South's Specialty Clothiers

ause they could have sold it. In 7 days... They give small local stores a bad reputation... sad to take advantage of our young people. Maybe a call to the local newspaper or television station would get the to simply do the "right" thing... sad people don't remember how to do that anymore.

ings was equally special, as they gave the same attention to my bridesmaids. We also ordered the tuxes for the groomsmen from South's. He was as happy with the great personal service as I was. We have recommended them to our friends and would use them again for formal wear.

s in almost always in a different file. We had to go back several times to pay the remaining deposit because even when they finally could find our file their ancient computer system wasn't working. Even though they told us they would call us when the suits were in, it took us giving them a call to find out they were in -- this is after I was told I would receive a call back and was hung up on. When the suits did come in the sizes were so inaccurate that the father of the bride and groom and to send them back and/or get another suit. The groomsmen received alterations elsewhere with a lady who used to do alterations for South's and she had one horror story after another about South's. All in all, save your energy, your time and your patience. Go anywhere else, and I'm sure the experience will be better. I am so glad I did not get my dress here.

South's I found my dress that day. I ordered it, they called me as soon as it walked in the door and have been excellent with helping the bridesmaids, trying the dress on, literately when ever I want to, and have gave me so much advice. They are truly the best bridal store in the high country, and are local people who have been around for many years. The staff are so organized, anytime I call about anything they know exactly how to help, in a timely manner. I looked through some of the other poor reviews, and I dont see how any of that is true! They are all great in the store. Brides, look no further, just go to Souths and save you and your bridal party a lot of time!

em! Janet also does wonderful alterations! (Wouldn't trust anyone else to do them!) Definitely worth the trip to Boone!

rms up and the bottom and I "had" to use their alteration lady because I could have done it myself but they wouldn't let me) and the bride had picked it up for me when it was "finished" because I live hours away. So on the day of the wedding I put my dress on and relieze NOTHING has been altered on my dress and not enough time to fix it. So do not go here. They will take your money and treat you like crap.

and it was a week before my friends wedding, no call! She even called to check and they told her it wasn't there. Turns out it had come in a month before and no one had called me or her AND she had paid for the shipping already plus it was paid in full. Due to the extremely poor service, bad attitude, and obvious crappy management I had to have my dress rushed at an alterations place just days before my friends wedding. This was completely avoidable and the staff NEVER ONCE APOLOGIZED. The epitome of rude. STAY AWAY!!!!!

hard time finding my name. Every time I called about the bridesmaid dresses I got a different answer. First I was told 5 out of 8 dresses came in and I explained that 6 of them should be in because they were the same style. They finally found the 6th one in the back. Then I called about the other 2 dresses several times and they told me that they had already been sent out however my bridesmaids did not receive them so I called back and was accused of never calling. When prying deeper they told me that they received the dresses 2 weeks prior and had not sent them out and I had not received notification that they were even in. One of my bridesmaids was in the process of moving so since they had not sent them out yet I asked them to hold on to her dress so I could pick it up. When my husband went to get it the next day they could not find it. When they finally found it the dress still had a note saying that it needed to be sent out. Their filing system is very unorganized and the customer service is very poor. My mother, husband, and all 8 of my bridesmaids had a terrible experience. One of my bridesmaids called several times about her dress and they told her it was sent out. When she didn't receive the dress she called back a week later they said "I don't know why this wasn't sent out it has a note on it to send it." So 3 of my bridesmaids had to have their dresses altered the week of my wedding because they did not send the dresses out when they got them in their store. It was a big headache for me and my 8 bridesmaids. I was very glad that I did not order my wedding dress from them. And instead of apologizing they basically told us that we had not done what we say that we did. They made this happy and joyous time into a terrible experience. I would never recommend them to anyone!

trying on gowns and I never felt rushed. I found my dream gown and it was under budget. They helped me with alterations and stored my dress until the big day.

of bridal gowns. Lori was wonderful and offered several helpful suggestions. I had a very difficult time trying to decide between two gorgeous gowns. The turn around time on the dress (from ordering to arrival at the store) was a little long, but worth the wait. The woman who does alterations offered to do them overnight so that I could have the dress ready that weekend. The value was exceptional (both my dress and veil were just under 2,000) and everyone was so freindly. I was also able to make custom changes to the dress and the veil. I would highly recommend this store. I got numerous complients on the gown, and felt spectacular in it!

anticipated. All in all, it was a great experience!
