| - By far my worst experience at a bridal shop and I felt the need to share it.
(And I'm usually a pretty laid back gal)'
I called a month in advance from Ireland where I live to verify of they have a specific dress. They did not have the dress but the associate asked about my budget and was telling me about the fact that they have about 800 dresses and that I will probably find something else that is similar to the model I was looking for. I was convinced and booked an appointment during my next visit in Montreal.
On the D-day, I drive from Montréal to Ste-Dorothée, after an inspiring visit at Oui Je Le Voeux, excited to try on further amazing dresses. At my arrival, I was greeted with a smile and my mom and I were told to wait in the back room/fitting room. We waited for 15 mins. Then the sales associate arrived, sat down and confidently told me she knows her inventory by heart so we don't need to look at it on the ipad. I then showed her pictures of my ideal dresses (v neck, open back).
She left for 5 min. Comes back with 1 dress, half my size, opposite of what I asked for (high neck, covered back), I say I don't like it. Another 5 minutes wait. She comes back with a second one, half my size again, pretty much the same as the first one. We go for a third round. Same again. My mom proceeds to say: 'I feel like they are all the same (which was true!) and kind of dull..', the sales associate bluntly and defensively answers: well.. it's just bringing what she(me) is asking me' When she left to get another dress, my mom and I were just shocked at how little she was listening to me and how rude she was to the one that would ultimately pay for the dress. She finally came back after 5 other minutes of me waiting in the middle of a cold little room full of spotlights sporting only my underwear only to tell me: Well seriously I'm sorry but I have nothing else. Your budget is too low (1500) I don't know, there is nothing..I'm sorry..'
We felt she just did not feel like it and gave up.
We left after trying only 3 dresses, that were half my size, being told lace is 'too expensive for my little budget'... actually 5 minutes with a dress on me, about 35 min inside the shop..
For that big decision, the moment where you need to feel supported, understood and respected,
You can guess I'd say to avoid it, unless you like to overpay, get sales associate get rude to your mom and so on.
