D is for Dress at Dalaga

Dalaga has pretty dresses all year round and of course they have pretty dresses for spring AND they were mentioned in New York Magazine for Best Dresses – Best of New York Shopping 2010 — New York Magazine http://nymag.com/bestofny/shopping/2010/dresses/#ixzz0hytuRzVi

The shop is in Greenpoint near the water, a fun place to go. 150 Franklin St., nr. Greenpoint Ave., Greenpoint; 718-389-4049. And here’s what New York Mag had to say:

A lot of boutiques only stock a few dress styles, preferring to focus on easier-to-fit (and therefore faster-selling) categories like T-shirts, knits, and accessories. At Dalaga, Michelle Mangiliman puts an emphasis on the category, so her selection is far more inclusive; you’re just as likely to find a party-appropriate formfitting LBD or vintage-inspired silk style as a crisp, office-appropriate belted shirtdress from a brand like Holy G, BB Dakota, or Alexandra Grecco. Given its neighborhood clientele of twenty- to thirtysomethings, the prices rarely get much over $100, but Mangiliman vets her suppliers for quality and brings in new pieces weekly to appeal to the crowd that might amble past after brunch at Five Leaves.
