Dress Barn-Dress Barn Woman

I have been shopping here for about 4 years. I have bought stuff online also, that can be hit or miss with the quality. However everytime I go into the store the customer service I receive is outstanding. Someone always takes things and starts a dressing room for me, gives me their honest opinion, will go get me a different size or color,
find things I’m looking for. Honestly I get better service here than Nordstrom. My daughter recently started shopping here and loves it too. We will both be coming back!!!

I finally had the chance to drop by this store and I was really «wowed» from the moment I walked in. The place was spacious, organized and clean. I think this is the best Dress Barn store I’ve seen so far. There were three ladies working at the time, two of which were working the cash registers. One of the ladies was working the dressing rooms and she was so nice. When I was in line about to pay, one cashier made eye contact and gave me a smile. Unfortunately for me, I ended up with the one that looked like she was not happy to be there. She was the youngest of the three. You could not get her to smile. Her personality was so cold it made me uncomfortable. I couldn’t wait for her to finish. I just kept thinking how rude she was. I don’t even remember hearing her speak… No thank you nor have a nice day… I could have given this store a 4 star or even a 5, but that lady’s customer service turned me off. Now I’m not sure if I want to go back.

They are so horrible. Customer service is terrible! I called to ask the price for a dress I put on hold. The women there said she’d put me on hold. Does she not know how to push a hold button?! She put the phone down I heard them laughing and talking. Not even answering my question I had. It was so dirty when I went into the store as well! There needs to be A LOT of improvements for this store! Nice employees and a clean atmosphere. I will not be returning!

I used to think Dressbarn was for old ladys. Boy, was I wrong I just got a adorable peasant blouse from here.
I was pleasantly surprised with the selction of clothes. I am a plus size woman and the clothes fit nicely and are good quality

Dress Barn has really gotten a bum rap over the years as a «Mature» woman’s clothing store. aka, everyone’s grandma shops here. But people, this just isn’t the case! I’ve been coming here for YEARS and I’m a very «young» 40. lol I mean the quality is so much better that Macy’s and they carry styles for all ages, shapes and sizes.
I get so many complements on items I’ve purchased here. Yes, there are some styles geared for the «older» woman but there are also very trendy, stylish, professional and casual wear for the younger crowd as well. Prices are reasonable but I have noticed an increase over the last year or so but not horrible.
This location just had their Grand Re-​Opening a few weeks ago after they were closed for remodeling. The biggest change is the dressing rooms. They are very nice with large seating area in each. Unfortunatly this comfy seating takes up alot of space in the dressing stalls. They seem smaller? But I think they’re still nice and sylish with the white leather finishes.
Customer service is always very helpful. While I was trying on my items I could hear a sales associate helping a very nice lady who was having a hard time deciding how the cloths she was trying on looked on her. The Sales associate was very nice and honest about a few of the items. That was great customer service! I could hear the customer really apreciate the honesty and open to such helpful suggestions.
This is a very nice store and I will continue to shop here before I go to the craziness of the mall.

I have shopped this location for many years. It used to have helpful, energetic salespeople. They used to have music playing. The last several times I’ve been here, no one has spoken to me, let alone help me with anything. Also, the staff is very huffy when I decline taking a bag. They always make a remark about Campbell still giving out bags. I think they are missing the point of using reusable bags.

Helpful staff — not too pushy. I can’t always find what I want but have had great luck sometimes. I will definitely be back… they have good sales and text coupons to your cell phone.

Cute shoes and dress for bachelorette party accomplished.
Most of the stuff here is either too big or too small… but at least they have a petite section!
The jewelry is super cute. too bad i am allergic to silver :(
Friendly service (thank you Kandy!)

HORRIBLE customer service– RUDE RUDE RUDE– the assistant manger Irene has a bad attitude and is VERY unprofessional. Store was empty of customers yet she managed to be rude enough for me to leave behind nearly $ 300 worth of clothing and leave!!! no wonder store is empty! maybe a change in management would help!

I actually went to the Alameda store-​The clothes are stylish but checkout is slow and hope you don’t get a gift you have to return-​I had the receipt but not the tag and I cant believe the hassle –almost would’t let me exchange-​let alone get a refund. Make sure you try everything at the store to avoid a 30 minute min detour for your «refund»

Slowest check out. In the history of mankind. Very helpful floor staff. They will go and get the size you need and offer optional styles. They have a tendency towards the older crowd, but do sell Calvin Klein. So think CLASSIC. Sometimes they have great workwear clothing. Stylish and sexy and great pricepoint. You will find it. That said, make sure you calculate extra time for checking out. I suggest making friends with the other ladies in line and lamenting the checkout. Give yourself some laughs… Life is too short!

Dress Barn has a great selection of clothes for working women and for parties/​weddings. The staff is very helpful, the store clean, the dressing rooms well lit. And the prices are very reasonable. They have a good range of sizes. It is a store for adult women who want to look good, perhaps a little sexy, but age appropriate.

