If you're on the hunt for a prom or formal dress without breaking the bank, Windsor is absolutely worth a visit. This store has a wide selection of beautiful gowns at very reasonable prices, making it a great option for one time wear events like prom or special occasions. While the dresses might not be the highest quality, they definitely look the part and for something you'll wear once they get the job done perfectly. The store itself is clean, well kept, and super cute inside, with a trendy and inviting atmosphere. Beyond the dresses, Windsor is also stocked with all the accessories you might need to complete your look from jewelry and purses to shoes and even undergarments that work with formalwear. It was really convenient to find everything in one place. We had the pleasure of being helped by Viviana, who was wonderful. She was kind, attentive, and so helpful in finding the right sizes and styles for us. Her warm attitude and eye for detail made the whole experience even better. Overall, Windsor is a great spot for stylish, affordable dresses and accessories with great customer service to match. read more

I tried to return 2 belts, boots, and a dress that I bought not even a week ago and the cashier (NATHALY who is apparently a manager that didn't even know the policy) was extremely rude. She told me that the only thing I could return was the boots since the dress was "dirty" (mind you i've never worn the dress!!) and my two belts were considered jewelry which apparently is final sale (I checked and no where in the jewelry section was a final sale sign and my receipt did not show final sale). On the plus side, I did call customer service and they were extremely helpful and said the cashier was WRONG and I could return the belts and the dress. I went to the Mission Valley location and all the employees there were very nice and assisted me. In the end the only thing I couldn't return was a necklace but I definitely had a better experience at another location. If you want HELPFUL and NICE customer service do not come to this location!! :) read more

everything about this store needs improvement! Ive never shopped at windsor before and I went a day after valentines to go buy a dress for plans that I had and spent $50 on it, the main reason why I never shopped here was because of the prices, $50 for a dress with a badly sewn zipper is insane. they told me I had 14 days to return it and I came back today and attempted to return the dress. it was in perfect condition, had no stains or rips or anything and I had both the tag and the receipt so I thought maybe they could give me my money back since I was only TWO days later but the cashiers (who were all rude btw) told me they couldn't give me a refund bc of the policy. I thought that was so stupid most stores wait up until a month. anyways, they said I could exchange the dress for any clothing they had so I went ahead and got a really basic shirt that was almost $30. as soon as I get home and tried it on it ripped from the chest and the sleeve where my hand is and it wasn't even tight on me. 30 for the cheapest quality i've ever had was shocking. even SHEIN has better quality and prices. they also told me I had to take another item since the dress was 50 and I had spent 28 and I asked if they could take my email or phone # instead and save the money for later and the lady just said "no you have to get another item" that was it. didn't even bother to help me out in any way at all. the clothes here are pretty cute but I could get the same things at another store. Ive never once had clothes rip and It was shocking to have spent so much money on such low quality. I didn't like my experience at this location at all and Id recommend to go spend your money somewhere worth it! read more

I stopped by earlier and had asked one of the workers if they could kindly check any of their other locations if they have the size I needed. They said they don't call other Windsor locations, I told them that my regular store in El Cajon calls other locations when needed. She said they don't call other stores and to just check online. I tried my best to find the size I needed online and rushed to the Windsor in El Cajon. Astrid the store manager, and the other girls there are always sweet, kind, welcoming and ready to assist you with any concerns. They were able to find the dress I needed, they always go above and beyond to help me the most they can at every visit read more

We we're waiting for the dressing room for 5 minutes nobody would help us and we help ourselves when they saw we went in they finally helped us and they were so rude the whole time it was all attitude they were all just standing on the register not helping just talking I did not feel welcome at all one star if I could no stars read more

