For the past eight years at least I have shopped at this store and have never had a problem. Mary and Dana have always gone out of their way to serve me whether it be a wedding, graduation, attire for a cruise, a dress for a pagent, or simple articles of clothing to chaperone school trips with my children, or a dress for church. In additon I have always found the proper accessories such as shoes, purses and jewelry. If I ever did have a problem it was always corrected efficiently and effectively. Never has Mary or Dana been rude to other customers nor have they been rude to me.
There was a time in my life when I worked as a bridal consultant myself. People must remember that this is a speciality shop. Very expensive stock is at risk. By this I mean people come into to the store wearing pounds of makeup and jewerly and get offended when asked to remove it. Remember, these dress are not sales, but pieces that can be immediately sold off the floor. This enables the customer to purchase something without ordering and many time is a one and only piece. Make-up stains and jewerly will catch on many o the fine fabrics offered. People do not want damaged goods but it is not the responsibily of the owner to correct the problem due to the neglect of the customer., The customer should know better. In addition the customer needs to allow time. Selecting something at a specialilty shop is just that, special and one needs to allow time a d patience to do so.
I will continue to shop at Partridge in a Pear
Tree, and will highly recommended it to anyone looking for a speciality dress, or simply something to wear to church, or on vacation. I know I have found things there that are in style, and not found in any other stores in the area and always receive plenty of compliments.
Pros: Personal Service and a fantastic selection
