Back by Popular Demand

One of the most popular items ETC boutique has featured over the past four years is the sweater dress by Radzoli. These dresses and tunics are perfect for layering, wearing with leggings and even pairing with your favorite boots. Each year we feature a variety of these dresses, and they typically sell out quickly.

This year we also are featuring a few other items from Radzoli, such as cardigans, coats and tops.
Don't be surprised if these items disappear quickly from our shelves as our repeat customers typically have their eye out for when these items arrive each fall.

Fall is Happening in ETC boutique!

Today's weather has us thinking about the upcoming change in season, but of course we've been thinking out fall and our customers' needs for several months and our fall/winter inventory has begun to arrive. Any change in seasons in Kansas means one thing: Layering! If you've lived in Kansas for long, you know cool morning can turn into scorching afternoons and warm, humid afternoons can turn into chilly evenings when a cold front comes rushing through.

At ETC boutique, we are aware our customers might need some new options for layering this fall, and the colors are going to be bold and beautiful for your wardrobe options.

We also couldn't resist the option to add to our ready-to-wear from a trend that's been growing in the formalwear field the past couple of years -- the hi-low. You can check out a couple of options with a lace double-slit skirt or a crocheted hi-low skirt, both of which provide a fun bit of elegance to your daily wardrobe.

Another Fun New Clothing Line

During our most recent market trip to Dallas, we spotted one booth that seemed to be buzzing with activity, so we had to check it out. We quickly realized what that buzz was all about. Umgee features quality clothing, comfortable fabrics, beautiful designs and great prices. And unlike many lines, they feature styles that are suitable for all ages.

We were particularly taken with their lace items, which are great for combining with your existing wardrobe to give yourself a new outfit. They also offer bright colors for spring and summer or more natural tones if that is the style you prefer.

Umgee also provides essentials such as their mid-rise skinny jeans, which come in many colors and are suitable for many body shapes and ages. They are comfortable to wear and can be used for dressy or casual wear.
Take a look at many of the pieces that have already arrived, and watch for more coming in the next couple of weeks.
ETC boutique also has a website under construction where you will be able to purchase our items online. We only have a few items available so far, but check it out at etcboutique.net.

Introducing new lines for our customers

One of the exciting things about the fashion business is finding new sources of fun, fashionable clothing for our customers here in Central Kansas. It seems like we cashed in big-time last week at the market with several bold and beautiful new lines we are eager to introduce to you!
First up is a new line from a favorite designer. Clutch purses feature beautiful materials and hardware. Your friends will think you're carrying a $300 purse, but your secret that you paid much less is safe with us!

If you're looking to add some color to your summer wardrobe, Vivante scarves and sun dresses are just the order. These vibrant pieces can combine with your current wardrobe or give you an entire new look with matching pieces. And all are designed in Barcelona, Spain, without the price of a designer label.
ETC now also is your place to find the famous Treska line of jewelry and handbags. We have some bright, beautiful pieces coming (hopefully tomorrow) in addition to the ones that already have arrived.
Next week, we'll preview for you a new line of dresses, tops and shorts that will be arriving over the coming few weeks and into the fall. We've also got more surprises lined up for the fall, so stay tuned in and follow us on Facebook for even more updates.

Transitioning from Prom to Wedding Season

It's been an exciting Prom Season here at ETC boutique as we've enjoyed helping many young ladies find that perfect dress for their special event, and even a few guys find the tuxedo to compliment their date's dress. And like the first sign of spring flowers, we are beginning to see the first sign of Wedding Season, where we get to enjoy working with women and men, girls and boys to build a look that pulls the entire event together.
Whether it be the bridal gown, the groom tuxedo, the mother of the bride dress, dad's tuxedo, the flower girls' oh-so cute dress or the handsome ring-bearers' suit or tuxedo, all are important to making complements for the perfect photos to preserve your memories forever!

ETC loves to outfit mom and grandmother and bride's maids and flower girls with our variety of lines. We also offer suits for purchase or rent for ring bearers. Our tuxedos from Ascot Formalwear are among the most economical in the area as well as being fashionable and with a color-match system to find the perfect colors. We also offer bridal gowns by special order, with prices to meet all budgets. Accessories also are a priority and we offer shoes, headpieces, jewelry and even bridal purses.
And all of these products are available with our usual friendly, professional service so you will have a pleasant experience in ETC boutique.

Prom Season in Full Swing

Seems like Prom is just around the corner, as some schools' big event swings out later this month and Salina's is the first Saturday in April. ETC boutique has enjoyed working with many girls already to get their special dress for this special evening, and we are looking forward to more fun in the coming weeks.
Remember, ETC boutique offers one-of-a-kind dresses for our girls, and we are the only dealer for several brands in this part of Kansas. Some of our favorite dresses come from Karishma Creations and Epic Formals, which both can be found at www.karishmacreations.com, if you'd like to get a head start before shopping for your dress. The best thing about this company, is even if we have to order your dress to fit you, it should be available in two days.
Also, we can outfit your date in a tuxedo from Ascot Formal Wear -- www.ascotformalwear.com -- which has a color match system so you can be sure you and your date will look fantastic together.

The turning of the calendar to 2014 tells us the time for our spring formal dances -- Sadie Hawkins, Valentine's, Prom, 8th Grade Formal -- will be quickly upon us. ETC boutique stands ready to give you a calm shopping experience as you look for just that perfect dress, whether you like lots of bling or something a little more classic and simple.
