By appointment only! This is a really small shop with one fitting room, and you come out onto the main space to see how dresses look on you (which would be really awkward with more people in the shop, imo). Hence, appointment only. The ladies who work here are sweet and accommodating. My consultant very considerately offered to take pictures of me wearing dresses from different angles, and wouldn't judge me at all, even asking if I was interested in wearing a bridesmaid dress for my wedding without batting an eye. She kindly provided me with information about the local alterations specialists and tailors in the area and answered all my questions patiently. Halfway through one fitting, another lady (also a shopkeeper) happened to come down from upstairs and kindly offered me a lower price for the dress I was then trying out than what my consultant was quoting at the moment. They also had a small amount of extras in stock- veils, ribbons, and cover-ups, which were nice to try on with dresses. That said, the selection here is extremely limited. Granted, all I looked at were wedding dresses that could be sold off the rack because of my impending wedding (a month and a half away), but even so, there were only so many- a mere 2 racks to choose from. On the other hand, these dresses could have been bought immediately and were relatively affordable. Given the nature of the dress search, however, it was rather disappointing to see how meager a selection was available here. Since they're a small shop, though, it's understandable that they wouldn't want to hold more stock than they can sell. It just doesn't offer brides many options. I'd come if you're short on time, or to snag a simple, affordable accessory, but it just didn't offer very much. 5-star service, though! These ladies were so sweet.
