    This place is a hidden gem. Loads of prom dresses to choose from and very well organized. Staff was…read morevery helpful finding dresses for my daughter that was her style. So happy we found this place. I would just recommend if you're getting your daughters formal dress there, take it somewhere else for alterations. The lady the recommend that comes in for alterations was very rude and condescending to my 18-year-old daughter who was paying for everything by herself. No one told us ahead of time that she only took cash and she basically said that she does not deal with children. I have a very responsible and independent 18-year-old daughter at home and she would not deal with because she was there for a prom dress alteration. She kept referring to her as a "child". I will definitely go back for dresses but I will take my alterations business elsewhere

    Very rude at my recent visit last week. Also I had a dress for my daughters prom on hold before…read moreCovid and I was making payments on it and then Covid hit and I asked for my money back because they canceled prom and they refused to so I lost my money. I gave them a chance even after that and after this second time we will never return and I have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars over the past six years there. It's crazy to think that as a business owner you would be absolutely rude to a customer that you have seen every single year that was willing to put money into your store.

    I attempted to make a $350 purchase on the day of a special sale in the cosmetic department at…read moreGalleria Mall Ft Lauderdale. The Head of the department refused my purchase because I had given the sales person a tube of what I needed and she was so dumb she couldn't find the item. I had to go find the item for her then when I wanted my tube back, she claimed she couldn't find it so I said well is she stealing my tube? It took them an hour and a half looking through security cameras, and I kept saying just go look behind the counter and they would not look! So finally, I just went and walked behind the counter myself and there it was sitting right as I said it would be! I believe she was trying to steal it from me and then when I prove this they refused to allow me to make my purchases! I had to call Dillards in other cities, explain how I was treated and then they honored the sale. Worst part about it is she was a Latino woman dressed to look like exactly Kristie Noem secretary of Homeland security in a camo baseball hat. And this is a dept mgr? Wearing a camo baseball cap to work! That is disgustingly! Dillard's services is supposed to be to a high end clientele with those prices, so stop giving ghetto service! No wonder malls are going broke! They turn down sales! This was reverse discrimination. I'm old while lady. She is young Latina! And this is the third or fourth time I've had the same problem in the same store where I am discriminated against by Latina sales people. My proof is the black security officer comes and tells me every single time what they said and did to you is not right! They aren't treating you right in this store and you shouldn't be treated like this, why do you shop here?!!! So the black and the white person is together against the way the Latina sales ppl are treating the customers? This is disgusting ppl.

    Love love love Dillards. Their sales are fabulous, help is great, and knowledgeable. Especially…read morethe ladies sleepware and intimates.

Now for my experience. I'm a plus size person well into the plus size range the selection was limited but the dresses were quality I'm not disappointed in the trip I found a dress my first visit to Kosovo I'm not disappointed in the trip I found a dress my first visit I was expecting the same on my second trip but I also was looking for more of a specific type of dress as well they did not have it I found one that was two signs and smaller than what I needed and they couldn't order it in my size it was unfortunate and disappointing but the staff was still kind and the selection was still wonderful it's not the stores fault I can't fit the gown all together I think my experience was great and I would continue to go there to look for girls for my upcoming events as I love to dress up but I do buy I'm not just playing

    Absolutely Unacceptable Experience with the Owner…read more We visited Kotsovos to find a prom dress for my autistic daughter. Before we even started, we clearly communicated to staff that she cannot be touched and requires a patient, respectful approach while shopping -- especially because she is very particular about textures and styles. The sales associate we worked with was understanding and kind, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the experience was ruined when the owner of the store barged into the fitting area, grabbed my daughter's arm while she was half-undressed, and completely disregarded our very clear boundaries. My daughter, overwhelmed, tried to shut the door for privacy, and the owner actually tried to grab the door from her and then proceeded to argue with me, calling my daughter rude. Touching an autistic child without permission is not only inappropriate -- it's harmful. Doing so while the child is in a state of undress is inexcusable. Instead of speaking to the parent (me), she escalated the situation with my daughter, who was already vulnerable and overstimulated. This was one of the most unprofessional and upsetting retail experiences we've ever had. I do not recommend this store to anyone -- especially families with neurodivergent children.
