I originally visted this shop with one of my bridesmaids to find a dress for her and the rest of my bridesmaids for my beach wedding (which was 7/13/12). She decided to browse the bridal dresses as well picked out a dress that she insisted I try on. It was the first dress I tried in my search and it ended up being the perfect dress for me. During that first visit we had an odd encounter with the owner, he barged into the fitting room (in the middle of my bridesmaid trying on her dresses) so he could ""bring clarity to our shopping process"" since we had too many dresses in the fitting room according to him. We were actually doing just fine on our own and were left in awe by his un-welcome opinions and ""help"".\r

I should have known then that this was not the place for me to purchase my dress, it was such a unique dress and I was so sure it was the one for me, that I returned a few weeks later with my mother and the rest of my bridesmaids. We once again had a run in with the owner in the dressing room, this time much worse. I was ready to purchase the dress before he came into the picture, but his rude, insensitive manner during the fitting process left me in tears. \r

We walked out of the shop and refused to go through with the dress purchase there, despite one of the sales ladies efforts to smooth things over. She acted as though this sort of thing happened all the time - and was very sweet but I could not stand the thought of having to face that man again each time I came in for a fitting or to pick up the dress.\r

I searched all over town to find another shop to order the dress for me, and I am SOOO glad I did after reading all of the other reviews. Shopping for a wedding dress should be such a happy thing, and he ruined it for me and my wedding party.
