I was there earlier today at the mall, and my experience was pretty good. I ended up finding a dress I love, and went to buy it. As I was showing my friend the saleswomen came up to me and told me that we should only try on one more dress to make room for the girls trying on prom dresses, even though I was serious about buying. I took my dress to the front counter and gave it to her to check out. She told me that since I was here without an adult that I had to call my mom, and assumed that I was using my mom’s credit card. I told her I was using my card and she seemed surprised. She then told me that because I wasn’t with an adult I had to call my mom to confirm that she knew I was buying a nearly $300 dress. I understood and called her, but the situation got complicated when she began checking out the people behind me before taking my phone to confirm with my mom I was buying this dress.

This was my senior prom and I really had my heart set on a yellow dress but unfortunately she only had maybe 5 yellow ones and none in my size (I’m a size large) she then told me their sizing runs small and that i would need and XL which she didn’t have many color options in my size, she has a bunch of colors in size XS-M which didn’t make my situation better. I tried on about 4 dresses and they were beautiful but none I really...

The good: The proprietor is lovely - she's both helpful and knowledgeable about gowns, and clearly enthusiastic. If you are standard size or small, this place is perfect for unique looks and the prices are reasonable.

The not-so-good: this place is not size-inclusive. There's no law stating that it has to be, but it's definitely a choice, esp. considering the lack of shops in this area for formal wear in general (seriously, what's up with that). But if you're above a size 8, or simply busty, you'll struggle to find...