Great formal dress selection. We did not think that we would find our sizes here, as they normally have dress sizes for less curvy women. We were pleasantly surprised to find 5 in our size to try on. The price and fit of the perfect one won us over and we made the purchase. I am so happy that my teenage daughter and I decided to come here to check out the dress selection for her event tonight. The dress is beautiful, perfectly fits, and is perfect for the price. The store staff was very customer service oriented. The woman who runs the dressing room was very helpful with a positive attitude. We appreciated her. The store manager, Jack, was very helpful and modeled great customer service as well...leading by example is awesome. Thank you we will return! read more

I got a few dresses from here for a photo shoot coming up. Jack helped me out with the dressing room and checking out. Great customer service! Wrapped my dresses in garment bags. They do offer military discount. Scored a dress for $10! read more

Oohhhh where do I begin, miss monae is the sweetest most patient person. As I'm about ready to give up and leave because I felt defeated and tired of honestly looking she just took over the entire experience, made me go get settled in a room with my 2 crazy kids and just took care of it all. She gave me so many options when I felt like there was none. She went above and beyond my expectations and I was sad to learn she is leaving the company, to pursue what makes her happy and she is one beautiful happy person. Thank you for making my day, and for finding me a dress for something on such short notice. You will be missed girlie !! read more

So I went in today to this store with me lady, we found a really nice dress that she liked but decided to do some more hunting. So here is the review based on atmosphere, presentation, customer service and over all experience. First the store looks amazing, I like how they have the set up, with the more inexpensive stuff in front. This is also the area where the clubbing or Les formal styles are. The center has all your needs for strapless and jewelry. The back has all the formal styles. So in set up, I really enjoy it. The atmosphere feels nice, you are left to kind your business until (this is what I saw) my lady needed to try on some dresses. That's when one of the employees arrived and that was our only interaction the first time we went in. So you can loom around comfortably and no o e will be over you. The customer service in my personal opinion and as a previews Style guide for a custom made to measure store, as well as working like a sales associate for more than 6 years. They lack in the field. The second time we where looking for the dress, we couldn't find it. Non of the employees came to ask if we needed anything. They where in their own world. When I went to loom for one I asked if they had a style we had saw earlier. She said she would go look in the back, but she never did. Every time she was in the front doing I don't know what. She saw me a couple times and she just smiled and turned the other way. Like the service was terrible. The only interaction I got was when I asked her and at the register. Like not even a ounce of try to show your looking. They wherent that busy at that time. So if you with out knowing what you want, don't expect a lot of help. The price points where fair, as a Fashion designer I would say it is a fair price and the fit is really well. Me lady looked amazing in the dresses she choose. read more

Horrid experience. Myself and my friend were browsing for clothes to wear to a concert and the entire time we were there, the staff were following customers around the store. If you removed an item from a rack for half a second just to look at it, they would ask "can we get a room started for you" and if you said no, they would be overly persistent to the point of annoyance about holding it at the register. It literally happened with every item anyone had. It was 5 items for me-that is ridiculous. I don't know if they've had excessive loss prevention issues in the past and they just don't trust their customers but I WILL NOT BE BACK. This is not how you manage a clothing store. Atrocious! read more

Windsor - This mountain of clothes are the clothes that the employees "confiscated"while distracting customers from browsing - Accessories Near Me - National City, California

I've been to all the Windsor locations in San Diego but have never had an experience as I did with Monae. She was not only friendly but she went so above and beyond to help my daughter find a formal dress. She suggested dresses out of her comfort zone as well because Monae had personal experiences with the dresses. My daughter ended up buying something out of her comfort zone which she looks fabulous in! If it wasn't for Monae continually checking on us and asking how my daughter liked the dresses she probably would've chosen something else. Monae made our experience as if we had a personal shopper and hype woman. I've never had a shopping experience like this, let alone at any other Windsor. So THANK YOU Monae, you made a difference in a young girls life and boosted her confidence more than you know! read more

