I heart Nordstrom. Let me just get that off my chest from the get-go. I had never been before, but a friend told me they had a decent collection of reception dresses (so, short dresses), so I made an appointment. A few days before the appointment, the saleswoman called me to chat about what I was looking for, what my style is, what kind of budget I was looking for, that sort of thing. And not only was English her primary language (praise the Lord--I'm sorry, but it really does help), but she was completely nice! Even when I told her my budget (which is not large, and which could very easily be grounds for a place like Nordstrom deciding that I am not worth their time and/or that I should be sneered at as often as possible).
But the lady was totally nice, and when I arrived, she had like six dresses pulled for me, and three pairs of shoes, and some accessories. She offered us bottled water (sparkling or still), and was pretty much just super sweet and helpful the whole time. She even pulled out an iPad to google petticoat vendors (since she wasn't sure they could add petticoats there).
Anyway, the dress they had fit me, but only barely, so I ordered it a size larger--it should arrive in 8-10 business days (yay!), and then I will go in and get fitted for alterations (or, you know, decide I don't like it that much after all and send it back).
The best part? Since it's essentially just a white silk (silk!) party dress, I got it for less than $200. That's more like it.