I still work at the Dressbarn in Jacksonville. Florida. I just recieved another $ 50.00 giftcard for my hard work. I am still waiting for my 1^st year anniversary raise, to no avail. I have had very high sales, good customer service to my customers, and I really care about them. Thanks for the gift card Dressbarn. RG

It is large and clean but the clothes are cheap, garish and generally purple. I had just visited Aaron’s looking for Kolo albums and stopped in hoping for a sundress or sportswear for my Hawaiian trip.
Unfortunately winter had come to Dress Barn and the small dregs of summer in the back of the store wouldn’t have even pleased my Australian mum who now lives in the Midwest. She loves gorgeous Chinese florals but not these huge prints and I, I must confess wear a huge amount of black with my frou frou tops.
I will continue my search at Nordie’s, Talbot, LLBean, Land’s End, E. Bauer and maybe Chico as Dress Barn is a leap back in time… in a 70’s Walmart.

Oh gees… My mother dragged me in this store tonight. They were a little low on staff it seemed (only 2 employees were on the floor). They were friendly… but the clothes, YUCK!!! I hate to dis people’s style, but this place is CRAP! There were like 2 cute sweaters, only one I would actually wear. The price for the clothes were ridiculous because it was obvious that quality wasn’t that great. Believe me, you can find MUCH better quality and styles elsewhere for the same prices your paying there. PLEASE DO NOT SHOP HERE!!!

I took my mother-​in-​law shopping here to get her some party clothes for a cruise she’s taking. Five stars for the customer service (which can be borderline pushy: no thank you, what we have is what we want… no, really, we aren’t interested in buying anything else… no, we don’t need any accessories… really…please…just…no thank you, what we’ve got here is fine, honest!). The clothes are hit or miss, though, and some of what we saw was just plain chintzy: dresses with spots of glued-​on glitter that comes off everywhere in a sparkly shower? No thanks. But we did find some nice, very reasonably-​priced pieces and my mother-​in-​law was happy, which means life for me will be easier.

I definitely agree with everyone else on the name of this place. It’s dumb and it sucks! It sounds kinda’ redneck too. Well, not that that’s a bad thing. But, I love to shop here. It’s a hit or miss place though. They change the stock often so if I don’t see something I like one week, I go back the next. They have terrific deals on knit tops. Their sales are usually «buy one, get the second one for half price.» That will apply to a huge variety of styles and so it’s not hard to get some decent stuff at good prices. The knits I buy here last for several years and wear well.
They have a great selection of party dresses at reasonable prices and a nice department for petites as well.
I am only giving them 4 stars however because I basically can’t buy pants or slacks there. Their sizing goes from 4 – 16 (and Dress Barn Woman has larger sizes as well) but they don’t carry size 2. I know. I should not gripe about having that kind of a problem but, it’s a problem nevertheless. I have asked them about it a few times and they don’t seem to really want to do anything about it. So, I shop there anyway, try on some 4’s every now and then, buy my knit tops and go! I’m happy.

I also, was deterred for years by the name. I mean really. Sounds at best like clothes for my midwestern grandmother.
Then I was heard complaining one too many times about my inability to buy new clothes due to lack of $$$, and my boss recommended I check it out.
I very skeptically ventured in and was pleasantly surprised. The clothes really aren’t great quality, but for cute and appropriate clothing for work that is surprisingly inexpensive, this is now my go-​to place.

I concur with Erin O.
First of all, the name alone: «DRESS BARN» should be a deterrent. And for a long while, it was (for me anyway). I DO NOT want to look anything like something that may reside in a BARN! Puhlease!
But, I was at the Cost Cutters (directly across) and thought…“eh, I got some time to kill, why not” and breezed in.
HUGE Store! The ones in the south are not nearly this large and the selection? Well, to be honest I was actually impressed.
I got two skirts that would have cost me $ 85 plus tax for $ 9.99 each! Hooray!
Everyone was SUPER friendly (good Lord and could it be — SMILEY?)
I will for sure be heading back and taking a pal of mine (she is a bargain junkie as well).
Quality of clothes? Okay, no designer labels here, but you ain’t spending a lot either darlin’!
Shoes? Eh… better pass.
But not bad for selection and sizes.
*bursts into song* «I’m every woman… it’s all in me…»

OK, I know you are thinking: «Dress Barn gets 5 stars?! Who is this Erin O. and how could she lack any taste whatsoever!» But before you settle into that opinion, give me a chance to defend myself.
First of all, Dress Barn is what it is. It is a low-​end clothing store with inexpensive clothes for women from size 4 to size 24. No one would ever claim that they carry high fashion items. And no one would ever swear that the sweaters they bought here lasted more than one or two winters.
That said, here’s why it gets 5 stars:
–For ANY clothing store (Nordstrom on down), I never get better customer service than I get at this Dress Barn. They immediately start a dressing room for me, they come back to check on me throughout my shopping trip, and they will go back and find anything for me.
–For weekend wear (I am all about comfort!), you can’t beat stocking up on basic sweaters here and you don’t feel bad giving them to Good Will the next year because you didn’t spend much on them anyway
–For something like the cruise I took last summer when I needed 3 formal outfits and assorted other clothes I wouldn’t normally wear, you can buy those «wear it once» outfit and not break the bank.
So for the category of clothing store that Dress Barn belongs to, for their good prices, range of sizes, and excellent customer service, I give them 5 stars. The end.
