"I bought an evening gown for my daughter’s wedding, and I was delighted that it fit and I liked it!  Your service was quick, and I really appreciate it.  Thank you." --Cornelia

"My pleasure. I received 'Emma', Style # 28819 It is a beautiful, elegant top. I gave your website to my friends. I received the merchandise in perfect condition and very soon after I ordered it. I will use your website again. I am from New York."

"Your service was very prompt. The dress I ordered is very beautifully made and fit nicely. Thanks…"
--Janet, Virginia

"my name is rita from NY.  i purchased an evening dress and the service was great. thanks for your help."

"Karin from CT says...   I love my outfit! I wore Amber to a local gala and got rave reviews! Thank you so much for your ease of ordering, and exchanging!  (I ordered the wrong size the first time around!)  I will definitely come back next year for my gala dress!

"My shopping experience could not have been more pleasant.  My dress arrived quickly, and even though I decided to change colors, the service was wonderful.  The second dress arrived in time and was exactly what I had in mind.  The dress is lovely, although a bit heavy. Thank you so much for such fast service.  It was truly appreciated."
--Ellen, California

"I have been so pleased with The Evening Store that I waned to respond. I was hesitant to order a dress on line for my son's wedding . After countless days searching for the right dress I spotted 'Monica' on line and knew that was the dress for me. After ordering the dress it was delivered and I had difficulty with the zipper. I thought to myself oh-no what have I gotten myself into. I called and spoke directly with Barry and he assured me this does not usually happen. He would send me another dress immediately. That new dress came within days with a perfect zipper. I sent back the first dress and am looking forward to enjoying our my son's upcoming wedding."
-- Jan, Ohio

Hi Barry. WOW, you are simply the BEST!  Shopping your store reminded me of the old days when the customer came first, and I was online shopping! You were always available for any questions by phone and email.  You kept me notified through the entire process.  You were always helpful, courteous and professional.  Your customer service at The Evening Store makes finding that special something to wear online an enjoyable and confident experience. Customer service is key and that’s what its all about."
--Barbara, Myrtle Beach, SC

"I cannot say enough about The Evening Store.com!!! Barry, you were absolutely helpful and fantastic. I ordered 6 gowns--not for sure about the sizes and you sent 2 of each. I ended up with the Tamara that made me feel absolutely beautiful!!! NO wasted shopping and so easy to send the others back! What great customer service!! I've told all my friends about it! Thank you!"
--Dorothy, Holden MO

 "Hello Barry. I just opened the box containing the Paris gown I ordered on Sunday.  It is so  beautiful!!  Even more so than I expected!!  I feel confident that I'll have no problem getting the length shortened for my 5'2" height.  Thank you so much for the super fast shipping and fantastic gown!! I can't wait to wear it in June for my son's wedding. Thanks again and I look forward to doing more business with you in the future!"
-- Dale, Heflin, Alabama

"My name is Julia, from Luton, England. I purchased your item Cindy. I am really very pleased with my purchase. Your web site is excellent and really a pleasure to use, your customer service also was so very helpful both over the phone and per email and again very very pleased with your product. Your company deserves every success Kind regards."
--Julia

"Thanks so much for quickly confirming my order and then sending it out immediately.  I haven't had such wonderful customer service in so long (can't remember when!) .The 'Amber' dress is simply elegant and I am looking forward to wearing it to my son's wedding this month.  This will be a very special occasion in many ways and I will feel just as special in my lovely gown. Sincerely."
Melanie

"Good day Barry ~ I am VERY pleased with the gown I purchased from the Evening Store!  It fits like a glove so I am please that your sizes run true.  It's lovely and the price is just right. I have recommended your web site to my friends. Also, the delivery time was most expedient ! Thank you ~"
--Karen

"I really liked the service that you provided. I especially appreciated the fast and courteous way that you responded when I needed to exchange the dress that you sent for a larger size."
--Wanda, KY

"I can't say enough about your Customer Service and how you handled my needs.  I thought that Amber would be a perfect Mother of the Bride dress but I was concerned for a coupled of reasons.  I was in between sizes to begin with and was on the fence as to which way to go regarding size and how the gown was supposed to fit and how I wanted it to fit.  Your return process is the best I have ever seen and simplified everything.  You worked with me and were very patient until I was in a gown that I was comfortable wearing.  Amber is now with a tailor who it taking the shoulder arm areas up a tad.  She said the beadwork would not be difficult to work with either!!  The gown is beautiful!!!  I cannot thank you enough for all of your help and patience!!  I will be back for any future formal dress needs and will recommend your site to all of my friends! Thanks again!
--Lorrie, Illinois

"This is the first time that I have ever had a vendor deliver as promised.  I received my beaded gown when I returned home this evening.  UPS left it on my front porch.  THE GOWN IS SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!  I will most definitely be purchasing more gowns from you in the future. I have one question that I hope you will respond to ASAP.  I purchased the Tammara gown that has the full flowing skirt bottom. I did not mention it in my order, but it is Derby time here in Louisville (Kentucky Derby).   I purchased the gown to wear to the Grand Gala...which is a star-studded, celebrity-attended formal Gala.  My question is....is there any way to get the wrinkles out of the skirt portion of the dress.  I want to wear it on Saturday night.  Any suggestions you can provide would be most helpful. Thank you again for a beautiful gown that fits my 2x body very well. 
--Frances

"I had a positive experience. I could not face going into a store, trying on dresses. The lady on the phone ensured I was ordering the right size and options for change if the dress was too big or too small. Thank you so so much. I really love my dress and looking forward to wearing it to my daughter's wedding." 
--Ruth, Arizona

"Good Morning! I was very pleased with the dress (Natalia).  The quality, color, and appearance are great.  I especially like the way it feels when it’s on - very comfortable.  I haven’t worn it yet for the event but the few who have seen it tried - on or ‘on the hanger’ have had great comments about it.  The only alteration it needed (and this was solely because I wanted it) was to shorten it a few inches so it would be more of a tea length gown on me." 
--Fran,OK 

" I love the dress!"
--Lori

"Hi, I purchased the Natalia dress and a pashima shawl.  I was extremely happy with the overnight delivery (it was a last minute plan) and the quality of the products.  I knew my shawl would not be the same color as the dress (mint green and seafoam green) but still took a chance and ordered it.  It would have been nice to have an ivory or neutral color to order (I can’t do black – I have animals who like to shed a lot!).  Overall I am very happy with your website and will definitely keep it in mind for the future.  I have my eye on another item!" 
--Heidi 

"I am very pleased with the stunning black sequin evening top that I recently ordered.  The product quality is high, and the ease of ordering was remarkable.  I wore the dressy top to a black tie dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York in early May, and felt very elegant.  I will definitely order again from 'TheEveningStore'."
--Devon,  New Jersey

March 2008

"Barry: Just wanted to let everyone know that I feel that the gown that I purchased from you was not only well made and beautiful  but was also a absolute bargain!!! I am absolutely delighted with this gown."
--Louise, Floral Park

"As per our conversation earlier, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the dress, your prices, quality and service. If anything, it is too dressy since I am only the Aunt (albeit a close one) to the bride, however, in this dress, I am sure the pictures will be memorable. Thank you again. Your satisfied customer in Plainview."
--Mary

"I just opened the box containing the Paris gown I ordered on Sunday.  It is so beautiful!!  Even more so than I expected!!  I feel confident that I'll have no problem getting the length shortened for my 5'2" height.  Thank you so much for the super fast shipping and fantastic gown!! I can't wait to wear it in June for my son's wedding. Thanks again and I look forward to doing more business with you in the future!"
--Dale. Heflin, Alabama

"Hi Barry. Thank you very much for your service! Do you usually send two sizes to your customers??? It was very nice of you. Definitely, my size was the S. I even need to make some alterations...! I haven't even tried on the M. I will return to you the M size on Monday, by USPS. The dress is wonderful and everybody loved it! I am a pianist, and I played for the first time with orchestra yesterday, wearing it, of  course... Tomorrow I have another performance. I'll send you a picture! Thank you again!"
--Marta

"Hi Barry. I would just like to tell you, I was impressed with you the first time I spoke to you.  They say that a person’s attitude can come through the phone and they are right.  The way you handle yourself over the phone makes it feel as if you are there with the person.  Bravo!!  I ordered the dress entitled Amber and it is beautiful.  The offer to send out another size, before I decide, was amazing and truly remarkable in this day and age.  I didn’t take you up on it but to have that offered was wonderful. Thank you from a very satisfied customer in Canada."
--Coreen

"I want to thank you and everyone at The Evening Store for their excellent customer service in helping make my upcoming event, my son's wedding, a happy experience. I have looked everywhere for my Mother of the Groom dress and have been unsuccessful.  I saw your web site and the dress AMBER and fell in love with it. It is more beautiful in real than on the web site.  Thank you for the extra attention you have shown me by shipping me a larger dress when you told me I would not need it and you were right.  The one I order will work perfect for the wedding.  Thank you so very much for your everything."
--Terry, Illinois

"I have just opened the package of stunning dresses from The Evening Store.  One of them will be mailed back this week BUT, the difficulty is which to choose!!  They are gorgeous and just as pictured.  I wish the mint-colored gown also came in ecru but I may decide to wear it instead of the white.  Ah, such is life!! Your customer service in this instance is a grand selling tool as some women may choose to keep both.  My life, at present, does not call for a lot of formality.  But, in future, should a need arise for this type of evening wear, I will be sure to refer my friends to your website and will shop from it again myself without hesitation."

