The most exclusive selection in Houston!

by davidderick

I just moved here and all the girls at the club mentioned Tootsies. I'm so glad they did! Excellent selection, customer care and beautiful, beautiful clothes, accessories and shoes! I bought a new Jimmy Choo Ramona bag in taupe plus shoes and had to stop shopping before my husband had a heart attack! Love it!

Good Experience

by stimpy1cat

After looking all over town for a simple yet elegant wedding dress I stopped in here because they sold a line of dresses I was interested in. The sales person was extremely helpful, and even though they didn't have exactly what I wanted he brought out the designer's book and said they could order any of the dresses . I ended up ordering one, but still wasn't sure. They let me take the dress home to think about it (and show my mom) and said I could bring it back if I changed my mind. The whole experience was so refreshing after spending dozens of hours in snooty bridal boutiques. I can see how some people might find this place a little pretentious--it seems like mainly rich older women from River Oaks shop here--but I had a good experience and every one was very helpful.

• Pros: Designers, Dresses
• Cons: Expensive

I had never been to, or heard of, Tootsie's until today. A friend recommended it to me, and I went there to shop for a Valentine's Day dress for my girlfriend. Not one, but TWO, saleswomen helped me pick out the perfect dress (as it was clear I had no idea what I was doing). Yes, the prices are expensive, but they are basically what you would expect for the selection they offer. They also included a beautiful gift-wrap at no charge.

• Pros: Service, Selection, Style
• Cons: Expensive, Intimidating

i have to say that for the most part i agree with all of the negative reviews seen on this website. the sales people will flat out ignore you if you aren't wearing the right logos when walking into the store. it's so pathetic. the store's saving grace is that it really does have a great selection and you don't have to battle the galleria to get to it. parking is a cinch.

• Pros: great selection, easy parking
• Cons: expensive, pretentious

SNOB

by ladyomega

I had a horrible experience. I was made to feel so inferior by a bunch of insecure, reconstructed people. They have to act so snob to feel that they can blend in with the "Rich" . Oh, I had money to spend, but heck if I was going to take that kind of treatment. I can get insulted eleswhere, thanks but no thanks; you're not that original.

• Pros: nice store, lots of things
• Cons: snobs, rude, , insecure sales ppl., very expensive

Over-rated

by melank

The sales people were rude and acted superior. I went in prepared to buy an outfit for a special occasion and left disgusted.

• Cons: crowded parking, area traffic

One-stop shopping for women who buy superchic formal and everyday wear on a regular basis.

The Scene
This is a place where women who are serious about looking good--and have the means to pay premium prices--outfit themselves for life. The look is rich and hip but not too wild, with everything from ball gowns to casual wear to shoes and bags to jewelry and day planners. To learn about how the fashionable half lives, hang out at Tootsies and take in the conversations floating around.

The Goods
There's an impressive array from two of the hottest designers of the moment, Custo (he of the surprisingly affordable, cleverly designed T-shirts) and Lilly Pulitzer (yes, the pink-and-green preppy queen). The sale rack usually has a healthy selection of desirable items, with pretty embellished tank tops for less than $100.

Wonderful experience!

by cgon

Before going to Tootsie's for the first time today, I read all of the reviews posted here. I was very apprehensive about going because of all the things written about the sales staff. But I decided to go anyway because they are having their bi-annual sale. My experience was more than pleasant. My salesperson was friendly and attentive and never once made me feel that I shouldn't be in the store. As a matter of fact, she made me feel quite welcome. I can't afford to shop there all the time, but I will definitely be back!

• Pros: Great Sale!!, Fabulous designers!, Good parking
