| - I was prepared for a terrible experience coming in here, but it was okay.
I came in for my 1pm appointment with my mom, and saw two girls just finishing. Although we had to wait for the girl previous to leave, it was okay as we got a chance to browse the dresses, and they had someone there who wasn't your consultant to chit chat with you.
I kind of wished that the women who spoke to me first was to help me, as she seemed to understand what I was looking for. Instead, when it was finally my turn, it was someone else, and I had to explain myself all over again.
Are they pretentious in here? A little, but keep in mind that the dresses are any where from $3000+, but I felt they were mostly $5000 to $10k. Be prepared for this, and that is why you are here. I have to say that there is something to be said about the quality and workmanship here and compared with some of the other Yorkville boutiques with similar dresses at this price, it just doesn't compare.
The dresses here are beautiful, and be careful if you're not willing to pay. I tried on a beautiful $6500 mermaid dress. But I don't like the style. They told me that they can alter it, and pull up the entire waist line to wherever I wanted. Alternations at flat fee $850 for whatever you would want done.
After the seamstress pinned my new cut, I loved it. And I cried. But, alas, I may have to let this one go.
(aside: I find it interesting that there are many stores that have dresses $2,500 and under and many that go above that, but i haven't come across anything in between!)
As I was leaving, the lady had disappeared and on to the next girl, with another family waiting for their turn. Seems like they have lots of business, but not enough people to service.