"Thank you so much for your prompt and efficient service.  We have a family business with personal service and appreciate others who are doing a similar job!  I am looking forward to wearing this dress at my son's wedding on July 4th.  There were no online shops in the UK with anything to compare.  I shall recommend your company especially to our American customers from Menwith Hill which is just 7 miles from here.  As a result we have many American customers and friends.  Your website is easy to use and has good graphics, I just found the sizing charts a little confusing but I am 60 next year so perhaps it's my age ......Best wishes."
--Chrissie

"My mom waited until the last minute to get a dress for my wedding.  Many places did not even carry her size.  I was panicked.  When I came across your website I finally felt relieved! The website setup was fairly user friendly.  It could use a little work.  It was plain but did the trick.  A small price to pay for the utmost in care and speed.  The pictures of the dresses were better than any other site for clarity and size.  The site could use a better setup for the shopping cart that gives you your totals. The dress is gorgeous.  You carried hard to find sizes.  You proved that just because a woman is heavy she can still find gorgeous formal wear! When I ordered my mom's dress on Thursday, I was impressed to get a phone call not a minute later to let me know that with two day shipping there are no weekend deliveries.  No other company would do that.  The return policy is more than generous.  Best part was the dress arrived Friday - just the next day.  I didn't know companies existed that shipped that soon after ordering. In today's busy times and our last minute wedding push you brought me some much needed sanity.  Keep up the great work!! Sincerely."
--Kristine, Pennsylvania

"Just to let you know that the dress has arrived safely here in sunny North Yorkshire.  I am delighted with both dresses and very impressed with your service.  I wore the pink dress on Saturday night when we went out to dinner for our 22nd wedding anniversary and had many very nice compliments. I should have asked you to send any promotional leaflets or flyers especially for our American customers.  If you have anything like that you could always send them on or if they are on your computer I could print them off here. If you have any friends or relations in the UK who enjoy wine we have a website southaustralianwines.com or we can take orders and payments over the phone.  It can be very handy for Xmas or birthday presents.  We do stock world wines, not just South Australia. Once again many thanks, I will return!"
--Chrissie

"BARRY I REALLY APPRECIATE THE EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE I RECEIVED.  TIME WAS NOT ON MY SIDE WHEN I CALLED AND SPOKE TO YOUR SALESPERSON.  I NEEDED TO SEE IF YOUR DRESSES RAN BIG OR SMALL.  I COULD NOT DECIDE ON WHAT SIZE TO GET AND SHE STATED SINCE I WAS IN SUCH A RUSH SHE WOULD SEND BOTH SIZES AND I COULD SEND THE ONE THAT DID NOT FIT BACK.  THIS WAS GREAT!  I WAS SOOO GLAD TO HAVE AN OPTION.  I ORDERED THE TAMARRA IN NAVY.  IT IS NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS THE BELLE OF THE BALL.  I WAS GORGEOUS IF I MUST SAY SO MYSELF LOL,  AND I OWE IT ALL TO THE EVENINGSTORE.COM.  I WILL REFER ALL OF MY FEMALE FRIENDS AND FAMILY.  THANKS AGAIN BARRY YOU HAVE A LOYAL CUSTOMER IN ME."
--ROSHELLE

" I ordered 'Natalia' to wear to my daughter's wedding.  It arrived here in Western Canada just a week after I placed the order and I'm thrilled with it.  Everyone, especially the bride, says it's just perfect, and the seamstress I took it to for alterations (shoulder and sleeves) said it is very well made.  Have recommended your site to some of the wedding guests.  Thanks so much!"
--Kathy, Victoria, Canada

"Hello. I couldn't be happier with my experience with 'The Evening Store'.  My first gown was too small, but I was able to return it, without any problem what so ever.  The next size I got was just right, it is beautiful.  I purchased the gown for my first grandson's  wedding, but I plan to go on lot's of cruises, and it will be just right for dinning with the Captain on that special night.  I will get a lot of wears out of this gown.  Thank you for having larger sizes for larger women like me.  It is usually hard for me to find anything that is really pretty in the larger sizes. Sincerely."
--Jeanette

"Hello. I apologize for not sending an email earlier.  I wanted to let you know that I loved the dress I ordered.  The size is perfect, and I received it remarkably fast. I was very happy with the whole process. Once again thank you very much. Regards."
--Anna

"Your company is like no other I have found while looking for a mother's dress for my son's wedding.  My future daughter-in-law says the dress is prettier on than it even looked on your website.  The dress came within the timeframe promised and I have nothing but praise to say for your customer service.  I do wish you offered petite sizes, as my tea-length dress is actually floor length on my 5 foot, 2 inch body!!  But it still looks great!  As my diet continues with success, I am hoping to exchange for a smaller size before the end of June and I am sure it will be hassle free, as you promise.  I purchased the 'Natalia' formal wear, in a light mint color and I am so-o-o-o pleased.  Thank you for taking a lot of stressful shopping out of my life.  Sincerely."
-- Debbie, Montana

"Great service and the dress is great!"
--Michelle,  Pennsylvania 

"Your customer service was second to none.  I love my Natalia dresses and will be buying more.  Your website is very clear and easy to navigate, the photos were a bit misleading as the colour looked a lot lighter than the real thing but I know it is difficult to get this right in a photograph.  I couldn't believe how quickly these items were delivered  ... not once, but twice!!  Thank you so much.  I am really confident now that I shall look stunning on my son's wedding day and you can appreciate how important that is."
--Chrissie, England

"Hi Barry. I truly love the dress JENNA that I purchased for my daughters wedding!!! I was wondering if you had a Bolero type jacket that I could purchase to go with it instead of the shawl? I checked the site under accessories but I didn't see anything that I liked. Thanks."
--Donna

"I Received REALLY GREAT SERVICE. Barry you know your dresses. I would love to see some plus size models over size 20 in your dresses. The dresses and shirts that are more fitted I would love to to see in larger then a 4X, or offer them as a custom order for larger sizes like me. I would be happy to pay for something I like. I actually kept 2 dresses, the Merrell and  Debbie."
--Doris

"I love the service, the dress is perfect.  this was my first time ordering on line and the dress (Amber) was better than  i expected. thanks."
--Joan, Creston Illinois 

"Hi. I like your web site, dresses and your customer service was excellent." 
--Ellen, Florida 

"I spoke w/ you on the phone once. I received my dress told several  and was happy it fit. No need for alterations. I have told several friends of your site. One strange thing. When I hung dress back up both strings that hold dress in place broke. I have never seen this before. I am looking forward to my granddaughter's wedding, knowing I will have a beautiful dress. Thanks."
--Patricia

"Dear Barry,,,from the moment I talked to Stuart on the phone I felt very lucky to have found your store online. I ordered two dresses to choose from and picked Natalia....what a wonderful mother of the bride dress. Its very comfortable but at the same time very stunning!! I had to re-order the dress in a larger size but Stuart assured me it was no problem and shipped the new dress out the next day. My only wish is for your store to also sell shoes..then my problems would be over...Thank you again for all the help I received..it was much appreciated!"
--Patti, Canada

"The service and the product was fantastic, better than I would have hoped for.  I had a 'black tie' event to attend with 2 weeks notice and nothing to wear.  Gee I bet that’s new.  Anyway, I ordered a dress from your website and one from another website (just in case).  Loved your dress and decided to wear it to the event.  My husband made the choice, after viewing both on, said the dress from the Evening Store was the best and probably the cheapest too (he said this sarcastically as this one looked much more expensive).  Actually this dress was ½ the cost of the other dress so he was even more in favor of The Evening Store dress. Thank you." 
--Cheryl, CA

"I recently ordered a Plus Size dress from The Evening Store, the navy blue Monica.  The dress is beautiful and runs true to the sizing chart.  Thanks so much for making these beautiful gowns available to those of us that aren't 'super models' -- but just want to look like them!  You're the best!"
--Kay, Tacoma WA

 "I will add my favorable comments to your web site.  Thank you again for all of your help.  Our only son is getting married very soon  and I have found myself very anxious.  I love the girl, but he is my baby.  The dress is great.  I will feel comfortable and appropriate."
--Patty, South Carolina

 "I love my silver dress and duster... got lots of compliments on it on Sat. Will send back the pink one tomorrow.  Thanks and keep up the great line of beautiful clothes. Sincerely."
--Cathy

February 2008

"The Monica dress I ordered was more gorgeous than I thought it would be.  The only problem was the size, so I called immediately after I received it to order a different size.  Barry told me to keep the first one til the second one came and see which one was better.  Who else does that??!! I had been shopping for a MOB dress in a plus size and the web site had so many choices.  I'm so glad I ran across it."
--Donna,Texas

"I was very pleased with your service. The dress that I ordered was delivered in several days. It was as it was pictured on the Internet. Thanks.  I would recommend you to any of my friends who ask"
--Byrle

"I am a human resources director in a bank, so I have read lots of material and had a lot of training on customer service.  I don’t believe I have ever experienced better or more personable service than I received in every single interaction with The Evening Store. Even though it was all on the Internet and by phone, I felt like friends were personally helping me choose which dress to wear. When I need this type of dress again, I will undoubtedly use your services to get the perfect one."
 --Debbie, Sullivan, MO

"I have enjoyed working with the people at the Evening Store. They have been very accommodating and I will work with them again if the need arises."
-- Nancy, Louisiana

"Barry: I loved my dress and the service.  It came quickly and was exactly as represented.  I would order from you again."
--Kathy

"Hi, Barry--I sent you an email shortly after receiving the two dresses I bought--Cindy and Amber, praising you and your company. Haven't worn either yet, but Amber will be my MOB dress for a late March wedding. I originally ordered Cindy, which was back ordered. So I ordered Amber, thinking I would return Cindy. They both arrived within a few days of one another.  They fit perfectly, needed no alterations. Needless to say I have kept both. I won't be as beautiful as the bride, but I won't look too shabby either. I recommended your site to a friend for her son's February wedding. Thank you for everything and for selling such beautiful clothing."
--Suzanne, Louisiana

