Not only did I find the staff to be lazy, rude and completely unapproachable, but it was also clear that they had no knowledge of their own stock!
The dresses had multiple labels on them and no one seemed to know which was right, they didn't know the prices and they were unable to give me any indication of how much alterations would be. I also got the distinct impression that they were planning to make extra money from me at the alteration stage as despite the sample dress being a perfect fit they claimed they would have to order it in a bigger size in case I put on weight.
I was specifically after a tea length dress and at no point did anyone attempt to hold up the dresses so I could get an idea of how it would look tea length. In fact every time I mentioned that I wanted a tea length dress the assistant tutted and said 'well I don't see why you would want to cut up a dress, I wouldn't do it'.
The finally straw for me was when I was unable to try on the dress I had originally gone to see as another bride, there at the same time, was already trying it. Eventually she left and I was able to try the dress, but the moment had been completely ruined by seeing another bride (with a completely different figure and style) in it only moments before.
I left feeling very disappointed and unvalued as a potential customer. Suffice to say I shall not be purchasing my gown from WM and I shall not be recommending them to anyone in the future. read more
