My consultant truly listened to everything I liked and didn't like, and she DELIVERED. She had me trying on more dresses than I could have imagined, and each one felt more aligned with my vision than the last. I never felt rushed... we actually found the one with about 30 minutes still left in my appointment. I also really appreciated how mindful they were of my budget. Not only did they stay within it, but they were intentional about keeping me under budget to allow room for alterations which was incredibly thoughtful. One thing I really appreciated was how respectful and kind my consultant was during try ons. She would turn around while I was changing until I felt comfortable or needed assistance. The owner also came in to take my measurements, which made me feel even more comfortable and taken care of. You can really tell how much they value their brides. They even offered complimentary water, which was such a thoughtful touch for my group. Overall, the entire experience felt calm, supportive, and genuinely special. This is such a peaceful environment to find your dress. I felt heard and beautiful throughout. I would HIGHLY recommend this salon to any bride looking for a truly exceptional experience!

They do not have a three way mirror in the gown section? Why not? I think that most people want to see their gown from all angles. No sales, no returns, no fair. There were many gowns that I did not see. When I asked about them, I was told that they were for prom. I wasn't shopping for prom, but there may have been a dress that I liked. I did make a purchase, my choice. But I have to let you know , I regret it and cannot return it. As always"Buyer beware".

I would strongly caution anyone considering Stitch on Main for wedding attire or alterations…read more Our experience involved significant and repeated errors across both suits and dresses, along with extremely unprofessional behavior leading up to the wedding. Suit Issues: * All 9 rental suits arrived in the wrong sizes due to incorrect measurements taken by the shop. Several groomsmen recognized the measurements were off at the time, which is why I proactively provided correct sizes in advance, yet the suits still came in wrong. * Both fathers' purchased suits were also incorrect (pants several sizes too large, vest too small). * The groom's suit had to be purchased elsewhere days before the wedding after multiple failed reorders. * Most notably, one groomsman was given the wrong suit color entirely (the groom's color), which was only discovered on the wedding day. This is clearly visible in photos and should have been caught prior to pickup. * Groomsmen had to make multiple trips to the shop due to ongoing errors and limited business hours. Dress & Alteration Issues: * My bustle failed within an hour, forcing me to hold my dress for the remainder of the night. As shown in photos, I had to physically hold the gown to keep it off the ground, which made dancing and moving around uncomfortable and even left marks on my arm the next day. * The cups in my gown were not fully sewn, and a strap was sewn on twisted. * A visible tag showed through my dress, which I had to cut out myself on the wedding day after it was dismissed by the owner during my final fitting. * My maid of honor's dress was altered so poorly it was unwearable. * Additional bridesmaid issues included incorrect hemming, poor fit adjustments, and repeated zipper failures. Customer Experience: * When I came for final pickup, I was met with aggressive and confrontational behavior, including raised voices and items being slammed, bringing me to tears just days before my wedding. * Despite clear errors, I was told I would be charged for reorders caused by their mistakes. * After the wedding, the shop refused accountability, declined refunds, and instead contacted a groomsman directly rather than addressing the impact on us as the couple. As a group, we spent over $3,000, and the experience was stressful, disorganized, and far below what should be expected for a wedding vendor. Mistakes can happen, but the lack of ownership, professionalism, and resolution is what makes this experience especially disappointing. I hope this feedback is helpful for both the business and future couples planning their wedding.

Linden mostly specializes in formal wear and accessories. You can rent or purchase from them. However, if you choose to purchase make your selection wisely as they don't accept returns. I can't comment on how the rental process works, as I haven't used this service. They sell many earrings, some are more unique then others, I've purchased a pair about a year ago, they still look just as good. The store is very tiny, but is styled really tastefully, having any more then three customers at once is already a crowd. They do have a fitting room, which is so important since all sales are final. If you're looking to support a small business while looking for a formal dress Linden might satisfy your needs.

My daughter has struggled with sensory issues her entire life that make certain situations challenging. After finding the perfect dress she was so excited to try it on and show her friends. We struggled in the dressing room because I couldn't figure out how to help her get it on and she ended up stuck at one point. Long story short when we finally got the dress on I couldn't figure out how to lace the back and reached out to the associate for guidance. She flat out refused to help stating "No I don't want to go in there". My daughter was brought to tears and of course the 3 girls refused to buy the dresses they all wanted out of principal. It pains me that in 2026 this is how people treat others with disabilities.

(Paul McCartney) Nordstrom Rack sells discounted high-end products in a multitude of categories such as men's, women's and children's clothes, shoes, handbags, jewelry, accessories, home and kitchenware, and health and beauty aids. They claim you can save up to 70 percent off regular prices. The store was well stocked and very neat when we shopped today. I didn't find anything I wanted, but my wife did. We'll be attending a Charity Banquet and Ball in a few weeks, and she was looking for a dress to wear. She found a beauty - a nice red Calvin Klein dress stickered at $134 but tagged at just $49.97. That's 62% off. Customer service was great. When we went to the register to pay, we saw a minor stitching defect at the back of the dress. Our cashier arranged for a runner to head back to the rack with us and we found the exact same dress in perfect condition. No complaints at all.