"I really cannot put into words how wonderful your facility is.  I was at the point of total depression trying to find a 'plus-size' dress for a symphony ball.  When I stumbled upon your company - I thought it was 'too good to be true'. I had gone to another facility first.....IT WAS HORRIBLE.  The dresses were not sized appropriately......they refused to take it back......they were rude and hostile.  I was charged $380.00 for a dress that I cannot use.  It is still in the package with the tags on it because I can's use it nor will I ever. When I found you - I couldn't believe that you were so easy to work with.  I received my first dress that I requested......I had ordered the Tamara dress.....it was too tight....I called you the next morning and you told me not to worry - that you would ship another dress in a larger size immediately.  Not only did you ship that dress - you also sent the Amber dress too because I wasn't sure which dress I truly wanted.  When I told you that I hadn't shipped the small dress back to you yet - you told me not to worry.....you would ship the others anyway.  Once I was satisfied with the dress I wanted - I could return the other two. You followed-up with me to make sure that I was happy with my selection and the fit. Because of your quality of garment - I have to admit that I was stunning in that gown.  I honestly felt beautiful. Thank you so much for making a symphony ball turn from a nightmare into a dream come true.  I have told everyone I know about your company and have been told in return that in the future - they will go to your website when they need formal clothing. Barry - you are a true gem and your way of doing business in not seen very often these days.  It's nice to know that there are true gentlemen still around. I LOVE YOU ALL................"
--Teresa - Amarillo, Texas

"I found the perfect dress for my Son's wedding at TheEveningStore.com. I chose 'Dolly' in light blue and it is exactly what the picture and description says it is.  The customer service was wonderful and I look forward to ordering again in the future.  Thank you for Everything."
--Sue, Texas, USA

"Thanks for the opportunity to say how much I appreciate the fast service on the dress I ordered for my daughters wedding. When the first one did not fit I called and they sent the smaller size immediately. The new one came just as fast and fits great."
--Sue from PA

 "The dress was beautiful.  It was everything I had hoped for.  I myself was once a customer service manager and I have never seen better service from anyone than I did from your company.  I will tell everyone to visit your website."
--Anita

"When I first started my search for the perfect dress to wear to my son's wedding I fell in love with your Amber dress. I have always like that style of dress, especially the long jacket. Well, to make a long story short, I should have just ordered that dress way back at the beginning of my search. I ordered other dresses from other websites and after receiving them found that they didn't really look as nice as they looked on their websites. I finally just gave in and ordered the Amber dress when I saw the picture of Conchatta Ferrell wearing it on your website. Although the dress looked very pretty on the nice thin model, unfortunately, I am a larger size and it was difficult for me to imagine how the dress would look on a woman with a larger frame. It was so flattering on Conchatta that I ordered it.  I am so happy that I did. I feel so beautiful and elegant in this dress and can't wait for the 'Big Day'. I feel so confident that I have chosen the perfect mother of the groom dress. I would recommend your store to anyone looking for a beautiful dress and a company that is extremely helpful, courteous and professional. Thank you so much for this extremely pleasant experience."
--Mary, New Jersey

"Hello Barry. I found your website while trawling the internet looking for evening gowns for larger ladies. There are so few available in the United Kingdom and we bigger gals like to look good too! I liked the look of what I saw on your website and took a chance (I've not ordered from U.S. before).  I ordered Amber. Well, it arrived yesterday (well within a week of ordering) and I tried it on immediately and I am very impressed.  I look and feel 'like a million dollars'. I know, when I wear it next week to that important dinner, that I will be asked where I found such a lovely dress and I will be very happy to tell them about your website. I shall be back again."
--Shirley, England

"Just wanted to let you know how much I love the two dresses I ordered, (58064 Sally and 4640 Elena).  They are both gorgeous and I feel like a million bucks in them.  The prompt service and delivery was fantastic.  Thanks again."
--Linda, Alberta, Canada 

December 2007 - January, 2008

"Your service was excellent and the dress fit perfectly! i received many compliments on it and was asked where i got it by several people. Beautiful dress. it was a navy blue dress with beading on the top and a low scoop neckline. gorgeous." 
--terri, USA

"I ordered a lovely sequined evening top which was absolute perfect for me. I ordered a skirt as well, but it didn't fit quite right, so I had to return it. However, the communications about delivery and the credit information was really impressive. I hope to order from here again."
--Catherine, LA, USA

"Barry. I am glad you sent this email.  I had planned to send you one about my dress.  The Mardi Gras ball was last Saturday evening and my gown was GORGEOUS.  I plan to order another one when I need it.  That one is going to be RED.  The fit was wonderful and comfortable and I received lots of compliments on it. Your customer service was excellent because I had to return my original purchase because of the size, however before I could get it returned, you sent the new one. I call that a lot of trust and confidence. I have told a lot of my friends about your web site. I highly recommend the EveningStore.com."
--Cynthia, Slidell, La

"Dear Evening Store. The dress I ordered was even greater than the web page showed it to be.  Very good service. I would encourage everyone who is in need of a beautiful dress to order from the Evening Store. Thanks for everything."
--Billye, Texas

"Hi. I'm Virginia from Florida.  I ordered the Dolly dress for my daughter's wedding and it is beautiful.  Just so people will know, it was a tiny bit larger than I thought but that just meant I didn't have to lose any weight. We haven't had the wedding yet but I can't wait to wear it. It arrived in about five days and I like the note you sent about returning it or getting another one sent out right away if this one wasn't just right. That's very important that that kind of a dress is just right. Thanks."
Virginia, FL

--Billye, Texas

"Purchased a gown for my daughter's wedding -- it was spectacular.....no problems with the order or the merchandise....will recommend you to everyone I know."

"The most exceptional customer service I have found anywhere .. starting with pre-purchase assistance with style and sizing, super quick delivery and superior quality of product.  More companies could take lessons from The Evening Store, I will certainly be back for my next special occasion."
--Judy, Brisbane Australia

" I had GREAT customer service and the dress and blouse I ordered were beautiful. Barry was very helpful!"
--Saundra, Baton Rouge, LA

"Hi:. I'd love to comment on my experience with your company...  I would rate the whole experience, EXCELLENT. I love the dress. It arrived when you said it would, and it's gorgeous.  I will definitely use your site in the future. Regards."
--Jackie, Rancho Cucamonga, CA

"Good Morning! The dress I ordered was beautiful and I received many, many compliments! Your customer service is absolutely wonderful. Barry worked with me being that I was trying to choose between two dresses. He was very helpful and very nice. I will definitely order from your company again! The web site is easy to maneuver through and the photos of your products are clear and show great detail. I will also be recommending you to my friends. Thank You!"
--Nina, Virginia

"Your service was excellent and the dress fit perfectly! i received many compliments on it and was asked where i got it by several people. Beautiful dress. it was a navy blue dress with beading on the top and a low scoop neckline. gorgeous."
--terri usa

"Barry. I was completely happy with my purchase. I bought a tea length navy blue dress--a chiffon skirt with a sparkly top. I don't remember the name of it. The size was good. I thought the quality was very good. As I had never ordered this type of garment on the internet, I was rather apprehensive about it.  However, it arrived as advertised.  It was well packed. I let it hang out and the garment really required no pressing. I think the price was fair for the quality.You made the experience easy in terms of ordering and getting this in time for my event."
--Barb, Chicago, IL

" I went to your web site and found the perfect dress for my daughter's wedding. I don't usually shop on-line but when I saw the dress I just had to have it. You seemed genuinely interested in helping me which made me feel comfortable ordering by phone. I would definitely recommend your store to others!"
--Linda, Florida

"My daughter was married on January 12. I knew what I wanted my dress to look like as well as the colors. I found your site from a Google search and I was shocked to find exactly what I was looking for. I ordered Natalia in mint green. It arrived in 3 days exactly as you promised. The dress was beautiful and looked far more expensive than it was! I did have to have it altered but that was very easy for the seamstress to make it a perfect fit. I would definitely recommend your site to anyone! The pictures turned out beautiful and I can't tell you all the compliments I received on my dress. Thank you for helping to make this day perfect."

"I have ordered 2 dresses from Barry. The first one was the Alisha, I wore it to my high school reunion and it was BEAUTIFUL!! I ordered it in black.  The second dress was the Colette. It was my wedding dress (2nd time around) and it was absolutely beautiful! The beading on the bodice and sleeves is so pretty. The bottom half of the dress flowed with me as I walked. It was perfect.  I can't say enough good about Barry's customer service. I was not sure about the sizing so he shipped me the Colette in two sizes, was charged only for the one I kept and it fit perfectly. I will definitely order from Barry again whenever I need another special occasion dress. Thank you Barry!!"
--Angie, California

"Hi Barry. I purchased a Monica dress, and it arrived within days and in good shape. I appreciated the full directions included if it needed altered or returned - which it didn't. Since the wedding I bought it for is a few months away, I'm yet to know how it will go over, but the bride liked it on me, and she's the one I was trying to please.  Thanks for having large sizes and good quality."
--Cindy, Ohio

"Barry – sorry – I ordered shoes yesterday. I LOVE MY DRESS. I LOVE YOUR WEB SITE. I have nothing negative to say – you were wonderful to work with! (I AM JUST A LITTLE FRAZZLED WITH THE WEDDING, ETC.,"
--Becky, UT

"The service and response has been superb. I had a minor problem with the gown I received, made a phone call and the problem was rectified immediately. By the way, the dress is beautiful."
--Mary, Montana, USA

"Hi. Your customer service was terrific. I have told many people about how helpful you all were -- and I had several opportunities to test your service !!  First I made an error placing my original order which you all corrected for me within an hour; then when the size I ordered was too small, you immediately sent out the replacement -- even before you  received my return package. You should be famous for your service!! The web site was great and easy to use -- I don't know how I messed up the way I did. My dress (Monica) is beautiful -- I love it.  The directions you included about the beads are very helpful. Ordering from The Evening Store was such a good experience, I will definitely recommend you to friends. Thanks."
--Rita, Alabama

"Hi Barry. I would love to tell you my experience with shopping with the Evening Store. You were very helpful about what size I should get. And you were right, thank you. I received my dress, and was hoping it would fit, and it fits perfect I don't have to do anything. I love it. If I need another dress I will definitely buy it from the Evening Store. Thanks again."

