This place isn't THAT bad. It was okay, I would have to say better service than others, but the environment isn't amazing.
I actually was hesitant to come here. Came here once for BMs dresses, and we found the ladies pretentious and snobby. Fittings were okay, but we were young and did not know how to speak our minds. The dresses came out strange, some okay, one of the girls hems inner taffeta sewn on backwards, the boning was pointy and sometimes the sewing was crooked. The Bridea's dress was also bought from here, and it ended up ripping in the middle of the evening, bc they forgot that she needed to eat, apparently.
Fast forward a few years later, and I am in her shoes. The prices range from $900 to $3000 (not bad) and today there was a sample sale where the dresses were 50% off.
We get there, and bridal was upstairs. The place is tiny. So cramped, and a small lounge area with couches. I don't think there should even be more than two bridal parties up there.
There were people ordering their dresses, another group of people waiting, and about 3 other girls trying dresses.
They didn't offer us any water or anything, but gave it to us in a teeny cup when we asked. The room we got was the biggest for me and my mom.It was some office space. From the looks of it, seems like they had some suites like this, but also just a square room.
What I liked was that the dresses weren't all over for you to try and take a look. Instead, the consultant asked me all the details (except for the venue) and pulled according to my style. The bad thing is that , could there have been dresses that I never saw?
I had told her I was into an Alfred Sung dress, and I was impressed that with my criteria, it was also brought to me (maybe she also only had two AS dresses in stock as well, who knows).
I did end up finding another dress that my mom also liked and became a contender. so I have a tough decision to make.
One thing I do know, is that I will probably get another store to order the dress for me, and buy it from them. I don't like their seamstresses, and i don't want to risk it.
I would recommend here (one of the oldest bridal stores) to try on dresses if you're searching. I believe the styles they carry are more traditional than others. And perhaps they have a lot of different stock (just look at their website) which is why the girls have to pull the dresses for you.
The one weird thing, is that when they give you style numbers or ask for more info about a style on their website, they do not give you the Actual Designer name and Style number, it's the reference number for Ritche only. Well, the magic of computers, you can do a reverse image search, and you'll most likely find it.
