So, i went dress shopping here last thursday, ya know, during the freakin' monsoon that was happening, but my MOH really wanted to go with me and that's when we were both available...let's just say it was an interesting experience...i will first say that i have already been to Brides & Grooms and the Bridal & Tuxedo outlet, both of which are very nice, good service, clean, etc...Fantasia was a whole other ballgame...we went in the evening, there was only one older lady in the store...she only let me try on 5 dresses, they make you wear their own bra and slip thing which was weird for me (so i had 2 bras on!) and i couldn't take any photos of me in the dresses, it just so happens that i found 2 dresses that i kinda liked and i wanted to show my mom, but the woman said no, so that was kinda irritating...the really ridiculous thing for me was that the woman kept telling me to get in the dress while on the pedestal and she was helping me into the dresses, first off- i'm tall, this woman was short, so shortie is trying to get me into a dress when i'm up on the pedestal and already towering above her...it just wasn't working out too well for me, then to top it off, they don't use any clips to tighten the dress!!! (b/c they were all too big) so now shortie is holding the dress on me so i can look at it, it was just dumb...every time i moved to look in the mirror she had to move with me...annoying...plus i had already read from others that they don't like to give out the dress makers, well, when i asked i thought she wasn't going to tell me, but she finally did...of course, now i can't find either dress online which also irritates me...i also had to get out of the dress while simultaneously getting off the pedestal, disaster waiting to happen! anyways, thought i would share my experience!