"Hello. I love the dress I ordered.  Sheri.  The web site, customer service and prompt delivery are great.  I will definitely order from you again and recommend you to family and friends. Thank you"
--Monica, Nevada. 

"I purchased the Alisha in November and have worn it twice already. I love it!  I received lots of compliments both times. The dress is beautiful and well made.  The fabric flows and is absolutely beautiful. I had a couple of questions regarding sizing before I purchased it and Barry was wonderful. Great customer service. I am now waiting for my second purchase to arrive. I just bought the Colette for my wedding (perfect for 2nd time around). I am so happy I found this site!"
--Angie, California

"My twin sister and I were invited to a New Years cruise.  What would we wear?   When you are a large women, finding anything 'fancy' can be a real challenge.  Finding something during the Holiday season can be even worse. Then I came upon The Evening Store!  What a find! When we were not sure of sizing, I called the store.  The most helpful personnel helped me with my questions and concerns.  When we were not sure between two sizes, he worked that out be sending us one of each so we could decide.  Wow!  The dresses arrived and we LOVE them. Thanks to the Evening Store, we feel good about ourselves and are looking forward to a wonderful Holiday cruise. Thank you everyone."
--Marilyn

"First of all Thank YOU So Much for your help and for working with me in obtaining the right dress!  I can't tell you how your kindness in sending both dresses and allowing me to compare and try on in the comfort of my home helped so much.  My husband was able to give some feedback and that meant a lot.  My event is 12/28/07 so I was a little 'under the gun'!  I have decided to keep Amber and so I'm returning Hannah.  Again, thank you.  I don't know of any other store that would have done what you did. You are the BEST!  I will definitely refer your store to my friends and family. Be Blessed and Merry Christmas!"
-- Nina

"Barry, it has been a pleasure doing business with you. I was thrilled when I found your web site, and realized I could get some beautiful formal wear in my plus size. Your customer service was great, and I appreciated your patience while I tried to find a seamstress who could help me out. The sequined jacket is lovely, and well made. It feels delightful on too. I'll be the belle of the ball! Thank you!"

"Just to let you know, I am very pleased with every aspect of my first experience with The Evening Store.  The dresses are beautiful, customer service has been very nice and the delivery time was excellent.  I plan to purchase with you again in the near future."
--Jackie, Alabama

"I found the perfect dress on your website.  The fit was great but I am only 5' 2" so I had to have the length altered.  Other than that, I love the dress ! Thanks."
--Janna

"I ordered the gown Paula on a Thursday and it arrived the next day on Friday. The gown is beautiful and fits great.  It will just need a little hemming.  The website was easy to use with great pictures of the gowns. Customer service was very courteous and attentive.  Kudos all around."
--Jean, New York State 

"I'd been searching for months for a dress to wear to my daughter's wedding; fortunately, with only days to go and no dress before the Big Event, I found your site.  Everyone loved 'Paris' - it arrived only 2 days after my order - and it was slimming and very comfortable, especially considering that I wore it for 10 hours and did lots of dancing.  It photographed well, too. Thanks again - I've since recommended your site to many others. I appreciate your sending the extra fabric free of charge so I could line the sleeves of 'Paris' for a more modest look. It's always a hassle for me to try and find matching fabric and you made it painless. It was a pleasure to do business with you. Thanks again."
--Galia, Baltimore

"Hello there Barry. Just to let you know that the dress arrived this morning all in one piece, I'm pleased to say. I also want to say that I am absolutely thrilled with it. It is just as the picture on your web site and it fits to perfection. I also had a size query which was dealt with efficiently and consequently I was able to order the correct size of 'Monica' dress the very first time. Needless to say that the fit is perfect and, dare I say it, very flattering to the 'fuller figure'. I can't wait to wear the dress at my daughter's wedding next year as I know she too will think it is out of this world. Many thanks as well for taking such a personal interest in my order. Many thanks once again for all your help and advice for making this such a trouble free experience. Very best regards."
--Angela, France.

"The wedding was last Saturday and the evening gown I purchased from you (Paris) was absolutely perfect.  As you told me, it needed to be hemmed and the sleeves shortened a little bit – but that was fast and inexpensive and it came out beautiful.  I got more compliments on the dress (I was the mother of the bride) and felt like a queen walking down the aisle with my daughter, dancing, and just mingling.  I love the dress; I’m sure I’ll be able to wear it many times. And the customer service was absolutely exceptional – your input on what size I needed was right on; your feedback about the dresses was accurate; shipping was fast and reasonable.  It was the best shopping experience I’ve ever had – I will recommend your store to everyone I know that needs a dress and I will definitely buy dresses from you in the future. Thanks for helping to make our daughter’s wedding less stressful!"
--Syd, California

"I think your customer service is great.  I had ordered a dress from your site a couple of years ago for a formal wedding and I got a lot of compliments on it. Now I just ordered another dress 'Paris' and it just came in today so I will try it on tonight, I love the dress I hope it fits me well.  I like that if I have a question I can call Barry and he is very nice and helpful.  I will continue to check out your site when I have a special occasion and need a pretty dress.   Keep up the good work"
--Susan, Philadelphia PA 

"Hi Barry. I have meant to e-mail you and let you know how much I loved the dress I purchased from you. It is one of the most beautiful of dresses that I have ever purchased. The fit was perfect in every way and did not need alterations. I showed the dress to my girlfriends and they all loved it and will remember your store when they need something beautiful and special to wear. You were wonderful to deal with and the whole experience of purchasing on-line could not have been any better. Thank you again for helping me be beautiful and the dance I attended.
--Linda, Virginia

"I cannot thank you enough for your excellent customer service!  The fact that the dress I wanted was on backorder and you sent me the same one but in a different color just so I could make sure it fit while I was waiting was awesome. You even let me hang onto it until the backorder came in.  I ended up keeping the one you sent me and returned the backorder dress.  The quality of your merchandise is excellent and everyone at the party was asking where I got the beautiful dress. I told them all about you and your website. Keep up the good work.  Thanks again."
--Renee, California

"I had quite a predicament.  I was having my wedding dress made for me.  The whole plan fell through at the last minute.  I was in a panic as I searched for a quick replacement.  The Evening Store delivered quickly. I am very pleased with the service I was given.  I was unable to decide between two different dresses. I contacted The Evening Store and spoke with Barry.  He was kind enough to send me two dresses for the price of one.  The instructions on how to return the dress I didn't choose were very clear. I appreciated the time frame I was given to have the dress returned.  Most of all, I love the dress I did choose to wear for my wedding.  I have already referred one woman to The Evening Store.  Thank you for helping to make my special event even more enjoyable! Love from..."
--Shaina Lee, Montana,

"Hello. I have had a perfect experience shopping from The Evening Store.  Everything was outstanding - from communication (I was aware at all times of the status of my order) to the delivery (very fast and affordable) to the size chart and the photos of the dresses. My ‘Cindy’ dress got me quite a few compliments at the black tie event I attended.  Thank you! Thanks also for the clever way you completed the paperwork, it saved me paying twice for the dress."
--Roxana, United Kingdom.

"Barry. I love the dress I ordered from you!  The fit is perfect, and I did not need any alterations.  I purchased the dress called Dolly in light pink.  I bought it to wear for my daughter's wedding which is coming up in a couple of weeks.  Thank you so much for your promptness.  If I had needed something, I felt as if I could depend on you for it. Thanks again."
--Debbie, Michigan

"I just want you to know that the dress (Monica #5830N ) is beautiful and fits me like it was made for me! I am very happy!!! Thank-you for having the dress I needed, it is the perfect color and everything for the wedding. I will tell everyone  about The Evening Store Thank-You again."

"Sorry it took me so long to reply. I wore the dress to my daughters wedding on Saturday and everyone loved it. Your service was wonderful and I appreciate it.
--Sandra, LaGrange, GA

"This past weekend I wore your 'Amber' gown to my son’s wedding. To say that it was gorgeous is an understatement. The compliments I received were endless!  I told everyone where it was purchased. It was not only beautiful, but fit like it was made just for me and was extremely comfortable. And your customer service is exemplary. Thank you so very much for providing the perfect dress for a perfect wedding! Most sincerely."

