After checking with her manager, she said it was OK. I got her business card with her email, and told her what day and time I would be in, and my size range (14 - 16). She emailed me AND called me to ask what style and lengths I wanted, so she could pull dresses for me when I came in.<br /><br />So after my makeover, I went to the dresses area, where another SA knew about my coming (my contact wasn't working). She starts a room for me, and hangs up 15 dresses of various lengths, styles, and colors, and I'm in heaven. The SA gives me feedback, helps me with zippers, and is amazingly positive.<br /><br />I couldn't decide between two dresses so I had the SA hold the two, and I came back the next day after the wig store to decide. In the meantime, the store had gotten a new shipment so this SA had pulled another 10 or so dresses to try on. I narrowed it down to three choices, and modeled each for the SA who was helping me and another SA who was there. We all agreed on the order of the three, and I bought two of them.<br /><br />Plus, they said anytime I want to come back, I am most welcome, because they enjoyed helping me.<br /><br />So because I was brave enough to ask, and because I was at a store that prides itself in customer service, I had the time of my life, and the possibility of doing it again in the future.<br /><br />So shopping while dressed is a big thumbs up.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-64276699284827591842016-10-28T07:53:05.248-04:002016-10-28T07:53:05.248-04:00Yes ... not to mention trying on clothes!!!
