It has taken me several months to put aside my anger and write this review. One year prior to my daughter's wedding I went to this shop with my sister. My goal was to see what kind of dresses were sold and also to try on a few dresses so that I could get a feel for a style that would work for me. No one offered me any help. When I took several dresses back to the fitting room, I was told to sit and wait while the saleswoman helped one other customer (yes, there was only one other costumer at the time!). After about 20 minutes I was allowed in a dressing room. To my surprise, I tried on and loved the first two dresses. However, when the saleswoman found out that the wedding was one year away, she told me in clear, loud, condescending voice, ""You are wasting my time. Come back in January and I'll dress you appropriately for a Country Club reception"". Needless to say, I was shocked! My sister is a store manager in charge of 90 employees. She said that she would fire any employee who spoke that way to a customer. A soon-to-be bride was shopping with her mother. She actually apologized for the saleswoman and told me that I was not wasting her time! I have never experienced such rude treatment. There is a happy ending to this story. I found a stunning shop just outside of Philadelphia and spent quite a bit of money on a gorgeous dress! I will never recommend Partridge in a Pear Tree based on my experience.
Cons: Terrible service
