DO NOT SHOP AT THIS STORE! Negative stars for this place! My mom, sister, and I drove almost 1 hour to this store this past Saturday hoping to find barong dresses to wear for my niece's wedding.

As a last ditch effort, I popped into this store just to see different styles and perhaps find inspiration to spend the money for tradition. The sales person I dealt with was very very helpful, honest, and knowledgable. I found this process to be so much easier working through them, I decided to see what the total cost would be for them to order the Barongs for me and my groomsmen. The total came out to about half of what I had been quoted from other online stores. Needless to say, I am very happy with my experience and would recommend this place to anyone looking...
