| - Less than zero star is what it deserves.
I live in the area and have passed by Classic Bride and Formal many times. I've seen the gowns they display outside their front porch and I've been curious about the store. That's right, I said front porch. This store is in a converted old and small house, with emphasis to small.
This year, we actually had a reason to go in the store because my daughter was looking for prom dresses. We did not want to go to department stores where they sell mass-produced gowns. When we walked in, the middle-aged woman at the front desk eyed us from head to toe and RUDELY asked if we had an appointment. I said no and I added that I didn't know I had to have appointment to walk in and browse for prom dresses (I totally understand if someone wants to try wedding gowns, yes, an appointment will be needed to ensure there's an assigned consultant. But for prom dresses?). She RUDELY said that they are already expecting people with appointments so there won't be any available dressing rooms. Without breaking a smile nor warmth, she coldly pointed to her right where the formal dresses are.
The room was very small and claustrophobic. With the dresses against the walls and a couple of racks in middle, there was hardly any room to walk around. My daughter and went around one time and I have to say with all honesty that the dresses were NOT anything to be desired, especially with prices of several hundred dollars. My daughter thought the dresses were very old fashioned. The room smelled like a grandmas attic. We left within five minutes because of the smell and the lack of air in the room.
Be warned, if you have claustrophobia, or don't have an appointment, do not waste your time here. You'll save yourself the experience of being eyed down by RUDE person. There are more professional boutiques close by with better selections and with lots of airy space.
