i've read some pretty unfavorable reviews here, and i'm writing because my experience was so much better than the experiences i had at other 4 shops in the twin cities that i visited. I made and appointment by phone and when i arrived at rush's, i was greeted warmly by a knowledgeable and friendly salesperson. I was shown a number of gowns in my price range and within the style I wanted. The place was neat and clean and had good lighting. yes, parking can be an issue downtown, but my visit was worth the cost of parking. They even had complimentary feminine hygiene products in their bathrooms! my salesperson never seemed inpatient and when she didn't know an answer to something, she found another employee who did. What i learned is that the price of gowns at Rush's starts at around $800 for wedding gowns and $125 for bridesmaid dresses -- this is somewhat high, but if a bride wants to pay less there is also a cash and carry section with discounted gowns. Because it?s by appointment, I had one on one personal service the entire time. I found their selection to be the best of any of the 4 stores I visited. anyway, i was finally brought a gorgeous gown that was love at first sight for me. i purchased the gown and can't wait until it arrives... my wedding is this May and I had a wonderful experience at Rush's.
Pros: store was clean and neat, salespeople were very knowledgeable
Cons: parking can be expensive as it is located downtown
