My first time going to this store and I cant wait to go back. My daughter's wedding was in a month…read moreand I could not find a suitable dress. I walked in and gasped, I had 5 dresses to try in 2 minutes. The first one I tried I fell in love with. The most beautiful dress I have EVER seen. I quickly found my second dress for the rehearsal which Rachel picked out. I would have never have tried it myself and I immediately felt beautiful in it. All of the staff worked so hard to make it a wonderful experience. I am 60 and my body is not what it use to be. I was so discouraged with the dresses on the market that made me feel dumpy or showed too much skin. The staff helped me feel wonderful and I have the right to look beautiful whatever your body is. I left with a new attitude of dressing thanks to them. The store is absolutely stunning. It is worth the effort. I also think the prices were not outrageous as the quality and workmanship is wonderful. What are you waiting for? GO NOW!

How awesome is that? They also sell gigantic Technicolor piggy banks that they display outside in the warmer months. Those pigs make me happy.

Let me paint the picture…read more.. My wife and I were attending a wedding at the Port Authority. We arrived at the Marriott in the Renaissance Center with plenty of time to relax. Since she always takes four hours longer than me to get ready, I took the opportunity to watch TV and have a little rest, deciding that I'd get up at 4:30 pm with plenty of time to get myself ready for the 6 pm wedding as the venue was only about 10 minutes away. At 4:45 pm, I proceeded to put on my dress shirt and, to my shock and disappointment, realized I had packed a tuxedo shirt instead of a normal button down. The shirt I had with me required cufflinks and buttons that were sitting in my closet at home. There was no way I could drive there and back so I decided to look for a place close by that might be able to give me a hand. Knowing that my wife was extremely displeased, but handled it very well, I tried several avenues to remedy this situation, including asking other hotel guests if they had a shirt I could borrow and stopping into nice restaurants in the area to see if the waitstaff had any shirts on hand. When those options failed, I ran the thirteen minute route down Randolph to find Hot Sam's. I arrived at their door at 5:10 pm and the store was alive with people getting measured for suits, people socializing on the loungers around the store, and managers and staff mingling with customers and regulars coming in and out of the store. They saw me as I entered, out of breath and sweating profusely, and asked what my situation was. I told them that I was in jeopardy of both missing a wedding and being killed by my wife, which they immediately smiled, gave me a napkin to dry my brow, and were able to tell the size of my shirt without even getting a measuring tape. The shirt was perfectly priced considering they could have charged me 4 x what I paid to solve the problem. They wished me well and told me they would be here to serve me (and others) for whatever the occasion would be in the future. Within 13 minutes, my emergency was resolved and I was able to causally stroll back to the venue feeling ready to dance the night away. I even beat my wife to the venue. I will definitely be returning to Hot Sam's in the future (once my shin splints heal) when I need to freshen up my wardrobe or find the perfect outfit for a special occasion. Thank you, gentlemen, for taking care of me and being a staple to this community.

It's not hard to see why they've been in business for 100 years!

"Your dresses should be tight enough to show you're a woman and loose enough to show you're a…read morelady."- Edith Head For someone used to wearing pants, dress shopping can be a little intimidating. This is doubly true when shopping outside your realm of knowledge- in this case, sari shopping. This is a world governed by fabrics and stones and stitching, where pricing can fluctuate wildly depending on how aggressively you deride their sticker price. If I were a raccoon or a crow, I'd be in shiny-thing heaven; as a Detroiter with a wardrobe ready for corporate finance, all the bling was a little overwhelming. The patterns and colors seemed so brazen, and in my mind sequins were relegated to Vegas showgirls and grandmas with mad Bedazzler skills. Still, with some expert assistance, I took the plunge and tried some things that were way out of my comfort zone, and they looked AMAZING. Maloncho is directly across from the heavy-hitter of sari shops, Rima Sari Center. As such, they differentiate themselves by specializing in more affordable outfits, in a much more customer friendly setting. Maloncho is bright and maneuverable, service is friendly and attentive, and bargaining is more readily accepted- everything that Rima is not. The most expensive saris are around $300, compared to the $300-$1000 at Rima. The dressing room is large and well lit, perfect for trying on multiple outfits and giving yourself a once over before coming out to show your companions. The rule of thumb at the sari shops in this area is that the price on the sticker is just a starting point for negotiations- you should expect at least $20-30 dollars off a cheap dress, and about 40% off an expensive dress. Also, the first discounted price they give you is NOT the best price that can be had. Ask a few times for the best price or for additional things thrown in for free (tailoring or jewelry), or simply make an offer. Tailoring at this location should run between $5 and $10 dollars and take roughly 24hrs to complete, well worth it for a garment to fit perfectly. For a bold red sari, two sets of bangles, and tailoring to take it in a bit, my total bill came to $70- perfectly reasonable for a special ensemble to wear to my best friends wedding. True location differs from what is listed on yelp: 12164 Conant St.

One word...Paranoid. This was the most unwelcoming establishment I have ever stepped foot in, ever…read more I wanted to give this place a try despite the rough and cheap looking items displayed and the shabby look of the exterior. It all screamed cheap to me and I even hesitated to even enter at all. My husband refused to go in and told me to leave my wallet behind as he felt it wasn't a safe place to enter even. I finally decided to try it out by the off chance that I might discover some flat shoes. I took a few pictures of the exterior and a few of the interior. The petite brunette woman with her hair tied back tightly asked what I was doing from behind the counter and I told her that I am a Yelp reviewer and was taking photos for my review. She said she was scared and was wondering why I was taking photos was all. I asked if I wasn't allowed to review this place and she said that it was fine. I browsed around some at the flats looking for a pair of silver and gold flats, that I have been in search for months now. As I was browsing the shoe aisle, this same woman was on the phone watching me like a suspicious and paranoid hawk. She then told me with a stern tone, while she was on the phone that she was on the phone with her boss and was told that I am not allowed to take any photos of her store. I told her that's too bad since I had already taken some photos when she gave me the go ahead earlier. I took no further photos and abruptly walked out of the store. I was in my car and my husband said the same skeptical woman came by the door and was clearly watching us while still on the phone. He said we should leave the parking lot immediately as he felt she was about to come out and approach us in the car to accost us or admonish us further about taking photos after the fact. This same woman acted as if I was either from a competitor store or from ICE, I am none of the aforementioned. I felt their treatment was uncalled for, rude, discomforting, suspicious and shady beyond words. Their ill treatment of me was tantamount to chasing me out with a big stick. It is unpardonable for a retail store or any business of value to treat customers this horribly. What ghastly service. Come only if you feel like being berated and treated and viewed as a social pariah, otherwise, next! They clearly have trust issues since they have a sign on the door that clearly states that all bags are to be left in the front. I had no issue leaving a bag or not even bringing one in the first place. I left my bag in the car and took only my wallet. The owner and staff member ought to be ashamed of themselves. It's highly recommended and very clear that the staff and owner here need to work on their trust issues and take customer service 101.