--Pam, North Carolina

"Barry - My son got married this past Saturday. I had ordered the mint green 'Natalia' dress from your company. Your service was super, and you even honored my request to send out the 'Monica' so I could try that. I wore the 'Natalia' - it fit beautifully and the color was just right. I had comments all night long about how beautiful the dress was and 'where did I get it from'. I would recommend your company, product and service to anyone - it's the old-fashioned service that one doesn't find anymore. I was afraid to buy a dress for the occasion over the Internet, but I'm so glad that I did!  Thank you."
--Maureen, Wisconsin

"I wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the evening dress I purchased from the Evening Store to wear to my son's wedding. It fit without alterations and the color was perfect. I was also pleased that it arrived on my doorstep at the expected arrival date. Thanks."
--Leslie, Utah 

"I was running out of time in my search for a mother-of-the-bride dress so I began to look online to get some ideas.  I stumbled across The Evening Store and I fell in love with one of the dresses on your site.  Although I was very reluctant to order something like this online, I decided that it was worth the risk  since I could return it if it wasn't what I thought it was.  My dress arrived within a week of my order!!!  Unfortunately, I needed a larger size than the one I ordered so I packed it back up and sent it back HOPING that I would get it back in time for the wedding and AGAIN it arrived within a week of me sending it back.  Thank you SO much for your good products and your fabulous customer service.  This is the first wedding of my 4 children...I'll be back for sure."
--Gloria, Virginia, USA

"First of all, I really liked your website.  The gowns were explained fully, and in being able to see close-ups of the gowns, I felt that I was right there in the store. You were so very helpful and patient when I called you, to order my gown.  I received the gowns right away, just like you said.  I am spreading the word to my friends because you are tops and so are your gowns and the way that you run your business. You are so very much appreciated, by me.  I will leave my full name, etc.  I am just so pleased with The Evening Store……..and Barry."
--Gail, Niles, MI

"The dress is beautiful.  I had ordered the size I usually wear and it was way too big.  You were kind enough to send me a replacement dress (Dolly in soft pink) in two sizes (at no additional charge), asking only that I return the one that did not fit.  Fortunately, because I don't have any time for alterations (wedding is this Sunday), the dress fits perfectly .. just needs to be hemmed and that is not a problem.  Thank-you so much for your excellent customer service.  I had been searching for months and could find nothing, and one day just happened upon your website (quite by accident).  I have referred several people to your website.  Again, thanks."
--Pat, Virginia

Angela, Domestic"We ordered a mother-of-the-bride dress from The Evening Store and were absolutely delighted with it. The quality of the styling, fabric and workmanship are fantastic. We especially couldn't believe the lavishness of the beading.  It's virtually impossible to find such beautiful dresses at prices even much higher than this. Truly a great value. And the customer service is extraordinary. I couldn't believe it when Barry told me I could send back one dress for a new size and they'd send another -- at no cost! The Evening Store is truly the Rolls Royce of e-commerce!
Angela

"Dealing with The Evening Store was a total pleasure.  First of all you have dresses unlike any other web site for plus size women.  I purchased the 'Amber' dress and LOVE it. I requested the next size and it was shipped quickly and with no aggravation.  You turned the nightmare of finding a dress for my daughter's wedding into a happy experience and I can't wait to wear my new dress. Thank you sooooooo much."

"Hi Barry. I ordered the Tammara dress and it was incredibly lovely. The workmanship was excellent and everyone that's seen it has remarked on how beautiful it is. I was very pleased that when I didn't like the way the first one fit you sent the next size right and took back the other one with no hassles. I will definitely order from The Evening Store again when the occasion arises and have recommended it to several people already."
--Walli, Stafford Springs, Ct 

"The web site was very easy to use. The customer service was EXCELLENT. I had to exchange my dress for a larger size and it was so easy and stress free. I bought the Debbie gown in the mother of the bride section for my own wedding and it was beautiful and fun to wear and so many compliments. Everyone wanted to know where I bought it from. Thank you for everything and I would not hesitate to order from The Evening Store again and recommend it highly"
--Janet, Wisconsin 

"I was very pleased with the evening dress that I purchased from The EveningStore.com.  My size is very difficult to find and I thought I would have to settle for any dress that would fit me. To my surprise, I was not only able to find my size but an absolutely gorgeous dress too. I was particularly pleased with your personal customer service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your store to anyone. Thanks again. Now I know I'll truly enjoy my nephew's wedding. Sincerely."
--Georgette, Central New Jersey

"I ordered your Monica dress for my daughter's wedding.  The ease in ordering was simple and painless (unlike going to the mall and hunting thru store after store)! The dress came in 2 days and was beautiful. It was exactly as described and the fit was  perfect.  Thanks for your great customer service and wonderful product!"
--Robin, Ohio

"I bought the dress 'Monica'. The XL was too large, and you sent the L out which fits perfectly. I returned the XL within the time framework (insured and delivery confirmation) and I assume there have been no problems with that. All transactions were friendly, professional, and expedient. The quality of the garment was terrific.  I most definitely do business with you again. Thank you!"
--Helen in MA

"I ordered the Monica for my granddaughter's wedding in November. The dress is beautiful and not only well made, but feels so 'silky' when I have it on. With the help of Barry, I was able to order the correct size. The dress arrived promptly, with no wrinkles!  I am very pleased with both the service and the product!"
--Janet, Maryland

"Sheryl from Minnesota, who purchased the beautiful navy colored Tamara evening gown for her daughter's wedding on October 20th, says she is extremely pleased with the product, the service, and the ease of the web site and ordering.  The price was very reasonable and the fact that nothing is back ordered is an enormous bonus.  Thank you for all your kind consideration."

"Dearest Barry. Finally, my Thank-you to you and The Evening Store for making my wedding memorable.  The dress I purchased from you was the Colette.  I just called and gave you my measurements, you sent the dress and all I had to do was hem it.  We decided to do a swoop hem with it higher in the front  and longer in the back.  As you can see the dress was gorgeous it sparkled and shined just like I did on my wedding day... I recommend The Evening Store to anyone who would love a beautiful dress.  Love and Thanks."
--Teri B.

"Thank you so very much. We are more than pleased with the service that we have received from the evening store!!! You were so helpful. The second dress that we got fit great.

"Hi, Barry.  I am very pleased with the dress I purchased from The Evening Store.  It was just what I was looking for and needed no alterations.  I had looked all over Vermont for something and couldn't find what I wanted.  Thank you for being there."
-- Karen, Vermont

"Hello. I loved my dress. I received so many comments about how beautiful it was. I was sooo happy I ordered it. The fit was perfect, no alterations were necessary. I ordered the plus size Katherine in eggplant. The web site is very easy to surf, and the ordering process was fast and easy. The delivery was extremely fast. I received the dress in a couple of days by ground shipping!! The whole experience was great and I would buy from the site again.
Thanks."
--Sheila, Ohio

"Dear Barry and Staff: I love the multi-colored plus size beaded sequin jacket I purchased from you. It arrived only a few days after ordering it. The people at my office saw me open it and made me try it on. I got a lot of complements. Your customer service is unparalleled. I made a last minute address change without any difficulty. The website is very easy to use. The quality and craftsmanship of the garment is
magnificent. I also appreciate the tailoring hints that came with it. Sincerely."
--Andree, Massachusetts

"This is my second purchase from you and I am just as happy with my second order than I was with the first.  I ordered 'Natalia' in navy for my son’s wedding that will take place in January and it is just beautiful!  Being a plus sized woman makes purchasing an elegant evening gown that is tasteful and appropriate difficult.  Thanks to you it is actually easy. The dress arrived quickly and it fit like it was made for me- no alterations necessary. Thanks again."
--Laurene, Orlando, Florida

"The gown I chose was Tamara. I had at one time four gowns with which to make my choice. Ironically, I chose the one with the defective zipper because it happened to fit best.  Your note of reassurance that any good alteration place could alter anything was my encouragement and I felt ok about taking this route and returned the rest. You should receive this package today, Nov 7th."

"TheEveningStore was a wonderful 'accidental'  find as I had spent hours browsing online & going to stores for the perfect gown. I am comfortable with my choice & no longer have the 'itch' to keep shopping. Thank you for your helpfulness. Sincerely."

--Myra

"I was very pleased with my order. I received help from Barry on the phone about the proper size to buy. The dress was beautiful and I am anxious to wear it.  Your website and collection of dresses were the best I found.  I appreciated being able to buy a dress that was modest and sophisticated."
--Judy, Indiana

"DEAR BARRY   I WAS COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH MY DRESS I RECEIVED. I WILL BE WEARING IT AT MY WEDDING. IT IS SO LOVELY. I'M SO HAPPY I FOUND YOUR SITE.  HUGS."
-- JANE

"The last relative has boarded a plane and I can write to say you saved the day. I ordered the Natalia in soft pink and it was perfect for my daughter's wedding.  I had given up finding anything appropriate after spending  days searching all the stores in a major Philadelphia mall and the stores for 60 miles around it. In desperation I tried the internet and found you. The dress arrived in 3 business days, it is beautiful and required no alterations.   It was comfortable AND beautiful.  I can't remember saying that about any formal I have worn in the last 40 years. As I entered the wedding, my 80 year old father announced in a stage whisper 'you look beautiful and like you lost 50 pounds'. It gave the whole congregation something to smile about. I've told everyone who asked, and there were many,  that I ordered my dress online. I've given them your website so expect some orders.   In the future, I will begin my search with you. I would have called you to thank you in person if life had not been so hectic. Thanks for saving the day and my dignity."
--Iris, Pennsylvania

"Thanks so much for filling a last minute order and getting it to me on time. The quality and beauty of the dress was perfect. I actually had bought a dress here in Texas in the event yours didn't make it on time. (I was afraid after talking to other on-line vendors---they needed so much more lead time.) Anyway, thanks the event went great and I was dressed in the dress from your store. I will order from you again and will give myself less stress by order sooner. Thanks!"

