A Different Perspective ... by Anonymous T. at InsiderPages

My experience at Suzanne's has been different. Maybe maturity has something to do with what one expects from a bridal shopping experience. I'm 48. Suzanne's was my second stop. Although I have purchased a number of formal gowns at Corwin's, I was not impressed with their selection of gowns nor with the idea of having to look through a very limited catalog to see what they had in the store. At Suzanne's, I described my perfect gown to the attendant and she brought several for me to choose from. I didn't have to paw through all of the dresses to find what I was looking for. Although at first glance, I felt the final dress that she brought was totally inappropriate, I trusted her knowledge of her stock and what would work on my body style. The dress was perfect!! And, it was not the most, nor the least expensive, but well within my budget expectations.
I would agree that the space is a bit cramped. I would also expect sales people - especially those on commission, if indeed they are - to attempt to boost their sales. Duh. That's their job!! Perhaps the Princess Brides need to take a look at their own expectations and attitudes.
