Berta Sawyer Inc

It has been over a year since I first visited Berta Sawyer in my search for «the dress» for my son’s wedding. Although I visited the store on numerous occasions over the past year — not only for fittings for «the dress» found with the expert guidance and assistance of Jan and her wonderful — and always warm and welcoming– staff, but for additions to my wardrobe, and could have written the review on each and every visit, I chose to wait until after the wedding. I could have written this review on each and every visit because on each one, the experience was absolutely and unequivocally fabulous. I am most certainly an insecure shopper — not always sure of what looks good or right. Jan and her staff are wonderful — they truly paid attention to my likes, dislikes, and always were able to point me in the direction of the «perfect» selection. The clothes are beautiful, top quality, unique, and special. And the alterations — they perform magic. I will continue to visit Berta Sawyer, which has and will remain by «go to» place to spruce up by wardrobe for everything from business, to casual, and always for that special occasion or formal wear. I highly recommend Berta Sawyer.

This shop was on my short list of places to check out for a dress to wear to my daughter’s wedding. No appt needed, so I stopped by today to see if they have anything in my style.
I arrived and was not greeted by the older woman heading my way. When she got close to me, she looked me over, still didn’t speak and I said I’d like to see some special occasion dresses. She said they bring them out and «the girl» is on her way to help me. I saw no «girl» on her way, and this elderly woman proceeded past me to busy herself with dresses left in the dressing room.
I waited a few minutes and another older woman walks past me to Sales Lady #1 and says, «Ron, are you helping her?» and «Ron», aka Sales Lady #1, says NO.
I’m not going to shop at a place that isn’t welcoming to customers. Something about me made her decide I wasn’t worth her time, so I swiftly walked to the door, grasped the handle and exited.
I suppose since I wasn’t wearing designer clothes, with my hair coiffed and make up freshly painted on, they assumed I was not a serious shopper
I would not recommend this shop to another under the age of 70. That way the staff will be more comfortable waiting on you apparently. I sure hope they aren’t part of the «family» that runs this place, they obviously are doing nothing to attract new clientele.

I have bought clothes for every occasion at Berta Sawyer… my daughters’ weddings, other people’s weddings, community events, vacations, work, play, etc. The clothes are gorgeous, high-​quality, and available in a wide variety of sizes and fair prices. I have absolutely no fashion sense, and I am always amazed at how «put together» they make me look! (Rocky is my go-​to person… the best! Jan, the owner, always manages to make me look good, as well!) I HIGHLY recommend a trip to Berta Sawyer for that «special occasion» outfit or just to spruce up your wardrobe. You’ll love it there!
