House of Fashion II - Outlet

I was looking for my dress and started at House of Fashion. I thought I had foud my dress but still waited and went to house of fashion 2. I found a dress that I had never seen before and it was a perfect fit for me and I knew my fiancé would love it. I got a great deal on the dress and everyone loved it on the wedding day. Once the pictures came back, the dress was a topic of conversation. They made it easy to get in, pick dresses out and have a hassle free shopping experience.

I have to say I love this little shop. It's not fancy and doesn't try to be, but you can find some fancy gowns. You just have to be patient and really look to find a decent dress, but believe me they are in there. My dress was gorgeous and fit like a glove, so I bought it right away. The ladies who work there are nice and very laid back which I appreciated. The one who was helping me was patient and knowledgeable but not overbearing. If you need alterations done to the dress, they also do alterations and do them well. My dress was marked down $200 the day I bought it (I think there is always some kind of sale), and FYI if you bring cash, they will knock another $100 off the price.

I know it seems like my stars don't make sense but here's the deal. I booked an appointment and went in with my best friend. The lady greeted us after about 10 minutes of us waiting in the front, while she helped a couple of other girls get prom dresses. She quickly showed us to the room after greeting us and then left us alone with the racks. We were then by ourselves again for around 30 minutes. This wasn't too bad except that any questions I had she was pretty much nowhere to be found... So the good news is that I found a dress that l loved that I paid only 100$ for because she let me pay it in cash out the door. In the realm of bridal gowns this is stupendously awesome. When the other girls were gone we got her undivided attention and she was very helpful. I just felt that if I was going to book an appointment then I should receive better service than a "here's the racks" showing. All in all it was a good experience but I knocked a couple stars off for what I felt were unprofessional actions. The service was great- when I received it. The dress was great- but I found it, pulled it, tried it on and basically sold it to myself. (I realize this was an outlet store but then I would venture to say that you shouldn't bother insisting on appointments if you can't keep them) The price was awesome and all in all I got what I needed. Product is superb but the service is lacking.

The lady here was very nice. She was knowledgeable and did suggest was to change dresses to best fit me. We were thrilled that she was willing to lower the price to accomodate out budget (she even took into account how much alterations would cost us) It was fabulous. I wore a 1500 dollar dress and I only paid 300 plus alterations.

I purchased a great dress here for $400, from the original price of over a $1000. Also, the alterations lady on site is great and very reasonable.
