| - I had a great experience and if for not a run in that made trying on 'the dress' uncomfortable I gave a 2 star reduction but I will explain later.
If you can choose your dress assistant, ask for Angie if . She listens to you and gives you great advise. If it wasn't for that uncomfortable moment, I would have given this review a 5 star rating.
The store is very clean and they have a good amount of the in-store dresses shown online in store...even the sale ones! Dressing rooms are nice and clean. Good lighting and lots of mirrors for different try-ones to happen at the same time without feeling right on-top of each other.
I wanted an A-length dress, but without the underskirt. And even tried on sheath, mermaid and other styles where such underskirt was not required...didn't like them but I don't like the sturdy poof look either, I rather have the loose/draped fabric look. (I'm doing a casual backyard wedding) Angie understood and suggested to try on the 'pencil skirt type slip' and the strapless bra. It was the exact look I was going for with the paired dresses. I am an architect-so I can picture what "structure" underneath the skirt could do to the volume of the dress. I understood that a a-length dress was designed with an a-length underskirt in mind to poof it out. I understood and willingly decided to not do it, because I just don't like it and envision my dress to be a loose version of A lenght.
So this is where i give the first 1 star deduction. Another dress associate came over and commented that it would look nicer with that underskirt. Angie said- she doesn't want it, so I suggested the slip to just keep things in place smoothed out (I loved the look). The other associated shook her had and had to yell across the dressing floor that it needed to be worn with one, because it is designed with one in mind. Even tho I felt her demeaning tone of voice rude to begin with I acknowledged her advice and said I understand but I like and am happy the way it looks right now. Even tho Angie defend me (yay!) saying she (I) likes it this way. That associate wasn't having it and had to continued in her demeaning tone "well then perhaps this is not the dress and you should look for something else". Still in a calm matter I answers I did and I didn't like it I like this look. "enter another dress associate that stood herself next to the rude one" I felt like they are tag teaming now. Because that rude associate kept giving that one a look and glancing at me. While she was standing there cross armed.
Angie and I continued, I even tried on that poofy underskirt even tho she said I didn't have to. I told her I am specifically just wearing it for the other associate. So I tried it on and looked in the mirror hating it, Angie sensed it by my face as I saw my reflection in the mirror, but then the rude associate walks over and starts tugging and adjusting my veil and stuff...saying "see that is the way to wear it". Well I hated it and knew I was going to hate it. I just didn't say anything, the rude associate have some spiel (I ignored it because I still didn't like the way I looked) so when she walked away, Angie came over and said, do you want me to take the underskirt off again? I just nodded and she started to lead the way to the dressing room. I said I didn't care and had her pull it out from underneath right in front of the mirror. I loved the drape look and the veil Angie picked out, I was relieved and yes- that was my dress- the way I wanted it- I rang the bell.
So the rude associate and her lemming walked over again she rolled her eyes cross-armed and whispering to the lemming under her breath. Stomping back and forth. This is the second deduction of star. I almost wanted to just walk out at that point, made me feel uncomfortable and upset-no...no crying, i just felt down.
Angie tho said that it's my dress, my money and I can do whatever I want, I can even wear it as a hat as long as that is what I want and envision. It made me chuckle and I went ahead and ordered it.
Without the run-in I would have given this place 5 stars...6 if it was even possible. Angie is the best, she listens and tries to find the look you are going for, regardless what things are suppose to be...and even in such awkward moments- she Has your back as she is there to help and advise you on your vision!!
Will i come back? Yes - if i see that rude associate and her lemming. No, walking straight out. Only Angie. She is there Fri, Sat, Sun and Tues.
