The one thing good about this place is that they have a nice selection of items and you can generally get everything you need for a communion in one place. The MAJOR Negative to this place is that you are paying bridal salon prices for a discount store experience. Putting aside the fact that this place is in a stuffy basement of a house, the overall experience itself was sub par compared to the experience I had buying my older daughter's communion outfit last year at a bridal boutique. At the bridal boutique, you tried on the sample dresses in the store but once you selected the dress you wanted, they ordered you a brand new one. However, at Thistles N Things you go home with the dress that was on the rack and that was tried on by lord knows how many other kids. So I paid $350 for a designer dress that had a few beads missing and a few loose strings. Additionally, when my 6 year old was trying the dresses on, the owners were on her case about touching the beads etc.. because they sell the dresses off the rack. So nothing about the experience or the ambience of the store made my daughter feel like a princess. Next, the veil was out of stock so they ordered a new one and when I went to pick it up it was still folded up in the small little plastic package it came from the factory in. So when I got home and took it out of the bag it was a wrinkled mess. By comparison, at the bridal boutique, the veil which was the same price came nicely steamed out and hanging on a hanger in a garment bag. Lastly, we felt quite rushed because we had an hour appointment (which goes quicker than you think when you are trying to buy the whole ensemble). So my daughter was rushed to pick out a pair of shoes, which she did. They were out of stock in white so they ordered them for her. The owner tried it on her in a different color with a thin stocking material but I told her I had a slightly thicker knee high sock I wanted it to fit with and the owner said (quite condescendingly I might add) that the sock shouldn't make a difference with a properly fitted shoe. Well guess what? It did make a difference and the shoe is quite snug. And here is the icing on this mediocre cake...the receipt says all sales are final, which they didn't tell me in the store before I paid. So now I am stuck with a $350 dress with loose beads, a crinkled up mess of a veil that I have to try to steam out without destroying the beads that are not very securely attached, and a tight shoe that my daughter will never wear. So beware of what you are getting yourself into if you chose to shop at this store. Whether your concern is about the experience for your child or the actual quality of the merchandise, or both, you may want to explore other options first.

WONDERFUL! I was told about this little boutique located in Scarsdale when I was in search for a communion dress for my goddaughter.From the moment I called and spoke to Sandy til the moment I picked up her beautifully embroidered face mask, Sandy treated me like family.Great selection of dresses but we only had a try on three before my goddaughter fell in love with hers.I can go on and on but long/short you won't be disappointed.

What a great experience. This store has EVERYTHING you could need for your little ones special day- first communion, christening... you name it! The selection is great and options for every budget. You get to try everything on, accessorize and enjoy an experience vs ordering a dress online. The ladies who run the shop are awesome. My little girl loved it!

If you are looking for the perfect place to shop for Christening, Communion or Special Occassion attire, you MUST make a stop at Thistles 'n Things. I shopped at a few different stores to find the perfect dress for my daughter's upcoming Communion. I will tell you from FIRSTHAND experience that the attention and dedication that we received at Thistles 'n Things from Sandy went far beyond what any other store in the Tristate area offered to us. Sandy gave us so much time and dedication as she aided us in finding the perfect fit. Not only did she pay attention to the dress, but also every other detail in between. Thistles 'n Things has a great variety to dress your little one from head to toe. Don't hesitate to make an appointment. They are fantastic and provide no pressure to purchase. Thanks again to Sandy for providing us with a wonderful experience!!!

Perfection!!! Huge selection, super focused personalized service, and everything you need, all in one place. My daughter loved shopping for her First Communion dress here and felt like a princess as she looked through all the dress options and tried them on. I appreciated the advice and kind attention from Janet, who put together a beautiful ensemble for us. I can't recommend this boutique highly enough!!
