I went to the Rush's 50% off sale the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend. It was disappointing to say the least. I'm an average sized woman- according to survey's the average size of a woman is a 14 these days- and I tend to fall between a 12 and 14 currently.
Since it was a sample sale- all instock gowns 50% off the regular purchase price- not many of the in stock dresses were even close to fitting. Those gowns that were in my size- were the same old same old. Very traditional- which if that's what you like- this would have been great for you. For me though- not so much. There was also lots of a-symmetrical rouching- so if you like that style- again, you missed out.
While I was trying on gowns I could overhear the sales people saying "All but one person has bought a dress today". For me- this was not a point of persuasion. The "everyone else is doing it" persuasion point has not been most effective on me. I was turned off. I left, empty handed and was fine with that.
The other women there seemed to fit more into the gown sample sizes. I was told when I scheduled the appointment that they had dresses of all sizes available. This was somewhat deceitful I feel.
The sales girl helping me- Jennifer- was nice enough. However, I don't think I'll return. It's not because the sale wasn't as fruitful as I had hoped- but more because the viewing area was within your own dressing room and very dark. The selection of gowns was decent but not what I was looking for. Perhaps I would have felt differently about it if I was looking at the gowns based on order-ability and not restricted to size on the rack.
Perhaps.
