Baltimore - Synchronicity Boutique, the Baltimore-Washington area’s “hottest special occasion clothing and accessory shop for adults and teens,” was named “Baltimore’s Best Prom Store” in Baltimore Magazine’s “Best of Baltimore” issue, now out on newsstands. 

As stated in Baltimore Magazine: “When prom season gears up, Synchronicity is buzzing with giddy girls trying on dresses in a huge variety of sizes. And [their] meticulous binder – a catalogue of which dress is being worn at which school – helps keep repeats (and teen angst) to a minimum.”

“Being named ‘Best of Baltimore’ means the world to me,” said Synchronicity Boutique Owner Karen Mazer. “It’s gratifying to know that we have the support of so many amazing young women, their families, their schools, their friends and the media.”

Synchronicity Boutique is the only Baltimore-Washington retailer – and just one of two in Maryland -- recognized by the Top 10 Prom organization as one of the nation’s Top 10 prom stores. This year alone, it sold approximately 1,000 prom dresses, sizes 00 to 30W, in a variety of price points.

“We are committed to giving our customers personal attention to help them select the right dress for their figure and budget in order for them to feel beautiful and shine on their special day,” Mazer said.

Some of the many designers included Sherri Hill, Tony Bowls, La Femme, Mac Duggal, Night Moves by Allure, Jovani, Faviana, Terani Couture, Jessica McClintock, Mori Lee, Party Time Formals and Precious Formals – many of whom plan to personally visit Synchronicity Boutique for private trunk shows.

For each prom dress purchase, the Boutique donated $5 to the customer’s school for its after-prom party,SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk) chapter or other programming – supporting a total of 154 schools. It also gave a cash contribution to the non-profit Priceless Gown Project, plus additional gift certificate and merchandise donations to schools and other organizations. Combined, the donations totaled approximately $6,000.

Truly outfitting the prom girl from head to toe, Synchronicity Boutique also carries “prom bling” and accessories, including jewelry, purses, Spanx and undergarments, Hollywood fashion tape, wraps and footwear.

In addition to prom, Synchronicity Boutique outfits customers from all over the world for Bat Mitzvahs, cocktail parties, Cotillions, homecomings, ring dances, graduations, Quinceaneras, Sweet Sixteens, college formals, military balls, pageants, weddings and other black-tie events.