I've been shopping here for several years since early years in college. I am taking 2 stars off for the reason of sizing being not for every shape other than smaller sized people and and a star off for bad policy for returns. Let me say right off the bat, the customer service is not horrible I actually appreciate the ladies who work at this store they are quite friendly and helpful. It is not there fault that the company itself has many flaws so this review is in regards to the company overall. First off I am not happy with the sizing of this store it is not versatile for actual real life women who have some junk in the trunk and cellulite. This store is geared more towards high schoolers sizing and younger ages like about 17-21 years of age I'd say. And this is not because I do not like the clothes at my age it's because the sizing is soooo small fitting even size large and I am a woman now. Thus, I no longer shop here it's not versatile for me as I get older and for people that are larger in size. If the clothes were larger and versatile for different shapes I would stay a customer at this store and recommend it but obviously not the case. Second, Windsor's policy requires you to return items within 14 days of it being shipped and usually that takes a couple days in itself to get to you depending on when you order. I am the type that keep the stuff for a week try it on move around see if it fits and if I get around to it by the next week to return it that's quick for me. I do not have the time to go to the mall usually with one week only that is the whole reason I online shop. Return time is too short and inconvenient for customers do not like that at all, thus I gave up on this store recently because I do not have the time to deal with it. read more

Best thing about shopping there is the manager! "Monae" Omg! She totally helped up choose dress, shoes pretty much everything. She so enthusiastic, that it makes it fun to shop there. My daughter hates shopping, but she was totally having fun. Thanks again Monae! read more

First time here. I came to this store to shop for my maternity photoshoot. I was patiently waiting in line, when I saw the cashier being so nice to the customer infront of me once it was my turn her attitude change for no reason it made me feel uncomfortable, she was giving me a nasty look & gave me my bag all rude. I used to work as a retail & I don't know what made her think being rude to me was ok, I'm a pregnant lady who was just being nice. It happened Wednesday night around 6pm hope you see this. Next time I'll call you out. read more

i was treated so rudely by the manager at the Windsor el cajon store! i tried to return wrinkled up dress that would not smooth out when my granddaughter put it on! The manager said all sales are final!! and then laughed at me and told me to sell this deficient dress that i paid $79.99 for. when i told her i won't shop there anymore, she laughed again showing off to her other employees !, and replied "I don't care!". that's fine!". i have never been treated so rudely by anyone in a clothing store. they are usually helpful and nice! not shopping there again! read more

I had a great experience shopping here! I wanted to thank Monae for going out of her way to help me out so much! She picked out the perfect dress and had such a positive attitude. I can really tell she enjoys what she does. I will definitely be coming back here for other events! Thank you so much Monae for helping me find the best dress for this wedding!! read more

Jack was super attentive and super helpful! I was able to pick out the perfect dress for my birthday. He really went above my expectations!

I went back to this place but the employees there have a really bad attitude they were so rude. Bugged the shit out of me so I left. The first time I went I had purchased a dress and went back to change size when i purchased the dress there printing machine wasnt working for the receipts so the employee wrote down what i had bought on a peice of paper, when i went back to exchange size they wouldnt believe me i purchased the dress there they were assuming i stoled the dress pissed me off such an embarrassement i do recommend there clothing and stuff just horrible customer service here.!!!! read more

I recently shopped at Windsor to look for a formal gown for my one year anniversary. I've been having a hard time finding a floor length blue gown and have been driving all over town looking for one. I called the store before I went to make sure they had a few options for me and they said they had many blue gowns. When I came in I wasn't disappointed. I tried on about five blue dresses, all of which beautiful, and finally found the perfect one. The young lady helping me at the dressing rooms (I didn't catch her name) was extremely helpful, pulled a few dresses for me and gave me input on the dresses. The dress I fell in love with had a few snags, to be expected from people trying them on, so I asked the manager Keyana if she could double check if she had another one just in case. She didn't which wasn't a deal breaker for me, the snags were very minor, and I appreciated her taking the time to look (it was pretty busy in the store). She then helped me find a perfect pair of shoes to tie it all together. I will definitely come back for future events I need to buy dresses for, overall very happy with my experience and Keyana was extremely helpful and sweet. The previous reviews didn't reflect my experience at all, which was initially a concern of mine. Thank you again ladies! read more

