About Bellisima
Womenswear boutiques live or die on fit, and the ones worth returning to are the ones where someone will tell you honestly that a cut runs small. Bellisima trades from 2271 Harvey Avenue, an address on the Dilworth side of Kelowna that close to ninety other businesses share, which is a fair clue that you are heading for a large indoor retail block rather than a single storefront with a parking meter out front.
Shoppers coming across from Rutland or down the hill from Black Mountain tend to make one trip of it, so it helps to know what you are after before you arrive. A call to 250-717-8876 is the quickest way to ask whether a particular size or colour is out on the floor, whether something can be held for you, and how exchanges are handled on a gift. The shop keeps a website as well, which is worth a look first.
Kelowna spreads along the lake and up the benches rather than folding into one walkable core, so plan the drive. Traffic on this side of the city thickens through the summer, when the valley fills with visitors and the parking lots go the same way. Midweek and earlier in the day are the calmer windows. Anyone who tries things on properly and buys once, rather than making three trips across town, gets the better of a Kelowna shopping afternoon.

Where to shop in Kelowna: three centres and a market
