I'm a middle-aged male who stumbled through the door at Hannelores in sandles, shorts, and a t-shirt in search of a vest and bow tie for my tux. The owner, Pamela, was a delight and helped me pick out a the perfect vest. She even had her alterations person take it in for me. I've read several of the negative reviews and I'm a bit surprised. I knew going in the front door that this was a very high end store with very expensive gowns. I can only assume that if you come through the front door you are aware of the price point of Hannelores' gowns. This is not the place for everyone and I can understand if Hannelores does not wish to spend time allowing people to try own gowns they can not afford - it wastes time and puts the gowns through unnecessary wear and tear. For persepective, do you think you could walk into an Aston Martin dealer and just ask for the keys for a test drive?