"I have purchased from the evening store twice.  Once in 2006 for my mother of the groom dress and once in 2007 for my mother of the bride dress.  I liked the dress so much I got the same one in a different color the second time.  I found the web site very informative and easy to use. Both times my dress arrived very promptly and was the correct color and size.  They also reflect what they look like in both style and color on the web site. They both fit me perfectly and I have received many compliments. Thank you."
--Meri, California

"Thank you for following up.  I had wonderful service.  I received my dress the day after I purchased it.  It is prettier in person than it looks on   the web page. thank you again"
Linda

"I would highly recommend the Evening Store to any of my friends who are looking for a special evening gown. For my daughter's wedding, they went far beyond the call of duty, sending me two dresses to try initially and then special ordering me two more dresses, so that I could get one that I was happy with. Not only did I get the perfect dress after looking at 4 different ones, but they also allowed me to return the ones I didn't want without penalty. I felt like Barry and I were old friends. He was extremely helpful and understanding with me. I have searched in many stores, both online and in person, and no plus size dresses that I found compared to the quality and beauty of the Evening Store dresses. I had a multitude of compliments on my mother of the bride dress and felt like a queen in it. Thank you Barry and everyone else at the Evening Store, you helped make my daughter's wedding day even more special for me."
--Becky, North Carolina

"Barry. The dress I ordered 'Natalia' was even more beautiful than I expected. The fit was perfect! Your website was easy to use and the dress arrived wrinkle-free. Thank you for making finding the perfect dress for my daughter's wedding effortless."
--Sue, Connecticut

"I love my dress I ordered from you, I was really impressed at how well it was made. The top was fully lined, you don't find that very often. Shipping was fast, I received it three days after placing the order. I wore it to my daughter's wedding and got so many compliments on it. My sister-in-law, whose daughter is getting married in November, wanted to know where I bought it because she wanted to check out your website and hopefully order a dress from you to wear at her daughter's wedding. The dress I purchased was Dolly, Style #58032 in Soft Pink. Thanks!"
--Connie, Ohio

"I needed a really special dress for my daughter's wedding Sept. 1 and had been searching for hours on the Internet when I found your site. The only problem I had from then on was deciding which dress I wanted. There is no comparison with the other sites I looked at, yours is far superior, especially in the selection of plus size dresses. I got my dress in plenty of time in case I needed to have it altered. I was pleased as well, that I would not have any difficulty returning it if it didn't fit, which didn't happen by the way. I ordered Natalia in pink and am well pleased with it."
--Brenda in Texas

"I WOULD BE HAPPY TO GIVE YOU MY COMMENTS ON YOUR SERVICE. I WAS IMPRESSED BY THE RESPONSE OF YOUR SERVICE, I ORDERED THE DRESS ON MONDAY AND RECEIVED IT ON WEDNESDAY THE SAME WEEK,  I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SIZE, BUT YOU SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR ME AND REORDERED ANOTHER SIZE WITH THE SAME RESPONSE TIME. I AM VERY IMPRESSED AND HAVE TOLD OTHERS ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE."
--JOAN. ITASCA, ILLINOIS

--Toni

"I was pleased with the quick response on helping me order the correct size for a mother of the bride dress. Once I placed my order, the dress arrived within the specified time requested. I would consider using your website for future needs."
--Peggy, Oregon

"Your web site is very nice. I wasn’t sure of the size I should get in the Natalia, so I called and spoke to Barry. He recommended that I try the XL and also recommended that I get the navy. While I’m glad I listened.  The dress fits perfectly – no alternations necessary – and the color is perfect.  I can’t wait to wear it for my son wedding in October. Thank you again - I have already recommended your site to others."
--Connie, Northridge, CA 

"Barry. I could not have asked for better quality, customer service, or overall helpfulness.  It was a pleasure to deal with you and The Evening Store.  I will recommend the products and web site to all my friends.  I purchased 'Cindy' and it is stunning!  Thank you for your help and assistance."
--Barb, Delaware

"The dress I ordered from The Evening Store is lovely.  I am pleased with the color and the style, and I plan to wear it to our son's wedding in October.  This seemed almost too easy!  Thank you for writing."
--Jane, Texas

--Carolyn Rogers

"I recently attended a black tie wedding and I was looking for a jacket to dress up a plain floor length black dress I planned on wearing. I searched the local stores and just couldn't find what I was looking for. When surfing the web, I ran across The Evening Store's web site. The Alice jacket was exactly what I was looking for. I ordered the jacket only to find it was not currently in stock in the size I had requested. The Evening Store contacted me immediately to make sure I was ordering the right size and to find out the date of the occasion I planned to wear the jacket. I was assured it would arrive in time. It did! The jacket fit perfectly, was exactly what I had been looking for, ordering was easy and the jacket was very reasonably priced. I received many complements that night. Thank you! Thank you!"
--Sue, Michigan

"HELLO. I ordered the Debbie dress for my wedding next May 2008. I wasn't real sure about it when I ordered it but when I received it and opened the box my heart just dropped. It was the prettiest dress I have seen in a long time. Unfortunately there was a snag in the front of the dress. I called The evening store and they shipped me another one before I even returned the damaged one. I was just delighted. When I need a dress this will be the first place I look from now on. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING A PART OF MY WEDDING."
--Sandy, California

"I am the costume designer for a cabaret in Cleveland, OH, so I frequently have the need to purchase formal gowns that will look great onstage -- usually with specific color requirements/limitations.  I've bought from your store twice, and both times the service has been great -- very quick turnaround, with the ability to order multiple dresses, try them on, and return what we didn't want at no cost!  My most recent experience was especially good, as I had to accommodate a last-minute cast change, so I only had a couple of days to get her a dress.  The dresses arrived the day before the show, and fit perfectly (I expected that I would need to do some alterations) -- everyone was very happy with it. Thanks for your help!"
--Jenniver, Cleveland, Ohio

"I was very pleased with the product and the delivery.  I bought the Alisha and I forget the other dress.  I received them quickly which was very important.  I will be wearing them to try out at the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, Kentucky.  I will use your store again.  The dress fit perfectly."
--Delores

"My son got married this past Saturday. I had ordered the mint green Natalia dress from your company. Your service was super, and you even honored my request to send out the 'Monica' so I could try that. I wore the 'Natalia' - it fit beautifully and the color was just right. I had comments all night long about how beautiful the dress was and 'where did I get it from?'. I would recommend your company, product and service to anyone - it's the old-fashioned service that one doesn't find anymore. I was afraid to buy a dress for the occasion over the internet, but I'm so glad that I did!  Thank you."

--Yvonne, Nebraska

"My 'Natalia' dress arrived yesterday. It is absolutely gorgeous and fits perfectly. I ordered it to wear to my son's wedding in October and I so happy that I found out about your company. The dress not only looks good but I feel really good wearing it. The style allows good coverage of what I want covered in my midsection. I highly recommend it."

"The dress was beautiful and  fit perfectly except I had to have it hemmed. I wore it to my daughter's wedding.  I had shopped, shopped , shopped and just couldn't find the right dress. Thank you so much. I was a little unsure about ordering such a dress online but I was well pleased. I will recommend you to others. Thank you again."
--Freda, Elizabethtown. NC

"Well the wedding craziness is over & the dress from your company was BEAUTIFUL & just perfect for the day! I am so glad you insisted on sending the large & the extra large as I was right in between both sizes! The extra large was the choice! I need to return the large to you with my thanks & gratitude.

"Hi Barry. I purchased the dress Dolly in Soft Blue for my daughter's wedding. It is beautiful. I got many compliments on the dress and have had lots of people ask me where I purchased it. I was very quick to tell them, theeveningstore.com. Told them I had absolutely no problems ordering the dress from the States. Thank you for making a full-figured woman look great on her daughter's wedding day. P.S.-- I will also be wearing my dress when on go on my Mediterranean cruise next month. Thanks again."
--Bonnie, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada

--Bernie, New Jersey

"I am pleased to tell you that I love the Natalia gown in the navy blue, the color you recommended. It fits perfectly and I feel elegant in it. I am amazed and delighted at the outstanding service and guidance you provided, Barry. That is not common in today's world. You inspired the confidence I was seeking in making the right choice for my 'Mother of the Bride' dress. Our daughter's wedding is next weekend, and I am so pleased to have a gown that I will enjoy wearing. Thank you so very much!"

"Thank you for such a beautiful dress.  I ordered the Dolly and the fit was perfect.  A slight length alteration was all that was needed.  The service was super.  I received the dress within 3 days. WOW!   I wore the dress to my son's wedding on Aug 4, 2007 and the compliments I received were all awesome.  I have already given out your website to others."
--Dianne, Champaign Illinois

"Barry. Thanks for your help with my 'Mother of the Bride' dress.  I ordered the 'Dolly' dress and was a bit unsure of the size.  After a quick phone call from me you sent another size for me to compare.  I had a week from the time they were received by me to return each of the dresses.  I purchased the one that was the best fit and loved wearing it to my daughter's wedding.  The detailed beading on my dress was absolute perfection!  And never has a purchase been so easy!  I will highly recommend your wonderful product and your wonderful customer service to all! God bless."
--Cathy, Texas

"I love my dress and look forward to wearing it next week.  It is the navy with the glittery top and chiffon skirt - Natalie, I think.  I will certainly continue to do business with your company."

