Paperdolls Boutique

The best boutique in town! The salespeople help find the right outfit for any occasion. I love going here to find unique pieces to add to my wardrobe. I have received so many compliments on things I have purchased here! XO

I absolutely loved Paperdolls Boutique! It was so much larger than most boutique shops and had a great array of clothing, from casual to dressy. I tried on an armful of items and found several pieces that I could have taken home. In the end, I went with a long skirt and a cute top. Neither piece was on sale but I liked them both so much that I didn’t care.
The shop gals were friendly and helpful. There are also tons of accessories and small gift items. Great place to shop in St. Louis!

I will never return to this store again. Be forewarned! They will not honor a store credit even when it is confirmed in their computer system that it is due you! I came to the store this morning with the original store receipt showing that I had a $ 63.28 credit due, resulting from the return of a sweater months earlier. The salesclerk looked up on her computer and confirmed it, even showing me the $ 63.28 store credit in my name on the store computer screen. Yet, she said she would not honor it. She said I had to have a brown plastic store credit card with the letters «P» and «D» on it. I told her that the only documentation of «credit due» that I remember having been given was the paper credit receipt which I had carefully saved and hand in hand. She then called the manager/​owner who said again that they would not honor the store credit.
They’ve got my money; they know it’s mine as documented in their computer system, but they will not give it back. I’m warning every one I know. I’m 60 years old, a lifelong Kirkwood resident, and I will never patronize this store again.

My new store obsession. Great selection of clothes, jewelry, and shoes that you reallly don’t see in chain stores. Both my daughter and I found things in there we loved, so the store is not aimed at a certain age group. Prices are in a wide range, so it is hard to walk out empty handed :-)
I really was not that familiar with the store until I found out about their «Keep Calm and Watch Cardinals Baseball» shirts and I had to have one. Ordered online, and they called me a few days later when it came in. Nice and friendly on the phone, and were just as pleasant in store. Will definitely be back. There is also a location in Ballwin and they said about half the store has different selections than the Kirkwood location.
The only drawback that I could see is their return policy. 15 days for store credit only.

I was excited to go in the store because I have heard they have a great selection of dresses and accessories but was terribly disappointed by the customer service. Everyone in the store, including who I think I was a owner or definitely a manager did not even acknowledge you. I had received a gift of earrings that I could not wear and had not been wore or even take out of the box but because the gift receipt was over 15 days they would do NOTHING to help me. I even had things picked out to buy so it would have just been going towards a bigger purchase but the lady was completely rude and said there was nothing she can do. Unfortunately I will not be part ionizing their store ever again after this experience.

Watch out: TERRIBLE return policy — if you don’t make your return within 14 days of the date of purchase, you’re out of luck. No store credit, no refund, no apologies. I don’t understand how overpriced places like this – that give no regard to proper customer service etiquette – can stay in business.
The full story: I was planning to return a Christmas gift I received from this boutique, and was fully prepared to return it for store credit and spend a good deal more than the gift originally cost. But alas, I arrived at the boutique a full 22 (!) days after the gift was purchased, so now I’m stuck with it.
Furthermore, the gift – a pair of rhinestone-​studded earrings – is cheaply made, and is a far cry from being worth what they cost. One of the smaller rhinestones around the edge has already fallen out. Forget it.
Needless to say, I won’t be spending any money here in the future!

Paperdolls is a cute little boutique in the middle of downtown Kirkwood.
In my honest opinion, I think Paperdolls’ price point is a little higher than the average Kirkwoodian would like to spend, and it would fit in better in Ladue or maybe Clayton. Its proximity to those areas, however, still seems to benefit it, because its survived for more than a couple of years in its current location.
Finding a good piece of clothing at Paperdolls is like a treasure hunt. It carries labels and designers you wouldn’t see at the malls or department stores, and can have some real gems with a few misses thrown in for good measure. You’ll see everything from dresses and tops to shorts, skirts, boots and shoes, coats, vests, shape wear and accessories — everything a fashion forward girl could want.
And as I said initially, the prices might be a little more than you’re used to seeing in Kirkwood, but they have a pretty great sale section in the back where items that didn’t sell initially are marked down.
My favorite piece I’ve gotten so far is a great, simple, blue and green, bell sleeved dress with an empire waist. I’m definitely a fan of Paperdolls Boutique, and I enjoy going in there during different seasons to see what the new offerings are.

The best place around town to buy unique, fashionable, high quality clothing at affordable prices. They have something to fit your every mood and I have not found a boutique that I love more. Also, they just opened a second location in Ballwin and the employees are great!

My favorite place to buy quality, unique clothing in St. Louis. The prices are affordable and they carry classic, as well as trendy, pieces. I can always count on finding something that I love and that no one else will have at Paperdolls Boutique.

The best shopping Kirkwood has to offer is at Paperdolls Boutique. My wardrobe is happier because of my last visit. The selection is diverse in price (you don’t have to worry about every single item giving you sticker shock), the styles are dressy, sassy, hooch and classic. Something for everyone. They also have a small but attractive shoe selection and the prices aren’t outrageous. If I’m looking for a great last minute look, I can count on finding something that will work at Paperdolls.

Nothing really blew me away or caught my eye. Some interesting pieces but to be honest it reminds me of every other little boutique around. There is a lot to choose from but it all looks the same.
The prices weren’t outrageous and the people there seemed helpful.
Not sure, maybe I wasn’t in the shopping mood, but I wasn’t impressed.

Do you remember when you had to drive up to Chicago or fly to another city to get cool unique clothes? I swear 3 summers in a row I got most of my wardrobe in Seattle, but that is really starting to change in St. Louis. It’s places like Paperdolls that are making this fashion dream a reality.
They have such a diverse selection that is unlike anything you can get at the mall. Everything from casual funky sweaters to sexy cocktail dresses, this place has it all. Plus the shoes and accessories to match!
I was also impressed with the sales staff. They are extremely helpful, but not pushy and overbearing. I was given a few things to try on that I would have never considered, and she was right. It looked great on me and ended up being a part of my purchase.
I am also a fan of the location. There are some great shops in the city that I love as well, but I live in Kirkwood and having boutique in my own neighborhood, a boutique that carries the kind of clothes I love is more than I could have ever hoped for.

I honestly have no idea what Jessica is talking about… I couldn’t have more of an opposite experience everytime I go into Paperdolls! The staff is phenomenal. Always willing to help throw together a great outfit for an event or just because. Paperdolls is easily the best boutique in St. Louis! The clothes are super cute, super affordable, and there is always something new to look at. I have officially stopped shopping anywhere else.

I just went in here for the first time a few weeks ago even though I’ve walked by it about a million times. I was really surprised by the cuteness of just about every single item. I’m a pretty picky clothes buyer, but it was like this store was catering specifically to my taste. It’s awesome! I’d describe it as more contemporary/​trendy, but I’m not a super trendy dresser by any means so don’t let that general description scare you off. Even more amazing is that the prices were not what I’d expect a boutique to be. Everything was very affordable.
I’m deducting one star because they don’t seem to have a website (I seriously don’t get that) and the staff was not all that friendly. Otherwise, yay! I’m a fan.
