    Had a wonderful experience at The Sample Rack! The store was lovely with all of the dresses on the racks for you to look at and try on. My specialist, Gerardo, was very friendly, listened to my needs to help me find “The Dress!”

    I made an appt at the Sample Rack with intentions of just figuring out what I liked and didn’t like. This was my first time trying on wedding dresses and I didn’t know it would also be my last. I made this appt because my mom was in town for my engagement party and she wouldn’t be able to come here again until the wedding. I went in and had a wonderful experience with salesperson Bethany. She was more hands off and I really liked that. She never pushed a specific dress on me and everything was my call. Since this was my first time and I was a little bummed I wouldn’t get to go shopping a few more times she encouraged me to go to a few more shops that weekend and put the dress on hold. Unfortunately my weekend was booked and I couldn’t do that. I knew if I left that day I’d never stop chasing a duplicate of the dress I found there, so I bought the dress and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I am very impatiently waiting to wear my dress next year. Thank you Bethany!
