. I didn’t know any better when I brought the dress, I did notice it was heavy and she did not create the style that I wanted but she has an excuse for not following my pattern. I wish I had a picture of the dress I don’t because I left it hanging in the hotel room in Africa (on purpose) I didn’t want it. There are signs of no refund so beware. I’m just out of money for a dress that I never wore. Lesson learned won’t ever get my business. She has clothes there hanging so you think she made them, but she didn’t those are retail clothing she’s resales. So, I assume so did good work I even noticed she’s having people in the back sewing not her. I’m just letting doing the right thing by warning people of the bad experience I had but most of all the bad work that was done.

Horrible experience. My requests for an update were ignored for several days and then I received a call 3 days AFTER the dress was due. She offered a $10 discount for the "inconvenience", promised to have the dress ready the next day and it still wasn't. Overall, there was no integrity, proper customer service, nor communication. The dress itself had strings hanging and rhinestones came off same day.

I ordered online from the Etsy site back in May 2021 but didn't actually wear the piece til 3 October 2021.Ordering was easy. You can select from pre-made letter-sizes or send a message with your measurements to have something custom made or altered. Since everything is handmade, I assume adjustments can be made to fit each size.If I remeember correctly, I think the piece I bought was marketed as a top/dress but I wore it as a beach cover up. I loved the lime green colour and the light material. Although the lime green was the primary colour, the other colours toned it down so it was not overly dramatic. It was perfect for a windy day on a boat.On the website, prices are clearly marked and depending on how much you spend, free shipping is offered.Along with the dress pictured, I also ordered a comfie ankara print romper, which I gifted to my sister. She loved it.Deborah makes one of a kind pieces that can complement any body, for any occasion. She can also turn your visions into an incredible outfit. She is a talented seamstress and creative fashion designer.I highly recommend her.

Let me start by saying this, DEBORAH IS THE BEST IN MIAMI!I hate shopping because I am 6’2 and full figured but this was the most ease I’ve ever had in purchasing quality items. No place ever has my length in anything! Lol I just knew I would have to have my clothes altered (which I know she does) and wasn’t too concerned if there was a wait for alterations BUT DEBORAH EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. I told her my occasion (a trip to Mexico coming up next month), and expressed my concerns for finding anything that would fit me. She immediately handpicked some selections for me to try on and THEY FIT WITH NO ALTERATIONS NEEDED. It was the length and fit for me! Right off the bat my clothes were the perfect length and not “high waters”. Nice flowy vacation dresses, coverups, and a jumpsuit with a cute back cut-out. Will be my go-to boutique for Everything! Not only are there ready-made clothes and dresses, she will custom make orders and I already have a few in mind for future occasions. Five Freaking Stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
