50/50 – Very nice materials are used in these designer gowns. You need an apt on the week days. When I walked into the empty store on a Friday and told the first woman my name and that I had an appointment she was very nice helpful and told me the lay out of the store. Then another woman rudely came up to me and asked me if I had an appointment. So, their service was a bit disjointed. If you are looking for a designer gown, I would definitely check it out, but do not bank on it.

Great if you are a 'sample' size – The vast vast majority (I'd say 90%) of the dresses at Vows are the standard "6" sample size. You buy the dresses off the rack(room) here, so if you can't fit into sample sizes, it's probably not worth going. Their isn't much of a selection of their dresses that are size 8+, and the majority of those were more like size 22. That said, its an place worth experiencing, just don't go on a Saturday. You best bet is during the week, when they actually do take appointments. If you do go on a Satu... read more

overrated – Didn't really think prices were amazing (as rumored - "rackroom" seems to be overstating it), just less than full. Went on a Saturday, when they don't accept appointments and the process was a little crazy. Good selection of dresses, service was okay, but they didn't have the real eye for dress matching that other shops seem to have.

very nice staff, no pressure but helpful. know that the gowns haven't been cleaned yet and most are sample sixe 10, but can all be taken in if you're smaller. i would suggest going there having already determined what type of wedding dress looks good on your body type, as most dresses won't fit unless you're a 10 and you won't know what it will truly look like until after it's been altered. amazing markdowns, definatley check this place out for discount designer gowns.

Highly Recommend VOWS! – Vows was great! I knew I wanted to get a sample because I love designer gowns, but couldn't get one on my budget.. The prices were great- the lowest I had found.. and they had Vera Wangs and Moniques... I thought that the staff was very helpful and not pushy-at all. The woman I worked with had a ton of great ideas. They also include the cleaning and repairing of their gowns. My mom and I had a great experience there- I would definitely recommend that you check them out! I am planning on using their s... read more

I approached this place with some skepticism, but I was NOT disappointed. A much larger selection than I expected, with elegant designer dresses well-organized in categories (sheath, ball, a-line, etc). Staff was not snooty but very knowledgeable and helpful - who cares what they are wearing! As for the dresses being dirty - they are store samples which is why they are over 50% off. The store has a cleaning guarantee - they clean the dress for you and if it does not end up perfect, you get your deposit back. A great resource... read more

Sloppy service and a dirty dress – There was little that was appealing about the 'designer' bridal outlet. Aside from the Vera Wang gowns, the dresses were plain and over priced. The system of changing rooms and choosing dresses was extremely disorganized resulting in misplaced dresses. The staff was less than helpful, inexperienced, and dressed like cheap mall store clerks, as opposed to designer handlers. Not to mention the dresses were absolutely filthy. Were they white or gray? I couldn't tell because they were so handle... read more