Every time I come here the team members are so friendly. Today in particular, Alexis (Ali) was so awesome. She went above and beyond to help pick out outfits for me. There was a younger girl with braces and she was great too. Ali was very friendly, and on top of her job. I will come back to shop here not only because it's heaven for a women but also because the team members are so great! read more

Pretty dresses! I enjoy seeing them. However, they are quite pricey. On the food note, I went in there after Christmas, they have a sale racks for $5. I think that was a deal! read more

BRAIN BRIAN BRIAN!!! BEST EMPLOYEE AT WINDSOR PLAZA BONITA For the past year or so I have had major events to go to and needed to look fly for all. By LUCK every time I walk in that store Brian is there to help in every way. He is so nice and his knowledge for fashion is everything. He has such an amazing soul and I just want to come in the store to talk to him lol. Honestly, Brian is a huge blessing in that store and so amazing. He doesn't pressure you to buy and gives the best advice. Brian, thank you for helping me every time I walk in that store. I come out happy with my purchase and customer service. You are appreciated Tiffany read more

Shopped there yesterday and I am so happy with the dresses I found! They are perfect for the occasions I am going to in the next few weeks, which is why the store gets 2 stars one for each dress I found! NO THANKS TO THE GIRLS WORKING THERE! not only were they rude but they did not assist me when I asked for help finding another dress. I tried on a particular dress and loved the style but wanted another color and I was told that it only came in black. My freind looked on the rack and found the same one in blue and in several sizes! Talk about lazy! This is the third time I go into this store only to receive rudeness and poor customer service overall. Mind you the last two times I went in I had my toddler with me and I was ignored! And barely shown a fitting room! I only go back for the clothing but I don't take my time shopping like.i normally would. Such a shame to see a store I used love shopping in be run by a bunch rude ladies. read more

Brian is fantastic! I believe the store was super swamped because of homecoming season, but he killed the game! Very attentive and quick to help out, getting people in and out of the changing rooms with great customer service. I live closer to Mission Valley, but I have to come to Plaza Bonita now for cute, quality dresses after that location closed. I'm happy to know that this store is in good hands. Hands down would 10/10 rather shop at Windsor than Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe for dresses. Windsor dresses are so sexy and flattering! The bodycon ones are so silky and definitely cinch you well. Charlotte Russe dresses always feel so horrible and fit very cheaply. Definitely go to Windsor for your dresses! read more

Worst Customer Service Ever. I've worked in retail for 4 years and the atmosphere of this store is very toxic. The moment I stepped in no one greeted me nor acknowledged my existence. They watch you like hawks if you are trying on clothes, and it seems that they assume you're already stealing (which is very uncomfortable) and I've only been to this store twice because my friend works there but man I will never come back. When I came to the check out, the (Mexican long haired ) employee didn't even acknowledge me. Just took my clothes and told me the total. Didn't smile. Didn't even glance at me. I accidentally knocked something down, and I apologized for it. And her little co worker (blonde/brown wavy hair laughed at my face. Super rude. If any of these people are considered "managers," is such a tragedy to give a position to someone not worthy of the position. Never ever ever coming back again. Store was also messy, yet there were 4 people in that small store working. Maybe I'll give other Windsor's a chance, but not this location. Which is trash. read more

Best service ever ! They treated me like a super star and helped me find the perfect dress ! Great customer service

(nyah )petite long black hair what a bad customer service ever!!!!! so rude always in a rush she didn't let me try the shirt i want it to try for a very specail occasion today is not even a friday for her to rush me out of the store she didnt even greet me . but she could charge me but not let me try out the shirt i want it . i said thank you after her charging me didnt wven make eye contact very dissapointed! read more

