Partridge In A Pear Tree

Never again. Beware… I was ripped off! Purchased a gown after trying on several and the owner, who can be very rude, brought me a gown without a price tag. It also had a jacket that was very plain. When I checked out, I believe the price was inflated and not close to the price of the others I tried. I opted to purchase it any way and was told to leave it and come back later for a fitting. Why, when I paid in full, wasn’t I «allowed» to take it with me? After getting a recommendation from a friend to not have them alter, I picked up my gown and took it to a seamstress. I was shocked when I tried the gown on! It was not the gown I purchased! It was similar, but did not have the original jacket! The jacket was ornate and nothing like the one I originally selected! To make matters worse, my seamstress showed me several places where it had previously been altered! I called the shop and was made to feel like I was insane and told that it indeed was what I had selected. And, told there are no returns or exchanges! I feel that my original purchase was swapped out for something that was worn before! I should have known better. The store smells and is not heated. In fact, I had to kick a stink bug out of the dressing room! NEVER trust this store! I was taken advantage of and cheated!

Went here for a last minute formal. Very little in my size (4) but the one i tried fit perfectly. No one offered to help me until I asked if I could try some on that I selected. I think they looked at me a little down because i came in jeans and sneakers. I too was not allowed to try in ones that they didn’t think were appropriate for the affair I was going to. I was about to buy some earrings but they broke when she went to take them off the card (don’t know why she needed to take it off the card) Even though I loved the dress I purchased. This would not be my first stop next time. I also thought they were a little pricey.

One star is too good of a rating for this store. I went to this store with my mother to shop for a mother of the bride dress for my wedding and had a terrible experience. Not only were the women rude, but they made several snide comments about my mothers size and would declare loudly, «oh you need a larger size!» when something didn’t fit. Then I brought a red dress over for my mother to try which was promptly taken out of my hands by one of the saleswomen. Both my mother and I asked that she be allowed to try it on, but the woman was insistent that a mother of the bride should never wear red so there was no point in trying it on. My mother then asked nicely if she wouldn’t mind her just trying it to look at the style and the woman responded, «I do mind!!! You’re not trying it!» Needless to say, our fun afternoon was totally ruined and my mother was very upset and hurt, not to mention angry. I have never experienced anything like this and will never be going back there.
I would avoid this store at all costs and will be telling everyone I know about how terrible the service is there!

If I could give negative stars I would. My sister and my mother went shopping here for a mother of the bride dress. My mother is a size 18 in formal wear. The helper not only insisted that she wear a 20 or 22, but said very loud and obnoxiously «We don’t have anything in YOUR size.» in front of about a dozen or so customers.
That someone would be so idiotic, cruel and rude is beyond me. My mother called them «rude and insulting.» DO NOT GO HERE!

I went shopping here with a friend who was looking for a dress. When we got in the store, we didn’t know where to start. There is no real organization to the store that I could see. There was the same ugly top placed throughout the store. It is the type of store where you tell them what you are looking for and what size and they walk to a hanging section that feels unorganized and pull stuff out for you to try on.
The woman who helped us started out very nice until she found out how much money my friend wanted to spend, around $ 150.00. They aparrantly don’t have any dresses less than $ 225.00. My friend said that she wanted to try on some dresses. Aparantly the merchandise they carry is «European». The woman working said it several times. These were very plain dresses for how much they cost, there was nothing great about them. I am sure if you are willing to spend $$$ they would be really helpful but we felt like we got the brush-​off.
My friend’s mom swears by this store and loves shopping here. I guess it depends on what kind of shopping experience you like. If you like to browse, forget it. You would get lost in the merchandise.
