Miz Scarletts

This place has VERY BEAUTIFUL dresses for just about ANY formal occasion. Brought my sister here to look for a prom dress and the selections were endless. It’s very hard to pick the perfect one.

Man, what a fun place. I am a guy who was dragged in by his wife looking for mother of the groom dress. Susan was a fabulous host and a great purveyor of fine French dresses. We didn’t partake, but I hear she serves a mean marguarita!

Buy your amazing dress as it is and leave and never, ever pay for anything you don’t have in your hand. Yes, this store is amazing. If you let them alter your dress, you will be sorry you ever laid eyes on the shop. Susan will tell you whatever she thinks you want to hear to make the sale. She cut both of my dresses too short and nothing ever came in or was completed when Susan said it would be ready. Unfortunately I recommended the store to a friend. Her daughter was sitting in the shop at 9pm the day before her pagent waiting for the dress to be finished. Then the beads fell off at the pagent.

I have looked thru all the negative comments and I have to say, I feel bad that some of you had a bad experience and refuse to TRY them again. Now, Miz Scarletts is NOT your typical dress shop and Ms Susan is NOT your typical owner and sales woman. She knows her product, her store and dresses. I have visited with her on 2 occasions and I loved both. I read where someone said there were too many sparkles, beads and bows. But it is truly unfair to say that about this shop. She has a dress for ANYTHING that wants to wear a dress. She has every color, every size and accessories like non other. Her dress go from Chic, sophisticated, gaudy and Drag. someone mentioned that her dresses were $ 500 and up and to that I say Ma’am YOU ARE A LIAR and THE TRUTH AIN’T in you! I saw dresses from $ 150 and up, so there IS a dress for every budget. While there were 1000’s of dresses there were not a lot of the same dress which made me happy because I felt as though the dress I bought would not be seen at the same event I am attending. Miz Scarletts dressing room is fine. They are there to help you to put on your dress and assure is does not get damaged and if its not the right fit there is someone there to get you the size you want. When you go to Loeman’s you dress in a communal dressing room and u get no help just a view of strange tails and tits. Unless you are looking for an off the rack special I suggest you go to the rack and find it yourself. Formal dresses at any shop that specializes in dress has to be ordered 6 to 8 weeks in advance and if u never visit the store for alterations, the dress comes «as is». Don’t blame your poor planning on others. Miz Scarletts offers alterations on some dresses but she highly recommends a lady not even a block away who is reasonable and fast. Plan ahead next time. I loved my experience at Miz Scarletts and I recommend this place to ANYONE. If you enter Miz Scarletts and can’t find a dress there because u see NOTHING you like… GO NAKED because u my dear will never be satisfied!!!

I bought a pageant dress for my daughter at Miz Scarlett’s. Shopping here is a blast. It reminds me of dreams I’ve had of walking through a giant closet stuffed with fabulous dresses. It’s a quirky place, not a place where I’d go to order anything – if you want to do that, go to David’s Bridals or go online. No, this is where you go to TRY ON dozens of incredible dresses and take one home. I also would never expect to get alterations done here. Go to the Korean lady on N. Druid Hills Rd for that.
We had a wonderful experience. The pushy sales lady and Susan were actually very helpful and patient while my daughter tried on dresses for hours. The dresses were expensive, but what do you expect? You can’t run a treasure trove like this without selling some dresses and making a profit. We found a spectacularly beautiful dress and shoes and came away very satisfied.
This is not your typical formal wear shop. Don’t listen to the derogatory reviews. Go. Expect a slightly huckster-​ish, carnival-​esque, dazzling, dramatic experience – it’s fun!

