This is not a shop you wander into on a weekday afternoon. Brittany’s Boutique describes itself as a concierge service with a physical location in Merrimack, New Hampshire, open by appointment only; its booking page repeats the same thing. Public listings show weekend hours — Saturday and Sunday — with everything else scheduled. Call (603) 566-4107 before you drive.
What the appointment buys is a room to yourself instead of a rack scrum. The store calls itself a personal shopping boutique and lists prom, pageant, mother-of-the-bride, bridesmaid and cocktail dresses in adult and child sizes, including plus sizes, plus formal jumpsuits. Reviews aggregated from Google put it around 4.9 stars across roughly 60 ratings.
What’s on the racks
Six labels list this store on their own official retailer locators: Ava Presley, Clarisse, Colette, Jessica Angel, Johnathan Kayne and Jovani. The shop’s about page names more of its own — Sherri Hill, Mac Duggal, Tiffany Designs, Tarik Ediz, Nox Anabel, and the girls’ pageant lines Little Rosie and Ritzee. Designer rosters turn over season to season, so treat any list as a starting point and ask what is actually in the building the week you come.
The Shopify site shows a fraction of the stock. The store says outright that it carries many more dresses than it lists online and points shoppers to its Facebook page, which has more than 15,000 followers and is where new arrivals get posted. Scroll that before your appointment and bring screenshots.
Read the policy before you fall for a dress
- Every sale is final. The written return policy is blunt: no refunds, exchanges, returns or credits, in store or online.
- No alterations on site. The store states this plainly and notes alterations are an additional cost. Line up your own tailor and leave time — hemming and taking in a long gown is not a same-week errand in April.
- Sizing runs by designer. The shop’s guidance is to check the individual designer’s chart and buy to your largest measurement, then alter the rest.
- Bring your wear date. If a special order is out of stock and cannot arrive in time, the store says it will contact you within 72 hours and refund.
Taken together, those four facts describe how to shop here: come with your date, your budget and your shoes, decide in the room, and own the decision when you walk out.
Who drives to 387
The address sits on Route 3, the surface road that runs the length of Merrimack alongside the Everett Turnpike — the same strip as the Anheuser-Busch brewery at 221 and a short run from the Merrimack Premium Outlets off Exit 10. Parking on this corridor is not a problem; the turn off a 45-mph highway is the only tricky part.
Merrimack High School on McElwain Street is the town’s public high school, and its students are the closest customers. Past that, the draw is everything inside a short turnpike run: Nashua North and Nashua South, Bishop Guertin, Souhegan in Amherst, Hollis-Brookline about ten miles west, Bedford, Milford, Londonderry. Two students from rival schools can absolutely book the same Saturday, which is another argument for asking what has already gone out the door to your prom.
Coming up from Massachusetts
Merrimack is about 35 miles northwest of Boston, straight up Route 3, and tax-free shopping is the usual reason given for crossing the line. Be realistic about the size of that break on a gown: Massachusetts exempts clothing up to $175 per item and taxes only the amount above that at 6.25%, so a $500 dress saves roughly $20 here. Real money, not a reason on its own. The one-appointment-at-a-time format is the reason — the volume alternatives, David’s Bridal and the mall floors at Pheasant Lane, are all down the same road in Nashua and work nothing like this.
