I was so excited to finally see the Melissa Sweet and Priscilla of Boston dresses that I've been checking out for months online. I live in downtown Chicago and my sister (my maid of honor) is in this weekend visiting from Michigan. We ventured out to Oakbrook and the trip was a HUGE letdown. We were assigned to a room but our "helper", nor anyone else in the store, bothered to check in on us. I helped my sister into a dozen gowns and clipped her in myself. No one brought us color swatches or assisted with changing from dress to dress, which would have been more acceptable if our presence had ever been acknowledged.
The dress selection was fairly lame overall - Overpriced for what the gowns are. These lines are sold elsewhere and I would pay more at another shop before ever setting foot in the Oakbrook Priscilla of Boston shop again. I have 8 bridesmaids, and I will be taking my money elsewhere. I'm just very disappointed that we wasted our afternoon trekking out to Oakbrook. City girls: don't waste your time or money - There are way too many great shops downtown.