My girlfriend and I were looking for a dress for her to wear to her daughters graduation. We'd basically been to almost all the different shops in Plaza Bonita mall...and had almost zero luck. So when we got to Windsor, I know I wasn't really expecting much. We both had started looking around, when salesperson Brian politely asked us if we needed any help. I think we both said we're just looking, and he said ok. We went on our way looking around more, and he moved on to help others and do some straightening up... ...about 5 minutes later he popped by and asked me if we were looking for anything in particular? I explained yes, we were looking for a dress for my girlfriend's daughters' graduation? He asked a few other questions about colors she likes, style, etc... I brought my girlfriend into the conversation...and she took to his friendliness and personality right away... ...long story short, Brian helped us find maybe 5 different dresses for her to try (way more than we found anywhere else). She decided on ONE that was great on her! Brian then helped her find a necklace, earrings and bracelet to match. Now we're all set, which is a huge worry off my girlfriend's mind...which means it's a worry off my mind :) :) We really appreciate all the extra effort that Brian took to help us out. Pros: (1) I'd say Brian is very engaging and caring about trying to find what people really want, colors that work with their skin, eyes, etc...and really has a good way with people...making them feel comfortable...as I saw it with other customers too... (2) AND, Windsor as a store has prices that are very fair, selection is nice there, and it just has a nice vibe in this store. You sense people working there seem happy to be working, and seem eager to help customers...which you don't see unfortunately at so many other stores. I'd recommend at least checking it out if you're a girl/woman looking for something nice to wear for a special occasion. Cons: none read more

Terrible. God awful customer service from ALL the sales associates there yesterday. I will NOT ever recommend their store to anyone, at least not this location. I work for one of the top employers in San Diego, and they are all about great customer service-We are all about it. What I witnessed my best friend and god daughter experience at this location yesterday was downright appalling and maddening, enough to piss me off to write this review. I was on a good one with my reviews giving places 4 and 5 star reviews. I was hoping to save my 100th review for something spectacular and raving about the goodness of a business but NOT TODAY BOO BOO. Look, I get it. Homecoming is around the corner. It's hell in that store. There's a line to try on dresses and everyone is running around with their head cuts off. I feel you, that's how I feel at work when flu season is around. You get overwhelmed. I GET IT. But what I don't seem to understand is why would you BUMRUSH a 15 year old who waited PATIENTLY in the same damn line that everyone else waited in, to hurry up. They were not in the dressing room more than 10 minutes. She had 4 dresses. 4 damn dresses. Everyone else? 8 plus dresses-one lady I saw going in there had about 15 dresses and some women were there trying on shoes in the dressing room. Not one word was said to anyone else. But you singled out my goddaughter to rush her? Why would you rush a sale? Aren't you supposed to treat each customer like they're important and give them great service each time? What my goddaughter received was PISS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. I was the one who told my best friend to get the district manager's name and yes, they will hear from us because I am absolutely appalled. I get it, the store is not Bloomingdales or Saks 5th-but you don't treat customers like shit because YOU ARE OVERWHELMED. Your staff's audacity to single out a 15 year old girl who had 4 dresses to try on for homecoming was appalling. Your lack of customer service and for providing such a crappy service to a paying customer? ABYSMAL. I have 5 goddaughters-these are girls that will be needing dresses in the near future and I will never walk into a Windsor to spend my hard earned money on a dress. Customer service is everything. Perception is everything. You failed Windsor. I have been bringing nieces and goddaughters to your store for years and you failed. Mic drop. read more

This rating is solely because of my experience with Brionne. She was amazing! Upon entering the store she was friendly and professional. She helped me look for a dress for my engagement photos coming up. She recommended dresses to match my skin tone and I felt so taken care of. She remembered my name the entire visit and always used it while speaking to me. Brionne made me feel as if I was the only person in the store even though she was attending to so many other customers. I greatly appreciate her help and will definitely be back to see Brionne. read more

