LONG POST......
I had a great time at the Dress Barn in Aurora, Colorado today. Finished up a little early from work and heading over there see what kind of dresses they had on clearance.
There were several lady customers in the store and three Sales Assistants. I started looking at tops, and skirts and dresses and did like the girls did. Looked at everything, pulled them off the racks, placed them against me, all en drab.
After about 30 minutes of looking I grab three skirts and two tops and headed for an SA. I asked if she could let me in a dressing room and one of the customers looked up, and then looked away.
I tried on the five items and was thrilled to see that I had dropped a dress size. Everything was two big. Woo Hoo!!
So when I came out of the dressing room, the SA asked how it went and I said I was glad to see they were all two big. So I headed back to the rack and grabbed a smaller dress and a skirt.
Now there were five SAs hanging out at the cashier station as it was obviously shift change.
A very cute SA about mid-thirties asked if I was finding everything okay and I asked her in front of all of the ladies, including two customers if I could get a dressing room. The SA asked a tall 20-something beauty if she would get me a dressing room.
As the SA lead me to the dressing room, she grabbed the dress from me and said I was going to love this dress. She had one just like it and wore it out this weekend and had a grand time. I told her it won't look near as good on me as it did on her. She said it will look great, just you wait and see.
So, I tried it on and she was right. I loved it. After looking around and around in the mirror, I heard the SA outside the door. She asked what I thought. I told her she was right. She asked if she could see. I told her I needed to put a corset on for it to fight they way I wanted. She said that's okay, I can imagine how it will look when you are finished, let me see! so I opened the door and showed her. She told me I needed to have that dress.
So as I was checking out, she asked my phone number (for the sales order) and I gave it to her. Then she asked if I was going to wear the dress out tonight, and I told her not tonight but later I would. She told me to come back and let her know if everybody thought it was awesome. I told her I would bring pictures. One of the other SAs said she wanted to see them also.
So, sorry for the long post, but I still can't believe the great experience I had today. I can hardly wait to go back.
