Editorial Review for Glamour Closet – by Lorraine Sanders

In Short
Overstock inventory from upscale wedding retailers and designer samples of wedding dresses--all priced at steep discounts--populate the neatly arranged racks at this bridal shop. Ladies headed down the aisle sift through labels like Monique Lhuillier, Vera Wang and Carolina Herrera. A back dressing room provides ample space to try on favorite finds. The no-appointments-necessary policy makes popping in to browse or buy a hassle-free experience.

Beautiful, designer dresses, very unfriendly employees that appeared annoyed to have to answer questions and seemingly did not like that I was touching the dresses in order to inspect them. This was the first store I visited just to get an idea of what appealed to me (did not even try anything on, just dropped in on way home from work) and although their bad attitudes could not diffuse my excitement about the experience, I was disappointed to be treated so poorly on what was an important and special day for me. Nevertheless, the dresses were beautiful and prices were good for high quality product, so if on a budget but seeking designer dress, I recommend sucking up the poor service and going anyway.

I found the dress of my dreams at this store! A dress by Anne Barge that I had tried on else where and could not afford at the price of $10,500. I found my same dress at the Glamour Closet for $2,500! 75% off a dress they had got in their shipment 2 days before I visited the store in perfect condition! I could not believe it and I am still in shock that I get to have my fairytale wedding with the perfect gown. I would recommend getting there when the doors open because they do not make appointments, you sign in and wait for them to call you. While hearing this may seem like a hassle do not let it deter you because the people there are committed to helping you and their selection is unbeatable! I was hours behind on their waiting list when I came in and found my dress, but Hanna managed to help me get in sooner so no else one would buy it before me. Also I can't stress enough that this is not one of those stores that brags about having dresses that are "UP to" 75% off and then still has outrageous prices. Their dresses really are priced affordably especially for what you're getting (all the top designers!). An added bonus is that their dresses have the original prices along with the discounted ones attached so you know how much you're saving! They are the best kept secrete for wedding gowns hands down!

Pros: Parking is just down the block very close! The dresses are arranged beautifully and in excellent condition, you would not even know they were samples.

Cons: No appointments, but it's more than worth the wait!
