I joined just to write this review because I had a fabulous experience with AniA. I was on a tight budget, and looking at the upmarket store I thought it was out of my price range, so I tried all the other places first. I went in on a weekday morning, and was asked if I had an appointment, which I didn't, but the girl checked the book and fit me in anyway. I was actually looking for an ivory bridesmaid dress for my wedding gown. I found the perfect one at AniA, and at a very reasonable price. The staff made it feel like a special experience, not the McDonalds experience of other shops. Later, I had a difficulty with the veil I had purchased from a different retailer. I asked one of the girls as Ania for help, and she actually showed me the correct way to pin it -- believe me, this absolutely made the wedding outfit. I also used the taylor they recommended, who was fabulous, and did a perfect job, really reasonably priced. I don't know what happened with the negative reviews I see on here, but I was in there several times for fittings/pickup etc and every time the staff were great. Brides, when you've tired of the other c*** on the market, go here and get the real thing!
Pros: Luxurious shop. Nice, knowledgable sales people
Cons: Parking in Portland, what can you say
