Sugarplums... OVERPRICED

ladies.... I very rarely post things on here... but i got so aggravated today at Sugarplums that i felt compelled to spare you from the same misery i suffered!
1) They don't allow appointments, so you have to go and 'sign in' and wait for a salesperson to help you. We waited for approx 20min.
2) We were told that the MOB dresses were in a 'vault', so there was nothing to look at while we waited. We were told to amuse ourselves by looking at some prom dresses.
3) After we finally got some help, my mom told the woman what she was looking for, and surfaced from the vault with only 3 dresses! all of which we tried on at other salons.
4) The best one so far..... EACH DRESS IS ABOUT $200+ MORE THAN OTHER SALONS.
5) They do have dresses in many sizes, but when we asked what size my mom had on, we were told 'oh. we dont tell sizes here'. Oh im sorry! I didn't know it was a big secret.
6) STUFFED WITH TEENAGERS LOOKING FOR SWEET 16 DRESSES

Ladies..... bottom line..... I don't recommend this place unless you like waiting, only looking at 3 dresses, chilling with teenagers, and spending 200+ more than you would everywhere else.

I vented. I feel better now!

I was there today with my mom. The place was mobbed with teenagers We had exactly the same experience. Nothing to browse through, and finally 3 dresses came out of the vault. Each time my mom said I not in love with it the saleslady would get all annoyed. Her most eloquent remark ' what exact are you looking for? That just took my mother over the edge, at that point my mom said it seems you don't have what I am looking, so sorry we disturbed you and thank you for your time. Just a note about their dresses all the labels say 'Sugar Plum'. No name brands. However most of the gowns are made by mon Cheri and jovani. It's what they call a private label deal. Same styling cheaper fabrics, totally over priced for the quality Mon Cheri sells for the same price only they have pretty fabrics and workmanship. I also would not recommend

Yep I had the same experience there too! That did not have a big selection at all for my mom. After waiting for a salesperson there wasn't even anything for her to try on!

We ended up finding her gown at bridal world.

My mom went there looking for an MOB dress for my sisters wedding a couple years ago. She had the WORST experience, the people were so rude and their selection was terrible. She said she will never ever go back there again!
