Classy Consignments

This was my first wedding dress shopping stop in the Twin Cities (I’d been to one other place in Milwaukee). I’ve driven by it many times before as it’s very close to my grandma’s, but never been inside before. I had a relatively low (as in less than 1k) budget, so I figured consignment was probably a better bet than a traditional shop.
I spotted a dress from the window display that I loved immediately. The ladies there helped me find a few dresses and I liked that my mom and I were able to pick some out ourselves as well. They weren’t pushy and didn’t force things that didn’t work. Their selection is surprisingly decent and if you’re after vintage, ask for their attic dresses. I finally asked about the dress in the window and luckily it was in my size. It was gorgeous, everything I wanted (lacey, not poofy, not strapless) and less than half the price of what it would’ve retailed for, plus it fit great!
Much as I loved the window dress, I didn’t feel I could say yes to it right away as it was my first stop. The rest of the day I had a less than stellar experience as The Wedding Shoppe and a pretty decent experience at Bride to Be Consignment, but nothing stood out quite as much as the window dress.
I couldn’t get that dress out of my mind so a week later I called them to see if they still had it. They did but someone else had asked to put it on hold. Since they couldn’t hold it (being a consignment shop) they said if I came it it was mine if I wanted it. I returned by myself, tried it on again and bought it. Super easy, smooth experience with no pressure.

We found my daughter’s prom dress here and we love this shop! The prices are affordable and the staff was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be going there again!

I love this store! The consultants were wonderful to work with, try helped me select my bridal gown (I had about 7 to try on). No pressure from them at all! They even have a layaway program!
They have a huge inventory of bridal and also every day clothes, I do wish that they could expand because of the huge selection of inventory it makes it difficult to walk around without feeling like your going to knock something down.
I will recommend to future brides!

Wow. Dresses galore. If you need a fancy party dress or a wedding dress this the place to go. Hundreds of both. The regular clothing area is a little too packed for my tastes although they do have markers on the hangers for the sizes which is nice. The whole store is in an old house which I always think is cool. I will definately give this store another visit.
