Let me preface this with my personal experience: I shopped here for a suit for my senior prom. They asked for my budget and I said $500-$700. The staff member who was "assisting" me added on every possible accessory alongside the suit and shirts they recommended for a grand total of, and I quote, $697.43. They did not work with my budget, they wanted to know exactly how much money they could get out of me. And, shamefully, they succeed. However, I went back to return all the things I realized were not only expensive, but unnecessary. I had previously purchased four shirts for a deal of 4 for $125 and was told that I could come back exchange any of them at no additional cost given that I had already paid for a total of 4. Upon exchanging two shirts and returning a number of items totaling approximately $200, this staff member instead used the money that was to be returned to me to pay for the two shirts. I still had a total of 4 shirts, having already paid for them, and received, and I quote again, $3.97 for what was $200 in value. The management did not work with me and was under the impression that I was trying to get items for free, while the staff assumed I was just some poor kid. Now, I am NOT against shopping here. They have a great selection of comfortable suits and shirts. However, DO NOT take the advice of any staff member. Go in knowing exactly what you need, what colors you want, and ignore whatever they try to tell you. "That won't match" or "This will look better". You don't need every accessory or those fancy wooden hangers and coat covers. Honestly, reject any assistance at all. If you need advice or guidance, look online in dress forums and color guides. They will tell you things like "I had a friend who loved this" or "A guest came in, regretting that he didn't buy this". I wish I had gone with a respectable adult or at least a more reasonable friend, but I didn't and I got screwed over. The best I can do is share this experience so that, overall, you can find what you want and need without the risk that a staff of pretentious, disrespectful retail employees will try to drain your pockets. And for heaven's sake, DO NOT let your kids shop here alone. read more
