| - I completely agree with the first reviewer.
I have purchased two dresses from this store for a couple cotillions that required 9 girls to purchase the exact same dress. The store is colour coordinated so it was great for that reason. The first dress was a red chiffon imitated floor length gown with a rose strap on one shoulder. The second dress was a purple v-neck knee-length dress with ruching at the front.
The prices are less than average compared to most stores, but be mindful that you are paying for quality. All of us 9 girls had trouble keeping up one side of the first dress. There are several pictures of us holding up the one side of the dress, and yes we did try pinning the strapless side to our strapless bras however, it was a pretty heavy floor length gown. After the entrance and the waltz (which we spent the majority of the time pulling up our gowns) we all changed into our own dresses.
A year after another friend (from the same cotillion) celebrated her birthday. This time it was pretty evident that floor length gowns, and a dress with minimal support is NOT a great choice for dancing.
Make sure to try on the dresses in different sizes. Both my dresses are a size small, but the red one was too long and a bit too big. They are very limited in sizes because the x small was way too small, and it's not like I had a choice on what dress style I could purchase. The other dress was again, a bit big, but at least it had two thick straps for support.
Now onto the store's service.
There is one lady that I met on both occasions. Blond, glasses, hair cut just before the shoulders. Doesn't smile, and looks irritated. If you have kids, especially a baby, she will ask you to leave. If you aren't buying or do not state what event you are purchasing a dress for, she will ask you to leave. We witnessed her doing this to other customers on both occasions. When purchasing, she will look at the size of the dress, then look at you from head to toe, and analyze if she thinks you are too big or too small for the dress. She did this to a couple of my friends after they tried on the dress. It was extremely rude and embarrassing, especially because the sizes she recommended did not fit right at all.
If you would like to see a picture of the dresses and how they fit, you can message me.
