You need to really read the description properly before ordering. I usually order when there is a sale or promotion. I've shopped here at the 218 brick and mortar location twice.

I paid full price in the store WTH. I sent an email with receipt number and time. They will refund the 20% difference. It helps to be a loyal customer. They used to have a partnership with Sota Clothing. They offer free shipping. I've been very satisfied with my online purchases and shipping is very fast to the metro area. One tiny complaint is there is no bathroom. I was directed to the store next door.

I was told multiple times that I would be unable to try on certain dresses even though they were in my size and that I would be better off to shop in the plus size section. I was even brought dresses in size 20 to try on that I was swimming in and told "there that's better." When I did find a dress the seamstress was reluctant to take it in even though it was two sizes to big. Even after a year I still think about how poorly I was treated.
