Alskling, meaning "Darling" in Swedish, is a tiny boutique filled with brightly colored dresses, tops, and skirts created by Swedish designers and made in the United States. This neighborhood staple has been in the UWS for 17 years and has a sister store in Stockholm with the same romantic and feminine collections.

With new items arriving every Friday, there is huge selection to choose from in sizes petite-2x. Everything is under $250 including lacy tanks, ethereal tunics, and flowy print dresses. Fabric weight, patterns and color palettes are constantly changing with the seasons to reflect modern trends in classic romantic styles. Go-to slip dresses ($68) drape perfectly and come in a wide range of lengths from crop-tank to ankle in classic neutrals, polka dots, and florals. And not only is the feminine collection for women, but matching patterned skirts can be found for children for $39.

The perfect boutique for flowy romantic dresses and brightly colored staples, this Swedish spot doesn't disappoint with its whimsical collection with a flair for the theatrical.
