I have never been so humiliated or disappointed in a place with such a high reputation. At my second fitting for my bridesmaid's gown the salesperson at Claire Dratch commented that I had put on a lot of weight and then proceeded to instruct me to not eat any bread between the time of the fitting and the wedding I was to be in...I am 5'8"" and have never weighed more than 140lbs. In addition, a friend of mine who went to try on wedding gowns was admonished by the sales staff and told to go on a diet plan before the wedding. I would highly recommend, if you do not want your self esteem torn to shreds, that you avoid Claire Dratch at all costs. Who would want to pay thousands of dollars to a store where the staff humiliates you?
