Horrible experience from the start of my appt to the end. My bridal party tried on dresses and the associate didn’t even check to make sure the dresses were in the colors I selected. So we spent 90 minutes trying on dresses, deciding on dresses that we couldn’t purchase. The young ladies there didn’t seem at all…

Horrible experience from the start of my appt to the end. My bridal party tried on dresses and the associate didn’t even check to make sure the dresses were in the colors I selected. So we spent 90 minutes trying on dresses, deciding on dresses that we couldn’t purchase. The young ladies there didn’t seem at all apologetic for wasting our time. Additionally, another lady was in there with a complaint. They talked about her in front of us… so unprofessional and rude to do that. This place didn’t treat us with the respect and customer service we deserved. Stay away from this place… the one star is a stretch… zero stars
