London Couture

I’ve been waiting in the rain for you to take down the «be back in 5 minutes sign.» I waited longer than 5 minutes and I saw you turn around and go into the back! I WASN’T PLANNING ON JUST WINDOW SHOPPING I WAS GONNA SPEND SOME SERIOUS MONEY IN YOUR STORE.

Oh. Em. Gee!!! What an AMAZING collection!!! They know what they have and the prices reflect that, however. But damn! so much lusciousness!

I would give this place a 0 if i could. They sold me a ring that i totally loved and wore it the enitre day right after purchasing it. When i got home and took it off there was a green ring around my finger. Now i expect these kinds of things when i buy jewlery from forever 21 or charolette russe. But after spending 20 dollars on the ring from london i was more then mad. At least forever and charolette price their pieces accordingly but london knew this piece wasnt sterling silver and still sold it 5 times more then it should have been priced! Thats beyond a ripoff and they know it. When I went back to return the clearly faulty product they told me too bad so sad there’s nothing they can do for me. Never going back there again, ever.

Make this your first stop if you’re hunting for a formal or wedding gown in Tacoma.
Downstairs they have a nice selection of designer bags, shoes, and every day clothes. Labels like Prada, Kate Spade, Betsey Johnson and Michael Kors are here.
Upstairs — 100’s of gowns, long & short — all price levels, all styles and labels of every stripe.
The prices are excellent — I’d guess the dresses average about 50% of their original retail cost. I saw a gorgeous Nicole Miller floor length gown for $ 380 and they have tons of Betsey Johnson short dresses on the racks.
If you’re looking a dress, make an appointment. London Couture has so much inventory, a lot of it isn’t on the floor. They will pull pieces from the back for you — this is what they did for my daughter. Christine, one of the stylists in the shop, is AMAZING. She pulled about 8 pieces for my daughter. She spent so much time with us — wasn’t rushed or pushy. The range of price points was excellent — and she didn’t push the more expensive items harder. She wanted what was right for my daughter. We got a lovely aubergine floor length formal for her — original tags still intact — for $ 150!
To round out their services: London Couture has in-​house alterations. They take consignments.
We will definitely return and I give them my highest recommendation.

Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever had such a terrific experience selling one of my designer clothing items! They were very fair with what they paid me, I walked in and they paid me on the spot for my vintage designer cocktail dress.
I’ll be back again — next time I’ll be shopping to buy a new designer gown from their fabulous collection.

I wasn’t expecting to find a cute consignment shop in the middle of Tacoma’s antique stores, but London Couture is a fun boutique to browse through.
The most eye-​catching feature is the wall of nicely displayed shoes on the right when you walk in. There’s a wall of mirrors with painted «frames» that’s striking, too.
The ground floor has dresses and separates, jewelry, and accessories like shoes and bags. Since I’m more of a thrift shopper, the consignment prices seemed high to me, but there were plenty of designer labels mixed in. I saw lots of sequined, sparkly evening stuff, so this would be a good place to look for a special-​occasion outfit at a discount. The second floor is for the higher-​end evening dresses and bridal boutique, and I didn’t dare to venture up there!
We were greeted when we walked in, and then left to browse, which is my preference. The salespeople were giving most of their attention to a girl who was trying on a bunch of cocktail dresses, but I had the impression that they would have happily answered questions if I had asked.
The best thing I saw in the store was a trio of mink-​covered bangles. I didn’t feel like paying $ 150 for them, but I will definitely be stealing this idea with some janky craft-​store fur! (Which probably explains why I don’t shop at stores with «couture» in the name.)

What a cute store!
There are two floors; first floor is dresses, blouses, skirts, suits, shoes, jewelry & hats and the second floor is, by appointment only, wedding gowns and evening gowns.
I came in with my Mother and Sister and we spent a fair amount of time perusing the clothing. LOTS of Betsy Johnson! No complaints with that! :)
I do have a complaint on spending a hundred dollars on a dress that has a stain though. :-/​Big stain!
After finding the stain, we went back and started looking at the jewelry. FUN!!!
LOVE the jewelry! And at such great prices. :D
I’m pretty sure my sister tried on everything. No joke. What she didn’t try on, she put on one of us.
My Sister and I walked out with new jewelry and my Mother walked out with a beautiful new hat. Yay!
No doubt we will be back.

London Couture provides the best shopping experience imaginable. We were shopping for a gown for a special event. We had called ahead to make an appointment, but through a series of circumstances were an hour late. The stylist, Andy, stayed late and assured us it was no problem. He had pulled several options and listened as my daughter made comments about what she liked and continued to find other gowns that were wonderful. We found the perfect gown and had a great time sipping cucumber water and listening to soothing music in a spacious comfortable seating area. There were many affordable options. Get to London Couture as soon as possible.

This clothing store is nestled in the heart of T-Town’s antique district. The clothing store is for women, sorry guys. I was drawn in by their impressive array of shoes for ladies and how unusual some of them were. They carry impressive brand names like Betsy Johnson and Gucci. Despite my draw to those shoes and if I could find something that would fit me I don’t think I could still wear those high heels, just too painful. Even on my best costuming day. Still I am impressed with this store and the friendliness!