"I am absolutely delighted with my dress. I've tried it on for family and they said 'You have never worn anything so flattering'. I ordered 'Natalia' in navy for my son's wedding in October and I am so pleased. I love the neckline and this dress is so slimming. It arrived in just a few days which was another plus for your business. Thank you so much."
--Marilyn, Newfoundland, Canada

 "I ordered the Natalia model - it came in record time (I live outside the US), arrived in perfect shape and is very lovely. I was very happy to find this store and was very pleased with the efficient, friendly service."
--Claudia

"Hello back to you – I am very pleased with my dress, Monica. The workmanship on the beading was beautifully appointed, and I have already recommended you to other friends. I was also relieved to see a wide choice in 'plus size' clothing. My mother-of-the-groom dress is perfect! Thank you."
-- Judy, NJ

"I liked your product very much. The tailor also admired it. I hope you have received the one dress that was too big and I had to return. Your web site is very helpful as were you. I can’t wait to wear it to my son's wedding. Thank you."
--Janet, New York State

"I bought a beautiful evening dress from your establishment. It fit beautifully, and I received many compliments!"
--Cathy

"I love my dress! It’s a little too big on the top, but I found someone that will do the alteration on it. I believe I ordered the Debbie dress. It’s very beautiful. Thank you!"
--Carrie – Fresno, California

"Dress was beautiful, service excellent, web site easy to navigate. I've already referred several people your way! Thanks!"
--Sally

"Barry.  I purchased Amber and my Husband thinks it is perfect. Fit was excellent and it was just as it appeared on you web site. 100% satisfied. Thank you."
--Marcia

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!  Yesterday was my son's wedding and thanks to you I felt beautiful and comfortable.  I called you only a month earlier and ordered the Cindy dress. Your service was wonderful and I received the dress in only two days time, so I had plenty of time to have it altered. The quality of the material and the workmanship was superior. I am a large size and only 5'2", and it is difficult to find a dress that fits well and looks good. All it needed was a  tuck at the bust line and shoulder and the length shortened.  Because of the heat I wore the dress with a chiffon shawl instead of the coat. (I'm sure I will use the coat for another affair and the dress will have a completely new look.)  I received so many compliments. Everyone said I looked like I lost so much weight, but it was just that the dress was so slimming. Thank you for your wonderful service and product. You helped make my son's wedding a wonderful day for me. Sincerely."
--Maria, New Jersey

"Hi Barry. I received my dress (Natalia) in about 5 days. It is beautiful. I wore it to my son's wedding and received many wonderful compliments. I thought it was a reasonable price for such a quality garment. Your website it great and very easy to use. I would recommend your site to anyone who is looking for fine evening wear. Thank you."

--Jan, Wisconsin

"I ordered the Natalia dress and the size was perfect. Thanks also for your tips on undergarments."
--Willa, Woodland, CA

"I can't tell you how satisfied I was with the dress I bought from you. It was beautiful! I shopped every mall within a hundred mile radius and every website I could find. I couldn't find anything appropriate, I don't believe that all evening dresses don't have sleeves nowadays, or if they do have sleeves, they are cheaply made. How can any woman look elegant sleeveless? it's so tacky! Anyways, Thanks so much. Maybe you could add some more styles to your collection, I have more children to marry off."
--Alice

"i found yr web site info great and products beautiful thanks."
-- margaret, nsw australia

"I'm finally replying back because I wore the dress on Saturday. I got nothing but compliments. I loved the dress but so did everyone else. I wore it for my son's wedding. It was style 258032. The fit was great! And it was so easy to order. Prompt shipping too! You guys are the best! I will definitely order again."
--Dianne

"Barry, just a note to tell you how pleased I was with my dress! I had no idea how hard it was to find plus size gowns that were appropriate. I had many compliments and inquiries about my dress. The bridal shop that steamed my dress after travel and provided my daughter's gown was so impressed with the workmanship on my dress she wanted your information to see if she could represent your dresses in the San Francisco area! I could not have been more pleased with your customer service, your speedy delivery and first and foremost the quality of your product. I will be quick to refer you to others! May you have continued 'success' in your future business. Abundant Thanks!"
--Shirley

"Barry. I loved my Natalia mint green dress !!!  I will be almost as beautiful as my daughter the Bride !!  Your shipping was fast; you personally helped with the sizing; your website is very easy to navigate; and payment was secure.  The one surprise I really needed but never in a million years expected came when I got the dress.  I needed a some alterations and you provided instructions for the seamstress !!!  What a wonderful idea.  You even included extra beads.  I will recommend you every chance I get and will shop with your store when an occasion arises.  Thank you so much !!!"
--Donna, Twin Falls, Idaho

"I wanted to let you know that the dress I ordered - The Monica - from TheEveningStore.com was absolutely perfect for my son's wedding. I received many compliments and I felt very comfortable in the dress. I also appreciate all you did to make sure I had the right size and color of the dress. I know that there was a mix-up with the color I ordered when I changed sizes of the dress but you handled it very professionally and promptly. Thank you so much for helping such a wonderful and memorable day be so special by providing a beautiful dress for me to wear. I will remember this website for all of my special dress needs. Sincerely."
--Bev

"Hello. I found your website when I was recently searching for a Mother of the Bride dress. I wasn’t able to locate anything locally that really wowed me , except for the outrageous prices. I purchased your Natalia dress in the soft mint color. I received it promptly and it was absolutely beautiful! The cost made it even more of a great find. I did have to have the dress altered as I expected. I could not tell you how many people commented on how beautiful my dress was. I highly recommend The EveningStore.com to anyone looking for a high quality formal wear! Thank you."
--Carla, Missouri

 "Hello. Ordering from your website was a very enjoyable experience.  I ordered the Paris and I tried on the dress moments after receiving it.  I was pleasantly surprised to find it fit perfectly.  I bought it for my daughter's wedding and she also loves the dress.  Your customer service is really the very best I've experienced.  Thank you so much for making such a fine product!"
--Julie, Nebraska

"I purchased the Natalia for my daughter's wedding tonight.  I just got home and cannot tell you how many compliments I received on the dress.  It came very quickly and was very comfortable to wear. Thanks."
--Beverly, Illinois

"I was so happy with my dress. I ordered the Natalie. I have a great story. It was 2 weeks before my son's wedding and I Googled. 'Help, I can't find a mother of the groom dress'. I found a mother of the bride and she had the same problem. I don't even know who she was talking with but I read their blog and this MOB found your website and said 'look at this dress'. So I clicked on her link and there was the Natalie! I loved it instantly and went to the sizing charts, read them and measured myself. I ordered the XL and had it shipped 3 day. I waited anxiously and told everyone what I had done! I had the dress delivered to my office so I wouldn't miss it. Well, it came at noon and I took it in the restroom and put it on and modeled for the whole staff at the McKinney Chamber of Commerce. It fit me like a glove! Everyone loved it and so did I. Everyone at the wedding told me that I looked fabulous in the dress! Thank you so much for your great site and wonderful product."
--Phyllis, McKinney Texas

"I couldn't be happier- I was a little concerned about buying a dress with a size listed as XL but it fit perfectly. I had spend hours looking for a dress- have never bought one over the internet but the experience was great."
-- Jane, Iowa

"I love my new dress. It is the Monica style. Your store has been exceptional to deal with and you are top notch. The dress is of great quality and absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for everything!!"

"Thank you for excellent service and a beautiful dress. It is exactly what your web site showed it to be and more. Perfect for my Son's wedding and many other formal affairs this year. I will have it tailored and be so proud to wear it. Thank you for being an honest and reliable web site with beautiful selections. I have told everyone how pleased I am. Sincerely."
--Marcia

"I was looking for a Mother of the Bride dress and was disappointed with what I found locally.  By chance, I tried online and happen to find your website and what a lucky find it was.  The dress I ordered was 'Paris'  just perfect for our black & white wedding.  The dress is beautiful & it only needs minor alterations.  It was great to get a replacement dress sent when the original one was too big.  You saved me hours of frustration, when there are other things I was needed to do.  Kudos to Barry and The Evening Store.  I won't hesitate to order from you again.  Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you."
--Celeste, Ohio

"I was very pleased with the dress, 'Monica' that I wore to my son's wedding in June.  It is a very flattering dress for those of us who wear larger sizes.  I received many compliments.  My 3 children were all married in the last 2 years and this was my favorite dress of the 3, at more than half the price. Others said it was also their favorite of the 3.  I wish I had known about The Evening Store for the other 2 weddings.  The service is excellent.  Barry sent me 2 dresses because I wasn't sure which color I would like better (I chose the navy) and said just to return the one I didn't select but he only charged my account for one.  I highly recommend this store."
--Monica, New Jersey

"I bought the Natalia dress last fall for my son's May 15, 2007 wedding.  I am so happy with the quality and beauty of the dress.  I felt fabulous, it was a comfortable fit and perfect for a beach wedding.  I had looked at so many dresses prior to finding theeveningstore.com but once I saw this dress, I knew it was the one for me, and I stopped looking. Thank you for a wonderful website. Thank you for the great quality of apparel you offer.  I have sent the link to a few of my friends who were also going to be a mother of the bride or groom."

--Veronica, Sidney, NE

"I could not be happier with the dress I ordered! I was so pleased that you would send two sizes and let me return the one that did not fit - that was not something I expected at all. Your website does a beautiful job of really showing the dresses and was very user friendly. You have a wonderful selection. I also had excellent and friendly help from Barry. I live in the middle of Nebraska and would have had to travel pretty far to even shop for a dress like I received. Thanks again- I would recommend your site for any mother of the bride looking for a beautiful dress."
--Colleen, Nebraska.

