MEAN GIRLS vibe anyone? I just stopped in yesterday looking for a formal gown for an upcoming gala. When you first walk in, the shop is very aesthetically pleasing. I walked up to counter for assistance and after saying what i was looking for and mentioning my size (14) I was given a point and told " 14 and up gowns are on the racks over there" and pretty much was on my own after that. For something of this nature I would think that someone would be by your side helping, offering opinions, looking for dresses for my figure, etc. There was little selection for sizes 14/16 and there were lots of non plus/curvy sizes in the section where they should not have been. Many of the dresses I looked at/tried on were dirty, holes/tears, missing rhinestones/beads, etc and looking at the prices they were charging for retail and rental for the quality/poor condition some of these pieces were in was laughable. I went to ask another associate for help and she couldn't be bothered. I'm not sure if it was the general vibe of the place to be stuffy and pretentious or if it maybe were due to me not being a size 4. As for someone who has over 15 years of experience on both sides of the retail register, I was super unimpressed and will be taking my money elsewhere. *updated I went to a small business 10 min up the road and walked in and within 2 minutes my partner was offered a chair in front of the fitting room, and I was handed 4 dresses after asked for color preferences and the lady taking one look at me and knew my sizes instantly. THIS is the service one should expect and I was more than happy to give them my business and...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of visiting The Showroom Nashville to rent a dress for a charity event, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and genuine enthusiasm by the staff, who made me feel like a VIP.
The selection of dresses was absolutely stunning, with a range of styles that could suit any occasion. I was looking for something elegant and unique, and I found the perfect dress that made me feel confident and beautiful for the event.
What really stood out to me was the personalized service. The team at The Showroom Nashville took the time to understand my style preferences and the vibe of the event, and they offered insightful suggestions that made all the difference. The fitting process was seamless, and they ensured that the dress fit like a glove.
I received countless compliments throughout the evening, and I owe it all to the expertise and eye for fashion that the team at The Showroom Nashville demonstrated.

Read moreI don't know if i'm just lucky or if Kristin, the owner, is actually some sort of sorceress because I have been to the Showroom twice - first time, in 2023, I spent about 30 minutes on my own trying dresses on, super overwhelmed and no luck, but Kristen assists me and literally the first dress she pulled was absolute magic and what I went with! Well, YESTERDAY I went in, thank god Kristin was there again - I showed her some images of a character i'm dressing inspired by for the Nashville Fantasy Ball, along with my shoes and once again - IMMEDIATELY the first dress we pulled was it, we just decided that dress in a different color after taking into account the shoes. IDK how she does it, like I said, magic or something, but I have never had such a great experience at a high end place. Truly. Felt so welcomed and taken care of and excited to try on fancy gowns vs the usual of feeling stressed and overwhelmed.
Photo of the 2023 dress, will add another photo after the event in Feb!
TL;DR The owner is a magical being who if you just talk to for like two minutes will somehow just know exactly what you need for your event, saving you endless hours of searching and feeling like you are a goddess in such dress. THANK YOU SO...
