I found a dress in a shop in another city, and Jill's, which is close to home, carried that line. The shop is small - but the selection is giant for wedding dresses, party dresses, pageants, mother of the bride. On my second visit (first time - the owner was away) I ordered a Raylia dress through them. Even with Hurricane Ike, the dress came in a couple of weeks before they expected. When I returned for alterations, the seamstress was an hour late, but the owners reassured me with a nice glass of wine. The alterations were complete on time. When I returned, i tried on the dress - it fit great - and left with a complimentary garment bag and a gift. Overall, it's a family business. Don't get turned off by the size of the shop. The service was personal.
Pros: Variety
Cons: Tiny storefront
