My daughter is a pageant competitor so we are always out and about searching for new gowns. We purchased a gown from here and we didn't have a bad experience.
The staff was friendly. Yes, most of them are teenagers but they all seemed friendly and like they enjoyed what they were doing.
My only complaint is the lack of knowledge of the staff. I suppose for prom or homecoming a place like this is fine to go to, alls you need is a nice gown to feel pretty in, however for pageantry please stay away.
They claim they have someone who ""understands"" pageantry but really, they don't. All of the gowns are overpriced and tacky. A 'pageantry expert' will recommend a complete horrid gown for your daughter. We came once when we were inexperienced in pageantry and we bought a dress we were recommended. After all of the experience and knowledge we have gotten, it's amazing to believe we let them trick us like that.
With experience in pageantry, also comes a lot of shopping in other boutiques, shops, etc. Lets just say compared to other shops, PD sucks.
Nonetheless, the icing on the cake was the over-priced alteration services. They where cheaply done and way to expensive. Just cut around the bottom..
I'd give the perfect dress a decent rating but not a good one. They've got a boring selection of gowns. Trashy 16 year olds will love them though!
