What an amazing experience at Fitzroy! I have a black tie wedding to go to in May and was hesitant…read moreto purchase a dress that I would only wear for one event so when I learnt about rental opportunities.. I jumped on it! There were so many dress options for me as someone who is ~5'7 - I had such a fun time looking through all the colours available. As soon as you walk in, you're able to explore the options and the service was amazing. I had flagged down Nicole and she was so incredibly helpful throughout the process, finding dresses that fit the style I was looking for and helping hunt down my size. I was so lucky to find one I loved and confirm it was available for the date I need! With the shipping and total price of the dress - it was such a deal, especially when I know I wouldn't wear it again after one event. Excited to get my dress in May and I'll be updating my review as soon as it arrives!

Upon entering the place it looks beautiful with the aesthetic and the entrance. My sister rents dresses from here for her special occasions and the process is quite simple. You choose the date in which you want to hold the dress for and pick it up. They're completely transparent about any damages or stains on the dresses if someone who booked the dress previously have stained it or damaged it which is nice and good to know. Will definitely be renting dresses from here :)

At the beginning we went in and was waiting for someone to take care of us cause no one was at the front desk. As we waiting one of the photographers came out of a room then back in to another. Then another came and the same thing happened. I get the fact that there were other customers there and they might of been confused with us but its still be nice to ask if we were with the other party... finally the first photographer decided to ask and we told them we have an appointment they apologize for neglecting us. Apology accepted. As we went though the packages for videographers and photographers, J was very friendly and nice. I can tell through both senior photographers were much more experienced then the juniors. J did not push to sell any of their packages and he was very kind to let us know how prices shown were for the seniors and if it was for the juniors it was be a different price. So far so good!

Not a good experience. I wanted to cry, but I was so frustrated that I held it in…read more They also bribe people to give 5 star reviews so do not trust their star rating. I am a plus size bride, wearing 18/20 street size. I stated this on the forum when booking my appointment and when the employee asked upon entrance. Although sizing had been discussed, a lot of the dresses I was handed in the change room were sizes 10-14 and I was not able to try them on. Either they wouldn't fit over my hips, or my arms wouldn't fit in armhole with the strap, or my arm just wouldn't fit into the sleeve. Trying to squeeze into a dress that's half your size in a dark changing room without assistance is not a good start. At one point I told the employee that one of the dresses I wasn't able to pull up, and she seemed surprise "oh really? Is the zipper undone all the way", I said I would double check, but yes it was undone all the way. I just don't think the size 10 dress was ready for my size 20 hips. Another dress was sleeveless but had a high illusion neckline and I was excited to try on, however my upper arms were not fitting into the arm holes as it was a size 14 and my upper arms are larger. I told the employee this from the dark room behind the curtain and her response was simply "how about we move to the next one then". Which was sad because I thought this one would look so good if only in a better size. At this point I was starting to feel that same dreaded feeling I use to get when trying to buy name brand clothes in middle school. Hadn't felt that shame in a decade. I stuck my head out and asked if they had any plus size dresses, as these tags seemed to be 10-12 or 14 and I am usually about a 20. She pointed to the rack we got the 14 from and said that was the plus size rack. When I was able to get my body into a dress it was still a size 16, the neckline area never fit and it was nearly impossible to "use my imagination on". Since the detailing didn't line up and it was making indents. There was one dress I did like. However it was a zipper back and I was told the "zipper is slippery" so it couldn't be done up. I don't know much about how bridal shops use dress clips but she didn't use any and barely did anything. She held the open back together for about 30 seconds as I looked in the mirror then walked away. The dress had sparkly spaghetti straps that were very long so they dropped and curved a bit. My mom was trying to get a photo so I could look at it later but as the employee wasn't doing much to make the dresses look as they would if they fit I was trying to pull the straps at the back so it would appear tighter and then holding my arms down so the bodice wouldn't fly open. Ugh I honestly felt like crying when I was in the dark changing room, I felt lost. I was barely getting any assistance. She wasn't helping the dresses look as they would once fitted, I felt helpless. Not being able to fit into dresses and not having any dresses my size even when My size had obviously been discussed made my confidence drop and made me feel ugly and gross. Which is definitely not what a wedding gown shop should do.

Isn't there a store like this in every mall? Slap a vaguely European name on the sign, and a big…read moresale sign out front and watch the punters flood in. Strada offers mid-priced menswear to the well-heeled denizens of Bayview Village. It's tough to draw a bead on the place. Well-constructed Jack Lipson shirts sit alongside cheap turtlenecks. Decent Jack Victor suits alternate with knockoffs that bear Italianized names likely drawn out of a Luigi......Placido! hat. Sweaters vary from trendy toggled cardigans to Cosby-worthy head trips. A table of ties is just kinda there. Even the pretty ones seem somehow unloved. Staff do the best with what they've got to work with. A manager rushes to your side in case you want to try their made to measure program, but without an actual tailor (by which I mean a little old man with a measuring tape around his neck and a semi-permanent stoop to his gait), how confident would you be? The return policy is non-existent. If you have a middle-aged, middle-manager friend who seems to hit the Grecian Formula a bit to heavily, this is likely where he purchased his mock turtleneck, melton blazer and pleated slacks. If you're looking for the same outfit, hurry in. They'll be 70% off this weekend (snark).

HORRENDOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE, RUDEST I'VE EVER EXPERIENCE AT BAY VIEW VILLAGE…read more Strada is a small menswear store inside Bay view Village, selling dress and casual shirts as well as suits and blazers. The prices aren't too high but some of the items are up there, but what turned me off the most during my last visit with my brother was the disgustingly poor attitude of one of the store managers. The store was rather empty during our visit, just my brother and I and some other couple. My brother had already purchased a blazer that was on sale and after paying for that first item, he wanted to buy a casual shirt to go with it. He picked up a shirt from the sales table and tried it, and noticed it was really wrinkled and asked for it to be steamed ironed since he was planning to wear it that night. Now this is where things went so unacceptably wrong. The man helping us (some middle aged European man) gave us the dirtiest, and most annoyed looked, scoffed and said, "its juts a 30 dollar shirt, I'm to busy to do it for you" while walking away from us and leaving us standing near the change rooms. My brother and I looked at each other and went "WT?" First of all, it was not AT ALL busy - we practically heard crickets chirp. We went to complain to the other manager about this and he apologized many times for this colleague, who continued to shoot us dirty look, but we were absolutely disgusted by this highly unprofessional behaviour from this one manager and the way he treated customers, making us feel as if we weren't worthy of his time for buying a cheaper item. My brother was livid, and wanted to return the blazer he had already bought but since the 2nd manager tried to redeem the situation, we paid for the $30 shirt anyways but we will NEVER EVER return to this store. I've walked by many times because I live nearby and Its mostly empty with no more than 1-2 customers in there even on busy weekends. They have loads of stuff on sales at all times of the year but no price would make us want to shop there again. And we asked for the owner of the store, and the more polite manager said, the owner lived out of the country so he's never observed his employees. If he would, he would kick this snot of a sales guy out his door. So unless you want to be made to feel like a second class citizen, don't shop here!
