| - Getting really tired of this store. For a long time it was the only place I could shop in Calgary that even resembled the style I wanted, so I came here a lot. Recently I have tried to stop buying things from here because their clothes are just getting to be of worse and worse quality. I bought a really cute, delicate blouse here a few weeks ago for work. I wore it to work once, and by 10:30 am I visited the bathroom and upon looking in the mirror, saw that it had ripped in TWO places; the right sleeve was literally about to fall off.Thankfully I had a sweater with me so I could take it off, but I was so angry. It cost 75 bucks and it ripped within 3 hours of wear. And this is not the first time something like this has happened. Their jewelry is overpriced, their shirts and sweaters lacking in substance (which becomes obvious in the winter especially...), and their dresses stupidly expensive and poorly made.
The quality of the service depends on the day; my worst experience being when I wanted to try on a bright pair of 80s-inspired sandals for fun (maybe that's a loser thing to do but whatever, I'm a paying customer and they had them available) and had to try on my clothing first before trying the shoes. Some employee I hadn't seen earlier came in and laughed to the girl that had helped me, asking who those sandals were for... she replied with my name (awkward since I could hear them) and they laughed. I was literally RIGHT there, in the changing room closest to where the employees stand. So rude- I walked out of the store immediately. Sometimes the service is good though, it really just depends since there are so many people that work there.
All that being said, I have good luck with skirts here, as well as socks and cheap sunglasses. I was also grateful for the store credit I got when I returned the blouse without a receipt. The sale selection also has some well-priced shirts from time to time. But now that Calgary is getting more and more interesting clothing stores I don't think I will make any effort to come here again.
