By Tocca

I needed a dress for a special event and was told to check this place out seeing as they carry so many lines, including some high end designers. After hearing that they were in Oakville, I was a little sceptical and intimidated, but I was in need, so put my big girl shoes on and went for it. All I can say is WOW. I was totally blown away. Maria, the girl that helped me, was AWESOME! Pulled so many dresses for me to try.. and made me step outside of my comfort zone, which I am so not used to.. Boy am I glad I listened! I have never felt so appreciated as a customer and so glamorous!! I got so many compliments at my function.. something that I am also not used to... What an amazing feeling! First time but will NOT be my last! LOVE LOVE this place!! Thank you!!!

As far as high profile women’s fashion is concerned,, this hot little boutique store is in to a league of its own. Amazing courteous staff, and incredible designs and fashions. The owner, Claire Salisbury is a gem. You will not be disappointed!!

I bought 2 dresses here several years ago. Best place to shop for special occasion dresses Worth the money

Went in to this store with my female family members. Very Limited selection. Overpriced. Found many of the same dresses at other stores for much less of a markup. Also I should note that the staff was unwelcoming to say the least. My mother who has limited mobility tried on about 8 dresses and the older woman who works there with the short hair and glasses left her in the dressing room to help herself as we continued to search. Did not even offer to zip up the dresses or assist ... It was really baffling ... I would think it is the least you can do in a women’s evening gown store ?? It’s worth mentioning that there were NO other customers in the store. Not like she was busy. She even went outside to chase down a pedastrian she knew to have a chat, leaving my mother alone. I went outside to see where she went and we ended up leaving . Passed her on the street and she did not even mention goodbye or make eye contact. Laughably poor customer service. Rude! When another family member inquired about sizing and measurements, this old lady even had the nerve to say “wow, me, me, me! All she is concerned with is herself.” Lady... you work in a dress store. You’re open for like 5 hours (yes super limited hours). Your job is to Zip people up and take measurements. Not that hard. Good luck lmao

What a great shopping experience. The selection to choose from is wonderful since ordering your favourite dress in your favourite colour is an option on a wide assortment of dresses. It also was one stop shopping as they had a complete selection of accessories and even shoes to choose from!! I loved working with the girls to pick my amazing look.

I was shopping for a formal event and was recommended to visit By Tocca. It was so hard to make a selection though as they had so many beautiful dresses to chose from! Claire Salisbury has an amazing fashion sense and she outfit me from head to toe!! You will walk away looking like a Queen!!

I recently visited By Tocca to look for a mother of the bride dress. I fell in love with one, only to be informed that the store did not have my size and that they could not order one in as it was no longer being manufactured. Kari, however, saved the day. She went above and beyond the call of duty. She called the dress manufacturer and they were able to tell her what other stores in Canada received the dress and what size. It happened that a store in Montreal had received one, and Kari asked for their phone number, called on my behalf, verified that they still had it, asked them to send a picture via text to verify, and then left it to me to place an order. The dress arrived at my door 4 days later and I am thrilled.Kari, thank you so very much! I owe you a bottle of wine and look forward to delivering it in person when I am next in Oakville. Your customer service and helpfulness truly reflect the quality of the store and its beautiful dresses.

I have purchased many dresses from By Tocca through the years. The staff are so helpful in finding me the special dress/gown. They carry many Canadian designers which is fantastic! I also have bought a couple of Smythe blazers at By Tocca. I have even purchased tops that I can wear with a pair of jeans. I have been so impressed that I refer many friends when they are looking for that special dress/gown.

A great high end store for ladies evening wear and cocktail dresses. They also have some beautiful jewelry. Shoes are not in display but they have some nice ones available too. Everyone there seems very helpful. Claire helped me find dresses that not only suited me but actually for me and I left there feeling wonderful about myself thanks to her!!

I disliked shopping until working with Claire and her staff at By Tocca. What used to be a frustrating experience has turned into one I look forward to every time I go back. There is nothing better than walking into the boutique, and completely handing over the reins to Claire. She knows what will what work best for me (and now, my friends and family too). Her eye is flawless, the atmosphere is always fun (as shopping should be) and I love wearing her Canadian designers.
