So I went here for my very first wedding dress experience. I would never recommend this place to…read moreanyone. I walked in and they had suits laying all over the dirty floor. I don't care if you are spraying them for dry cleaning or just hitting them with fabreeze before hanging them back up again, it was gross and no one should have to step over clothes on the floor to go try on dresses. The girl I had was nice enough but very new so I heard more about her wedding then I told her about mine. Next the heat in there was outrageous! They wouldn't turn it down and couldn't offer a fan due to no plugs.... Anywhere. It's fun trying on dresses while sweating. . Also what's this no water while in a dress and you have to drink it in the front lobby? ITS WATER!! And half the dresses and stained and ripped anyway. My friends were the biggest help fluffing the dress and doing all the things I thought the employee was supposed to do. After I tried on all my dresses I wanted to go thru a few of my faves and even a few I didn't like because one of my bridesmaids showed up late. The girl told me she put them back because she didn't like them on me.... Not her decision it's mine, give me the dress. The only good thing here is the selection. Tons of dresses. I'd recommend Lady Js in Hollowell! AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! The whole 9 yards. Fan, nipple covers, sweat shields, wipes, deodorant, perfume, lotion, and a mimosa that you can drink in the dress and have it with you in the dressing room! You wanna feel like a princess? Talk to Lady J!

After having such an amazing initial visit at Henry's, I feel like an update is needed now that the…read moredust has settled on the wedding. I had my dress altered with Lai, their in-house alterations person. Though Lai is clearly very knowledgable and talented, she had a large task having to take in my dress that was initially 1-2 sizes too large and then had to be taken in even more after I lost 30 lbs. During the first fitting, we had the dress pinned and discussed our options. As I mentioned, I live in Boston so getting a fitting done takes me 8 hours of travel time round trip. Our second fitting came a month before the wedding and i thought would be the last fitting thanks to a busy schedule heading in to the last month. Unfortunately there were a few issues that still needed to be resolved so Lai asked me to come back a third time. Given the timing, there was just no way to do that so I had my mother pick up the dress and bring it down the weekend of my shower, two weeks before the wedding. When I tried it on the third time I realized not only was the top so tight I could not take in a full breath, but one of the front seams had been cut crooked. The dress was satin and paneled, so there was no way for this to be fixed. A gap in the attached belt was also left hanging and only one hook held the too-stressed zipper together, which made the buttons running down the back flap open instead of laying flat. Given the fact that the dress had to be taken in 6 inches, I had no idea how it had gotten to be so tight across my chest and ribs. It was a disappointment to say the least, and I ended up having to take it to my local tailor to have hooks added to the top and front of the zipper so the buttons would lay flat in the back and the dress wouldn't burst open with how stressed the zipper was. While I admit that some of these issues could have been resolved with a third fitting (and that is totally my fault I couldn't swing it) the tightness and cooked seam could not have been fixed. My mom ended up writing a letter to Henry's to let them know that perhaps Lai is a little busy and the response was to ask me to come in the weekend of my wedding for them to fix it. Why even bother responding at all? No one in their right mind would ask someone to travel another 4 hours for a repair the weekend of their wedding, so I was a little disappointed in the response in general. Overall, a great place to get a dress, but after dropping that kind of money on a dress, perhaps paying $350 for alterations which ultimately made me hate a dress I loved is not worth it and brides should go else-where.

It's the kind of wild esoterica shop that you don't see around much, selling everything from coyote skulls to cheeky postcards. I also want to mention that the proprietors told us to be sure to check out Mexicali Blues (a similar shop a block down) and the cashiers at Mexicali Blues told us to be sure to stop by Rock & Art. So clearly they are good neighbors as well!
