Outfits for such special days when you are a bit overweight can be really difficult and stressful. We made an appointment at Special Event Boutique and Jackie waited on us. Our experience could not have been better. She helped us find a dress that was perfect and helped my friend feel confident and beautiful. We could not have asked for more. If you are looking for a special occasion dress, this is the place in Alexandria to go. Jackie was attentive and listened to her wants and gave advice. It was wonderful and the cost was very reasonable.

I had been to numerous boutiques and dress shops around Minnesota and North Dakota, and I ended up going back to Special Event Boutique to find my dream dress. There is such a beautiful and unique selection of gowns, you have to experience them for yourself! Definitely check out designers and the gowns they carry on their website and jot down different styles you want to try. Don't forget to step out of your comfort zone and have fun! You won't regret it :). Thank you again, Jackie and Special Event Boutique!

If there were zero stars, I would rank Jackie J's that low…read more I called on a Monday to see if they had four specific dresses I was looking for. I was told that they had each of the dresses and could pull them for me to try on. On Saturday, I drove the 2.5 hours from my home for my appointment, only to find that they only had one of the four dresses I had been promised. Instead of expressing remorse, the salesperson said, "well we don't have those!" and left me to try on "similar" dresses that were, in fact, quite dissimilar. Adding insult to injury, each of the dresses I was able to try on was so many sizes too large that I couldn't even tell what they would have looked like.

It was disappointing that all the try on samples were size 10 - 14. I can understand why, but for…read moresomeone who ended up getting a size 6 gown, trying on larger sizes made it very hard to get a sense of what dresses would look like.

This was the third dress shop I tried, and due to the patience of my consultant Katie (and somebody…read moreelse I can't remember!) and the wide selection, I ended up purchasing both my wedding gown (from the Allure Romance line) and finding bridesmaid dresses (from Bill Levkhoff) here as well. I live in the Washington, D.C. area and knew I wanted to knock out some dress purchasing while back home in the St. Cloud area during the winter holidays. We tried Celebrations first, but the selection there was quite paltry. Carrie Johnson had many more dresses and my consultant was great -- not pushy and just the right amount of attentive and energetically helpful. She was able to pull several dresses in my budget that fit what I was looking for. Would recommend trying for a weekday. We went on a Tuesday and the whole experience was laidback and not at all rushed like I've seen while helping other friends shop at places like David's. Highly recommend!

My fiancé and I elected to get the suits for our upcoming wedding, as we had a very bad experience…read moreat one of the other mall suit shops, and my fiancé had bought a suit here years ago. They're very affordable, and for their wedding package, you get to purchase a jacket, pants, shirt, tie and pocket square plus hemming of the pants for less than it costs to rent a tux at other places. They also had the light gray colored suits we were looking for. Tons of different tie options, with a lots of colors and designs, and everything looks pretty sharp. There were two main issues I have with the service, though. First, I absolutely understand shipping issues. Our suit order was placed in July/early August with a November return time. Ok, cool. Gives us wiggle room for our early February wedding. Well, first week of December rolls around and still nothing. We call them, speak to Anthony, and note that they never called us, and he told us "your one guy that ordered a vest, the vest is on back order so they won't ship the lot of everything until that comes in." Ok, we can still deal. A few weeks later, everything is there. When we go to pick up my fiancé's suit, the sales rep, Alex, tells us oh, actually they only sent us half your order and we had to send it back because if it comes from a different dye lot, they won't match. (Oh awesome, so now we've been lied to by one of these two guys...) My fiancé's suit fits, as do two of his groomsmen, and my father's suit. The other issue comes from the other groomsmen's suit. The size pants he supposedly asked to be ordered were way too big. They told us he lost a ton of weight between order and now. This guy is a super skinny, not possible, but Alex told me he disagreed when I called to enquire about the issue. (insert eyeroll) So they're gonna take his pants in. Great, now we're in the middle of Jan at this point. He goes to pick up the pants after the alteration, and now they're too small. (thanks Max for not knowing how to measure properly.) They offer to ship them to the groomsman since he lives an hour away, but they can't guarantee after the ADDITIONAL alteration of letting them back out some, that it'd arrive before the wedding. So our poor friend has to make yet another hour long drive just to get pants that are now redone for the third time the weekend before our wedding. They fit, but what a mass amount of back and forthing that was absolutely unnecessary.
