| - They were the only store in town that carried the tea length dress I saw online and desperately needed to try on. Needless to say, I fell in love with the dress and said, "yes!"
Inventory:
-Prices range from $700-1800
-Styles are mostly "glamorous" and "sexy"
(Less high fashion or modern but they had a few styles)
-They had the most tea length gowns of the stores I'd seen in town
-designers include Justin Alexander and MoriLee, Sottero
-bridesmaid dress selection - wide range of colors, however your typical shiny organza material
-handful of veils in different lengths from cathedral to birdcage prices from $55-200
-dye-able shoes - did not inquire on prices
Service:
Hours are not great if you work 9-5, they close at 6 on weekdays. Call ahead for appointment to try on dresses. Someone will help you get in and out of the gowns, style you, etc. The owner is very sweet, and tries to be the liaison between the bride and her (opinionated) posse. She compliments you and makes you feel beautiful, but be warned, I tried on several dresses that were hideous on me, and she just pointed out the positives. Stick to your gut feeling about the dresses you try on.
Half deposit due at purchase the rest at pick up
Delivery:
Dress arrived six months after ordering. The store called, picked up in large garment bag and brought back later for fittings.
Alterations:
Holy expensive and misquoted originally! This is where I'm taking off one star because the service on the alterations were disappointing.
When purchasing my dress, the owner suggested I get a sweetheart neckline on my dress, said it would be $125 for all alterations total including bust and length if needed. False.
Sweetheart neckline $185
Cups $55
Take in bust $160
Can't even imagine how much taking up the length or adding a bustle would cost
The seamstress pins you etc and THEN quotes you. So you're kind of stuck. You come back for two more fittings and then you're set. Something happened during my second fitting, I don't think they had me in their books... There were NO alterations done on my dress. The front staff was very confused when I arrived and then after waiting 20 mins, the seamstress seemed to have made up some lie about someone taking a couple of pins out. Super unprofessional. While the actual alterations were executed well, I'm super disappointed by the service. I would suggest taking your dress somewhere else (there are other tailors in town experienced in wedding gowns).
Overall, I loved my dress and got a ton of compliments. I just didn't love feeling taken advantage of price wise based on the "this is the only time you're getting married" theme.
