1889 Salvage Co — Local services in Spokane

Disappointing

I want to write an honest review about my experience here. I am disappointed in the service I had and I feel as though this is my only retribution. I rode my bike by the store and saw the most beautiful dress in the window. It was everything I have ever wanted in a dress. The store was closed, so I came back the next morning. I asked the woman working to take it off the mannequin for me to let me try it on. I tried the dress on and I was so happy. It was expensive, $125, but I was willing to pay that much because I loved it so much. I was okay with the price also because I thought this was the dress I would wear at my wedding reception. The dress felt like it was made for me. It fit me perfectly everywhere except I couldn’t get it to zip up all of the way. I told the salesperson about it and said that I wanted this dress so badly that I was going to go to alterations places to see what my options are. I said if I couldn’t get it done I would call her by the end of the day to let her know. She gave me their business card with the number and said she wouldn’t put it back on the mannequin. I drove across town and to three different places to show them photos of the dress and find out my options. I finally found someone who would love to alter it and wasn’t booked out very far. Excitedly, I came back to the store. It had been maybe two hours since I left. But when I got there, the salesperson told me very flippantly “I sold the dress to someone else.” I am very disappointed because as anyone else who loves vintage attire knows, this isn’t something that I can replace or buy somewhere else. It is gone forever. I wish I could have been made aware of my options, because had I known that she would have sold it to someone when I was out looking for a seamstress, I would have bought it immediately. I feel disappointed that the dress is gone, that she sold it to someone else when she knew I was out looking for a seamstress, that I wasted hours at this store and looking for a seamstress, and that she was dismissive and rude when I returned. I expected a local shop to have integrity, but this one does not. I am very disappointed and my only course of action is to let others know of my experience, and to tell my friends and family not...
