We went to Priscilla this weekend looking for wedding gowns. We had just been to Suky, which was an awful experience, so we wanted to try something else, and we called up Priscilla and asked if we could come in, even though we didn't have an appointment. They were very nice and told us to come right over. They have gorgeous gowns, although I wouldn't recommend going unless you are willing to spend about $2500-3000 (and up). Our consultant was very friendly and helpful, and she assisted us with gowns, veils/headpieces, and even bridesmaid dresses. We discussed ways to personalize dresses (I'm sure for extra money!), but in general, the experience was positive: great customer service, great selection of gowns, and the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. They even brought the seamstress in to show my sister how the gown would look bustled, which was very nice. We felt very welcomed and relaxed, and the dressing rooms were private and huge, which is great for girls who don't want the entire store as an audience! I would highly recommend this store to other brides who are looking for gowns.
Pros: Beautiful gowns and great selection, knowledgeable and friendly staff
Cons: Expensive!

I found PoB to be absolutely perfect. They have gorgeous dresses and Harriet was wonderful. If you end up buying your dress there, it will be expensive. Before going in I heard of a woman going in and saying her budget was 2,000; they treated her like dirt. I was turned off by this lack of respect for people, 2,000 is substantial to spend on a dress anyway. Unfortunately, it was the only place that sold the dress I wanted, so I ended up going in with low expectations and surprisingly leaving with higher ones. I would definitely recommend this salon if you know what you want. I'm sure if you're browsing and want to spend less than 3,000 you will feel somewhat of a bad vibe from the salespeople.
