Editorial Review for Dorothy's Boutique – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
The accessories are sure to make the outfit at Dorothy's Boutique, where customers encounter an impressive collection of shoes, wigs, Halloween makeup, tiaras, boas and hats--and all other necessary costume accoutrements. Horrify the trick-or-treaters by applying some tooth fix (available in black or nicotine decay), fake skin and 3-D gel. And dogs don't have to miss out on Halloween fun, either, as lil' devil and fairy-princess pet costumes are sold as well.

this place is atrocious. the men who work there have no customer service skills. when disputing an item that i ordered and didn't come in i was actually cursed at, which i won't repeat here. do boston a favor and let it go out of business by going somewhere else. people like that don't deserve your business and you don't deserve the aggravation.

If you're more of a browser than an actual customer, or even if you have been a customer for who knows how long, it would not matter, because I was recently accused by the manager/owner of the store of shoplifting a pair of earrings from the store when I wasn't even in the store the day he said that I had committed the crime. I was embarrassed because he confronted me in front a store full of people and my younger sister without taking me aside, and irritated because when I asked for proof, he denied me and said that "...I just don't trust you, and you have stucky fingers..." I can honestly tell you that as long as I have been going there, about eight or nine years, I have never had any intentions of shoplifting or stealing. Their merchandise could easily be found in other establishments and aren't really worth shoplifting. A few of my other friends whom I've known for years have also been victim to this false accusation and I have been with all of them when it happened. So please, take my advice, and DO NOT GO TO THIS STORE!

Pros: Okay selection of wigs and footwear, diverse staff

Cons: Browsers are always under suspicion, no matter if that is all they're doing or not.
