The selection is endless, the service is above and beyond and each associate is knowledgeable and goes far beyond what we've encountered at some other boutiques. I've driven all over Alabama, from north Florida to just outside of Atlanta in search of just the right piece to suit her, so value when we can find it is always a plus. Jenn was our salesperson on this occasion and bent over backward to find exactly what we were looking for! We even left with a new interview outfit for a future pageant and, of course, jewelry to match it all...not to mention it is SO nice to have them local so I don't have to drive for fittings that cover the southeast anymore! Thank you again to Jenn for all your help and as always, thank you Missy for being there for our central Alabama beauties!

Taylor was absolutely amazing and made me feel so comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. They had an amazing and size inclusive selection of dresses and the atmosphere was so welcoming and empowering. I genuinely wish I could give this place 10 stars.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about imperial formal wear. I had a really hard time finding a…read moredress and was so so so happy when I finally came here. They staff was so friendly, welcoming and relaxed. They made me feel comfortable immediately. I loved that my consultant looked for dresses for me but also let me look for dresses. They let you get dressed on your own unless you want someone in there with you (which is actually so nice). The store is small but has an amazing selection of dresses. I found a number of dresses I really liked and was so happy to finally find the one! I couldn't commit immediately and they were very understanding. They took pictures for me (which apparently some stores do not allow) and talked me through the whole process. When it cane to ordering, I was so scared because it was 5 months before my wedding and most bridal salons told me that I was a fool for waiting so long! Here, they confirmed that I had plenty of time. Some of their dresses were available for preorder and could arrive as early as two months later while even if my size wasn't in preorder, it would arrived more than a month before my wedding. I ended up ordering it and they called less than a month later to say it had arrived. Nothing but wonderful things to say about this place. Trust me-- this is the best place to get a dress!

Items that I dropped off for consignment never reached the floor, so it's no wonder they didn't…read moresell. They were designer items, in line with the items they accept. When I scheduled an appointment to pick up unsold items, they returned my items that had not reached the deadline for pickup. On another occasion, I dropped off designer items and when I inquired about the money from the item I was told I had missed the deadline and the item was donated . I don't believe that to be true. They had remarked how much they loved the item at drop off. I believe they kept the item . Just suspect that I never saw my items either times on the sales floor. Of course I paid the $10 fee , their gain, my loss, and picked up my items. BTW some still had the original tags on them, I had never worn the items. Purchased from high end stores. Disappointed.

They had some fun games and were giving out prizes like gift cards at the door. The woman running the cornhole game has a future in cruise ships. Gus Mayer is one of those legacy Birmingham stores that you make your lovely Grandmother take you to to shop at. They have all the nice brands and an excellent black tie gown section if you need something unique and spectacular. My favorite thing to look at here is always the shoes, expect to spend at least $200 on a pair of shoes. But, they're shoes you can't find anywhere else in town. **A note for this year (2025): they had a pair of shoes I wanted that were from Italy, and upon messaging the brand directly, I do believe I avoided some hefty tariff fees by buying the shoes IRL here. Food for thought. I don't often shop in person at all anymore (I'm a major e-bay fanatic), but being able to go in and try on different sizes is incredibly nice. I ended up getting a pair of jeans and shoes in a different size than what I would have ordered online. They have dresses anywhere from $100-$2k, with all the brands like Zimmerman, Staud, etc. They have Mother jeans and my all time fav jeans brand, Mousy -- which were 50% off yesterday!! The "doorbusters" they advertised online were not the bread and butter of what you come here for. Come to peruse. Shoes and handbags are what I recommend. I see the other reviews commenting on the friendliness of the staff... I get it. My thoughts: these are the women of Mountain Brook here to secure their employee discount. Don't hate the player...

Laurie Bowden 9 reviews…read more 2 hours ago NEW We rented a dress for Prom last week and our experience was horrible. Never was we told about a security check. I met my sons girlfriend in tears last friday because she did not have a check I paid the check and we get the dress. I was with both her and her mom when they tried on the dress and paid deposit and NEVER told or circled the security check. When she gets home and trues on the dress after she had been fitted for the dress, it is nowhere near correct. The strap on the dress had been altered do much she could not get it on. Her mom had to fix it herself. The dress appeared to not have been cleaned and a few other issues as well. Customer Service is not a strong skill at thus shop and Mrs Marty is the worst by far.