" I was extremely pleased with not only the mailing service, but the care and consideration given to me upon returning an incorrect sized dress and ordering a new one.  I will definitely by using your services in the future and have told all my friends and relatives about it.  Thank you for your professional service and high quality evening wear!!! "

"The dress is beautiful!!! It was a joy to do business with TheEveningStore.com. Thank you!"
--Barbara, CA

"The Evening Store is awesome! I had a hard time choosing between Sidney and Sherry and wasn't sure which size I needed. Barry sent me both dresses in two sizes to help me - and only charged me for one. After a week I finally chose Sherry and returned the others. The dress fits perfectly except for the length. I highly recommend this store. The website was easy to maneuver through; the ordering process simple."
--Mary, New York

"I think you are the best. Your fashions are wonderful. Your service cannot be beat. I will do business with you again. I have recommended your site to several friends of mine. I am Susan and I ordered 'Amber'. Thank you very much"
--Susan

"I ordered the 'Elizabeth'. The online picture does not show how truly beautiful this dress is! It's a perfect fit and very figure flattering. The service was very professional and I will recommend The Evening Store to anyone searching for that perfect outfit for a special occasion.  I plan on wearing my dress to my son's outdoor wedding in July and with the special beading and sequins on the dress, I know I will get looks in my direction! Thank you."
--Carol, Fernley NV

--CANDY, LOS ANGELES,  CALIFORNIA

"I bought the dress Monica for my son's military wedding. It matches and fits me great. The service was fast and I liked the fact I could call Barry and let him know it was too small or large and he would send out another dress. It is also nice to have someplace that actually has dresses to fit a large frame. Thanks"
--Eugenia - USA

"Barry.  The replacement dress arrived today.  Thank you for the suggestion for this design it is a perfect fit for me and I love the dark color and length.  I will certainly order from you again when I need a beautiful dress. Sincerely."

 "As a customer service worker myself I have to commend you on your service, customer service and most of all your patience. I ordered an XL dress and everyone told me to get the L. Well when I received the L it was way too small. I had already sent back the XL and promptly called you and asked that you reship the  XL back to me. I received the XL, had it altered and I am wearing it to my nephew's wedding this Saturday. It looks great. All of this was done with no questions asked and no recharging my card for the reshipment since you  did not have the original dress back. Great job."

"Just wanted you to know (and I'm sure you already do) that I did receive the dress on time while I was in the States. The dress is really very classy. I returned with it to Slovakia and took it to the tailor on Saturday. Unfortunately (for others), to have the length shortened and the straps also shortened (on the back as well) the alterations will be around $40! Your help and honesty in the ordering process are most appreciated and continued success to The Evening Store!"
--Christine

"Thank you for a great dress and great service! I was nervous getting a maid of honor dress one week before the wedding. I bought the Tammara dress, it came just as promised,  I didn't even have to expedite the dress, and the tailoring tips helped a lot. Just an inch of hemming which I did myself, and the dress was perfect!  I received quick confirmation of the order, even though it was Memorial Day weekend.  Another store finally got back to me, two days before the wedding, but I already had yours in hand, so I cancelled that order. Traveling to a wedding in Alaska, so timing was of up most importance!  The style and color was perfect too. I will definitely use your site again and recommend you to others. "

"The dress (Natalia) was just beautiful. I had to return the first one because it was to small but the second one came in less time than you said.  You called to tell me that you didn't have my size but that they will be making more. You said that I could keep the first dress to compare them but I decided I needed to send the first one back.  I have told all my friends about your company as they have special events coming up in the next few months.  I think it is great that you get your dress so fast because with other companies you have to order them 5 to 6 months ahead and if you are trying to loose weight, that size could change, costing you hundreds of dollars in alterations. Your company is great. Thanks!"

"In the last four months, I purchased 4 beautiful gowns from the EveningStore.com. ALICE, SERENA, TAMMARA and ALISHA last week.  Your clothes are beautiful and I told my friends about your beautiful clothes.  I will always be your customer. Sincerely,"
--Palu, Los Gatos, California.

"I loved your product, customer service and web site. Your return policy is fantastic, and the fast service and delivery is amazing. And when I called to let you know that I was returning the first dress, you were so pleasant and accommodating….Amazing place. Also, you prices are also amazingly good. I do have a question.  How often do you add new styles??? Thank you"
--Helen, Worcester, MA

"My name is Judith and I'm from Spain. I received  one Leslie, one 100% silk camisole and one Cindy dress. Your service in my opinion was superb, really good! Doing business with you was a great experience. I intend to keep doing it. Best regards."

"Dear Barry. I purchased the 'Natalia' dress in mint green and I couldn't be happier with the color, workmanship, and how flattering the style is. I looked all over for the right dress and was so pleased to find your website.  It was easy to navigate through and how true to the pictures, the dress was.  Your customer service was excellent and delivery was fast. The next time I need another dress, your site will be the first I go to! Thank you again."

" I would like to take a moment to let you know that my evening wear arrived safe and sound, fast and correct. Also, or moreover, the Maryanne top and separate evening trousers are stunning together. I am thrilled by the quality, beauty, value and fit of the ensemble. Thank you, again, for your wonderful line of evening wear. I will look smashing at a very smart evening wedding on the waterfront in Philadelphia. You are the BEST! Yours truly."
--L. Ann

"I love my dress!  It fits perfect.  My daughter is getting married May 5.  I went to get her for a bridal shower the march 10th and she was just getting over the flu. She got worse after the shower and we ended up admitting her to the hospital Monday  March 12th. She stayed there 6 days with pneumonia.
So during all this my father passed away.  We are trying to stay focused on the wedding now and on to happier times. The dress is beautiful  Thanks so much !"
--Marietta

"I wore this dress to my daughter's wedding in Memphis, Tennessee on April 7.  It was a beautiful dress and everyone admired it and I was just thrilled with it.  I was a little nervous about ordering a dress for such an important occasion on-line but after I saw the dress, I knew I had made a good decision.  Thank you very much for your prompt service and for carrying such well-made clothing.  I was very happy that the beads were sewn on, not pasted, and that the dress was so...o....o.....perfect!"
--Sandra

"I received my dress yesterday and I am absolutely totally pleased. It is just a little long but that can be shortened. It feels great, lots of body to it with the beading and I love the colour. The service has been great. Do you realize what a great service you provide to ladies just a little bit bigger than the norm? I have been looking for a Mother of the Bride dress for the last two months and they were all too matronly or too small. There is absolutely nothing available in the province of Nova Scotia to fill this gap. I will tell everyone that I know about your services. Thank you again."

"I am very happy with my experience with your company.  I live in a city that is an oasis in the desert and isolated somewhat from other cities.  When I tried to find a dress I liked for my daughter's wedding, I found the local merchants to carry drab, uninteresting, one-shape-fits-all dresses.  One experience i had was at a bridal shop at the local mall.  When I asked if there was anything sparkly or beaded the reply I got was ' what are you, maybe 50?'  That was the end of my local shopping and I went online where I found The Evening Store.  I immediately found exactly what I was looking for. I ordered the wrong size and you sent out another without question.  I couldn't be happier with the price, product or service and I have recommended you to others. Thank you.  You saved me from a lot of trouble. Sincerely,
--Meri

"Just a quick line to say a huge thank you for the fantastic gown that I have purchased recently. Being a rather large and tall lady I have great difficulty in getting gowns that fit correctly. I bought it for my sons wedding on June 1st, and I am sure all my friends and family will be amazed that I bought the dress from New York, without even leaving the UK. Thanks once again, and a little warning. I will be back Thanks once again"
--Barbara, UK

"I'm absolutely thrilled with the dress I purchased from TheEveningStore.com Your service is outstanding.
I have referred several friends to your site."
--Judy, Niles, MI

" I wrote a note previously in the return item but here goes again. The skirt is absolutely gorgeous - flows beautifully and is of very good quality in material and workmanship. Thank you for being so helpful. When I have a need, I most certainly will be ordering from you again and I encourage others to do the same. What a delightful experience. They will be pleasantly surprised."
--Bruette, Florida

"Barry. I was very happy with both the dress and the service you provided.  When I wanted to try the dress in another size, you sent one out immediately at no charge. Don’t know of any other place that does that!  I purchased the Dolly. I had to take it to be altered, but can’t wait to wear it for our son’s wedding. I had shopped all over, both in local stores and on line, and when I found your website you had just what I was looking for.  Thank you so much!"
--Cecile, Kentucky

"I bought the 'Candy' evening dress to wear at a formal evening wedding. Ordering was a breeze and it arrived very quickly, packed neatly in a small, flat box. The dress matches the photo so no unpleasant surprises there. Too much beading often looks garish but the black beading on the black dress makes for a more subdued and elegant look. I would have preferred no beading on the rear but these days even the best designers seem to not care about that anymore (no or hardly any beading on rear used to be done so you wouldn't damage beads when sitting down). The dress fits me very well, even though it's a few inches too long for my short frame (I'm barely 5'4"). I knew it would be too long because the length is mentioned on the site. I didn't have it altered; I just wear my 4 inch killer heels with it. I do wish The Evening Store would make their dresses in a 'petite' variety, though! But I'm very happy with my shopping experience and with my dress."
--Adriana, San Francisco, CA

"I own several of your gowns (Amber, Hannah, Sally, Serena, and Monique) whenever I am attending a formal affair The EveningStore.com is where I shop. It is easy online shopping and customer service for returns is the best online. Anyone needing to dress for that special occasion should try this site. Great clothes, great prices, great service!"
--Devlyn, Ohio

"I already told you how great the dress and your prompt shipment was great. Website, great pictures. Dress looks like picture."
--Mina, Tarzana, CA

"Barry. I have not seen any retail with your kind of superb service on so many different levels...from order to return to reorder. Thanks for the lovely evening top."

"I am writing this on behalf of my sister, as the dress we ordered is for her to wear to her son’s wedding in October. She wanted me to let you know that the Natalia dress we ordered was beautiful, especially for a larger woman. The size we decided to order was slightly snug in the waist but the next larger size would have been much too large. We will use one of your suggestions for dealing with the ‘snugness’. Thank you for such excellent service. Sincerely."
--Jane, GA

"Barry, my experience with The Evening Store was exceptional and I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs a beautiful dress for a special event. I went from searching for a dress to wear at my son's wedding on Sunday evening to a