Horrible, horrible customer service!!!! This was my second time here this week and both times were bad but today was awful! All the chicks in there had terrible attitudes. I spent a lot of money getting my daughters dresses. One of the dresses had a lot of glitter and she bunched both of them in a bag together and had the nerve to get funky when we asked for separate bags for them. Will never be going back. They 100% need new management!! read more

I really appreciate their customer service. The second you walk right in, they're very welcoming and explain to you in detail what's new and what's on sale. They like to check up on you ever so often, which I have no problem with because they also like to compliment you and give fashion pointers. Every time I go to this store, they're very friendly, always smiling, and willing to help you in any way. Id definitely recommend this store over the one in Mission Valley (ugh rude) any day due to the way they present themselves and how they treat their customers. You won't find a girl with an attitude here, that's for sure. read more

As a retail manager, I really appreciate good service. Went in there to browse for a trip to Seattle. Kiana, ari, and denisse were able to help me out. It was much more than just asking if I was doing okay or setting up a fitting room, they actually engaged in conversation to figure out exactly what I was looking for. Very friendly staff. read more

My wife and I came in to get a dress for a formal affair. Jordan (names is probably spelt wrong) was very helpful. She brought my wife a numerous amount of outfits and dresses to try on. We ended up purchasing the first one she showed us, I definitely enjoyed the over all experience. read more

This is my all time favorite store ever. The girls at the plaza Bonita location are always so sweet

Really poor customer service at this store. The first time I went in I found something I liked and purchased it however the lady I spoke to regarding some questions was really rude and had such an attitude (didn't want to give me her name). I returned a few days later to return the dress because it had a malfunction that I didn't notice, at the cashier the lady implied that I was cheap and used it once just to return it. Horrible customer service and will not be returning here. Quality is cheap anyways. read more

Brian saved the day! I was looking for the perfect gown for a wedding in France. My husband and I had combed through at least 5 other stores and found nothing. We were tired and frustrated by the time we walked into Windsor, and my husband just approached Brian for help in picking a dress. Brian asked me about the occasion and my personal preferences. He also knows how to boost a woman's self-esteem like no other. His energy and enthusiasm are contagious. Ultimately, I settled on a beautiful gown Brian picked for me that I would never have picked for myself. He also set me up with some jewelry that complimented the dress well. I'm so happy with my gown and can't wait to wear it in France next week. I will definitely return for a dress for my next special occasion, and hope Brian will still be there to lend a helping hand and some confidence-boosting words. read more

I don't ever write a review for retail store but I have to admit, I absolutely love this store!! I came in the store a couple days ago to look for an evening outfit for a special occasion and Kianna helped me out. She was sooo sweet, helpful and may I say patient. I probably would of been stuck in there for hours, she immediately knew what I was looking for and I'm a very picky person. I will, most definitely, go back and ask for her! read more

This store has the worst costumer service. They don't have any real sense of priority. The system they have for fitting rooms is disastrous. Specifically, Brianna, asked my friend if she would like them to hold her dress at the front for her, my friend agreed. We came to the front, the three girls standing at the registers were talking and did not acknowledge us until we asked them to help us. Brianna forgot about my friend altogether and had put the dress back rather than holding it at the front. She then proceeded to talk to one of the other girls and we had to ask if she was ringing or not. Her response was a straight no. This establishment doesn't even hold items on the weekends. I don't think I'll ever be shopping here again. read more

Ok so I normally let my wife shop for our girls, but due to schedules I had to take my girls dress shopping. Little did I know I was going to come to Windsor National City and have the pleasure of dealing with the store manager Jennifer. She not only was so polite and friendly, she helped me with sizing shopping for best prices and made my whole shopping experience and wonderful one. I will never be afraid or worried about taking my daughters shopping again ( only because I am coming back to Windsor National City to see Jen ) :-) read more
