Lot 8

Awesome shop!

by EKB at Citysearch

I stopped into Lot 8 a little scared of what the prices might do to my credit card. I was happily surprised when I found many options in the $50-$200 range! I was looking for a dress for a special party being thrown for me and my fiance. I told Sydney what I was looking for and she was ON it. She found me so many options and eventually brought a dress to me from the sale section, which was PERFECT (and a steal!). They do alterations on-site, so even though the dress was a couple sizes too big, they are making it to fit me for just $25! I'm going to end up with a very unique, beautiful, custom-fit dress for under $80. I will definitely be visiting Lot 8 again!

• Pros: Staff, great selection, reasonable prices available
• Cons: Some expensive items

A great experience.

It was interesting to read everyone else's reviews after having been to the store myself. I found the staff at Lot 8 to be some of the most helpful staff I've encountered in a high fashion boutique--and I live in L.A. Everyone was eager to see what I'd tried on, give me suggestions for other things, and pretty much fought each other every time I picked something out to put my chosen clothes in a dressing room. I didn't even end up buying anything, but the staff were tremendously helpful and one of the reasons I enjoyed the experience so much!

Not to mention, I fell completely in love with a (very expensive) dress there that I am lobbying to get for a combined birthday and Christmas present, and I've never NEEDED a dress before. This one, I need. Even if you're dubious, I think it's worth going there yourself once, just to get your own opinion on it. I, personally, loved it; plus, Chloe was there! And liked her dress on me! You can't get a better compliment than that.

• Pros: staff, Chloe Dao, great clothing, atmosphere
• Cons: sale items aren't too great, clothes only made for a certain body type

Mediocre Clothes, Small Section, Unprofessional and Unhelpful Staff

by isaraarasi at Citysearch

I've been in Lot 8 a few times and it has always been a disappointment. The selection is very small, and the quality of clothes don't merit the prices asked. Also, the staff there is awful! Every time I've been there, half of them are talking with each another ignoring the customers. Also, they are not knowledgeable about clothing or shoes. I've lived in NYC and L.A., and it's a shame that this shop is touted as one of Houston's "designer boutiques." Please don't waste your time by visiting this shop!!!

• Pros: none
• Cons: unknowledgeable and inattentive staff, mediocre clothes
