This place is AMAZING!! After a tough first day of dress shopping my bridesmaid called Bowties because the carried the designer I liked. We got an appointment the next day (Sunday) which is awesome because not everyone is open on Sunday's and my Mom and MOH were leaving that night. Laurie was my consultant and she was awesome with over 20 years of experience she really knew what she was doing.
To start off we were early and they took us right away and showed us how the store was designed. In one section was the clearance dress and then the other was the rest of the dresses. The regular priced dresses where organized by how high they were on the waist and then slowly progressed down to trumpet/mermaid on the other side of the room. The best part of this was they also had the pictures of the dresses on the outside of the bag. That way you could get an actual idea of what the dress was like.
Laurie had me in the first dress in a matter of seconds we were all shocked! She only allowed me 1 favorite at first and then at one point a top 2 because i had 2 dresses I fell in love with. She also had a rule if the dress didn't fit over my hips properly that style was out as it would not look good on me or be comfortable. Within 45 minutes i was down to 2 dresses and Finally "Said Yes to the Dress" After spending close to 6 hours dress shopping the day before we were so excited how quickly I had found one here.
I truly believe I would have never found my dress without Laurie and her colleagues, their seamstress showed me different ways I could bustle the dress and also explained what I would have to change on my dress if I lost weight and how much weight equaled a dress size. I am so thankful for Bowties and can't wait to go in for my fitting next year!
