I just purchased my dress from Sash & Bustle today, and the experience was fantastic.
The initial visit was earlier in the week, and I immediately loved the feeling in the store. Andrea was warm and positive and quickly put my nerves about the whole process at ease. I had a lot of fun.
The collection is incredibly well chosen and reasonably priced - I left after my first consult with three possibilities that I really loved. The best part was that I felt no pressure to purchase - I was encouraged to come back after I had my appointment with Klienfelds this afternoon and see how I was feeling.
When I returned for my second appointment, Andrea and Vanessa were both there - and Andrea remembered everything about our first appointment (my style, stuff I was insecure about, details we had discussed). Again it was such a fun experience, and I came out with a dress that I cannot wait to put on again.
They encourage you to take pictures, and Andrea suggested taking a video which really helped to see how I move in the dress. The store is comfortable and beautiful and my bridesmaids and mom had a blast too. Such a personal experience that I won't soon forget. Thanks ladies!