Holy God in Heaven. It’s like monster plantation as a ladies’ store.
It’s as though the elder spirits of every feather-​festooned, ballad lip-​synching drag queen, every eccentric parakeet and lap dog– owning old southern lady, every faded pageant ultimate grand supreme yearning for one more drop of spotlight have converged in this dusty technicolor showroom.
If drag has a soul, a swan song distilled into feather headdresses and chandelier earrings, it lives in the color coordinated racks of Miz Scarletts. This shit will blow your mind. And probably creep you out a little. Bonus: You can push through a maze of dresses taller than you like when you were a kid with your mom at Kmart. awesome.
I just don’t even know where to start. Alls I can say is, it’s worth a visit. Susan, the owner/​manager/​oldest white lady available spent no less than an hour calling around to find affordable flower girl dresses for us. The patience, the care, the sense of humor given to our motley crue was worth the four stars alone. Bless their sweet bedazzled hearts.
If nothing else, their hats are royal wedding ready. Phenonemal.
Mr. De Mille, I’m ready for my floor show.

Bridesmaids, beware!
My cousin chose her bridesmaids dresses here. After a litany of excuses from Miz Scarletts and unfalteringly horrific customer service, the dresses were delivered (unaltered) Tuesday night for a Saturday wedding. The only good thing I got out of these people? I found a wonderful and understanding tailor in my neighborhood.
1. Anytime I wanted to talk to them I had to call at least 3 or 4 different times of the day before someone would answer. Even then they were rude and impatient. At one point I was told, «I don’t need to talk to you. As I explained to the bride, we are only talking with her concerning the order.» Seeing as I was paying for the dress, though, I thought they could spare a few minutes to talk to me.
2. Their voicemail is always full.
3. The dresses were delayed and they kept giving us different excuses. They never could produce a tracking number for our dresses which had supposedly been ordered on time.
4. The staff didn’t take any responsibility for delivering the dresses on time. One woman (I believe her name was Monte?) told me she was shipping the dresses on Easter Sunday. When I pointed out that there was no mail on Sunday, she said she’d send them regular mail on Monday morning, for a wedding that took place that Saturday. Whether the dresses arrived in time was not was totally not her concern. And also: we were on our own when it came to alterations.
5. Even after they received the dresses they delayed in sending them out because they didn’t know what addresses to ship them to. When we placed the order we gave them our addresses. Even so, if they didn’t have the addresses they could have asked again. Instead they waited with the dresses for us to call and ask why they weren’t shipping them.
6. We had to pay extra for overnight shipping, even though it was their fault the dresses were late.
7. They hung up on me twice when I called to complain.
8. I wasn’t the only one complaining. When we all got together for the wedding, the bridesmaids shared our own horrible stories of dealing with the company and being worried about whether or not they were going to deliver the dresses at all.
All in all? Stay away. They are disorganized and irresponsible. If the entire bridal party hadn’t been on their case for two weeks, I doubt we would have seen our dresses, and I don’t imagine we would have gotten a refund had they failed to ship before the wedding.

Words are going to fail to give full credit to this place. I really wish I had pictures. Lots of them.
My minimal vocabulary won’t do justice to the dresses here but thoughts like Southern beauty pageant, Scarlett O’Hara on crack, too many rhinestones for Elizabeth Taylor, and oh-sweet-Jesus-that-is-the-biggest-dress-I’ve-ever-seen come to mind. The entire shop, while sizable, feels like you’re in your crazy (like, really crazy) Aunt’s closet… on shrooms. So much color, so much glitz, so much tacky. And then there’s the birdcage.
Then you get greeted by one of the pushy saleswoman, who will talk you in to trying on the most heinous dress in existence: mauve and grey with HUGE bows and a multi-​tiered shredded skirt. You can’t walk through regular-​sized doorways in this stuff. I also doubt you could sit down.
Then that pushy saleswoman accompanies you to the «fitting room:» a back storage space filled with fur coats (hello, creepy!) with a tiny little screen for you to slip the way-​too-​big samples on and off. But the saleswoman doesn’t care: she’ll touch you in places reserved for the bedroom, all in the name of pinning a 30lb fully sequined gown to your frame. And then she’ll make you step up on a little stage to view it in all of its splendor. And she’ll never leave you alone so you can snap a picture to send to all of your friends so you can laugh for days. That is the sad part.
Oh, and did I mention these dresses are $ 500+, and THEN you’ve got to pay for alterations?
