The short of it all: Shopping at Lady Margaret's is like shopping at a car dealership. Too many similarities to list. And I can say that because I've worked at one before. \r
\r
Where to begin? Well, their dressing rooms are spacious and each one is pretty much private which is nice (think of the showroom at a car dealership). Sales staff is very friendly (think of the sales people at a car dealership). Owner is absolutely rude (think of the managers at a car dealership). I found the dress I'm buying for considerably less at two other stores and when I asked if they price matched, they said they did within reason, which is completely understandable. When I told them what price the other shops have the dress at, Lady Margaret came in and said to make sure the dress I would be buying from the other store is a true Mori Lee (hmm...interesting, since I got the stores' names and #s, including Lady Margaret's, off the Mori Lee website).\r
\r
Then she says she can match it if I can ""bring in a written note saying they will sell it to you at that price."" And she continues with a couple other questions and comments, clearly insinuating that she thinks I'm completely lying. I fail to see why on Earth people think they should try to put a hard sell on a bride (and be rude on top of that) to sell a bridal gown. \r
\r
So, I'm heading to the other shop that has the ""true Mori Lee"" gown for much less. Seriously, if I'm going to another shop that sells the gown for less, I'm not going to get a written note saying they will sell it to me at $XX price, I'm just going to buy the dress from them, especially since they know how to treat a customer.
Pros: Private, large dressing rooms
Cons: RUDE owner, higher prices
