Dear Mr. Mike Simon:
I wanted to let you know about the excellent experience I had shopping at the East Room. I was buying a gown for my son’s upcoming wedding. I had been to several bridal shops and the department stores, just to see what was out there. The more I looked, the more I dreaded the experience. Yet, I dreamed of finding the perfect dress for the occasion. I wanted to look my best, and make my husband and son proud of me. He is our only child, and I wanted this shopping opportunity to be special. Well, it was! I decided to go to the East Room as my last stop, hoping it would have “my dress.” I have been shopping at all your shops for years. I have been avidly enjoying the window displays at the East Room for a long time now! After this disheartening look through the department stores and wedding shops, I had high hopes that the East Room would save me. I was not disappointed!
I had kind, expert, and experienced help from my sales assistant, Judy Blanchard. I tried on dresses at least twice, the second time bringing my husband for help in decision making. The shop arrangement with chairs, and mirrors makes trying on and “modeling” convenient and pleasant. Judy spent alot of time with me during all my visits. Her advice was valuable! I tried on many dresses, starting with the ones I liked. She guided me, and helped me to discern ones that were flattering to me.
When one is young and fit, it is easy to find a dress one looks great in. It is not so easy when one has acquired a few years, a few pounds, and a few figure flaws! Judy was very patient. She gave me her time, put me at ease, and made me feel confident. She helped me find my dream dress. Slimming, and in a flattering color. Judy gave me advice regarding foundation garments and accessories. With her expert assistance, I eventually bought shoes, an evening bag, and jewelry at the East Room to complete my outfit. Two of these items she special ordered in the size or color I needed, which I really appreciated.
During my visits, everyone was always helpful and nice. I received many useful suggestions from all the expert staff there. The seamstress, I am sorry I forgot her name, had excellent ideas. When I got the choice down to two dresses, she explained to me which one would be more flattering to my figure. I look forward to picking up my completed dress. I am sure it will be wonderful.
I now feel confident about the wedding. And after it, I will ask the seamstress to shorten my dress to wear again and again!
In these trying times, I realize that I could have spent a lot less buying a dress online or at a department store. But I don’t regret it a bit—-this dress was worth every penny. I never would have found “the perfect gown” and outfit without the expert and kind assistance I received from Judy and the highly professional staff at The East Room.
Thank you!
Mary
