I have been to this store several times... The first was for a prom dress and the help was wonderful and the service made me feel like I was a very important client. The second time I went to the store was to buy my Deb dress, and I had the owner help me ( he was fab!) and I felt like a queen for the day. So, at this point I was like I love this store. That's when things went sour. I went back to the store to get a all white dress for a party ( with my friend I had raved about the place too) and the staff wouldn't let me or my friend try on the clothes because they feared we would ruin them, and the clothes cost too much money for that to happen! I thought they were crazy! They also said that the dress I wanted cost $500 dollars, so I would do better going to some other place. I told them, "I can read a price tag, and I am a freaking size 6! I also said I don't need somone who is working here, not shopping here, to tell me my finances!" I took one of the dresses while my friend waited by the door to leave, and was about to try it on when I found "body fluids" all over the inside of the dress! Their pretty $500 dollar dress! I busted out laughing as I quickly handed the dress back to the store clerk and informed her that the last person who was deemed good enough to try on ( not buy) this dress left something on thie inside. When she looked, she turned bright red, and then tried to start being helpful. LOL. I will never in my life shop there again. These people are rude, and seem to not only try to judge how deep your pockets are, but all so your dress size.
Pros: Pretty clothes/ designer names/ Nice Owner
Cons: Rude Staff

I recently went shopping for a special occasion dress for my daughter, we started out at Betsey Johnson and wanted to comparison shop, we found a darling dress at St.Thomas, however, we recieved the SNOB appeal attitude with the dress. I was dressed nice, had a Juicy Coutoure bag in hand from earlier purchase but I got the feeling they didn't think I could afford or would buy the dress. I thought it was kind of funny..actually the dress I bought ended up costing $125 more then the dress I liked there. Had the sales service been less snobby and more personable I would have purchased the dress for another occasion. Too bad!
