Gorgeous ball gowns, mermaid & long formal dresses, all decked out in premium fabrics, crystals, pearls, you name it! First Lady also sells jewelry & evening bags, & they offer alterations. Such a convenience. They have been in business a long time so they know these dress designers. Some designers they sell - Tiffany (house of Wu), Mignon, Tony Bowls, & many others. I have purchased three dresses from here and will keep coming back! I definitely recommend this boutique for any lady with fancy dress needs!

I said I would like to make an appointment. I arrived at the agreed upon time and was asked by the saleslady what I was looking for. I showed her the colors for the wedding I am attending. She asks what my budget was, I told her "it's is whatever I like". She showed me a few dresses but I asked if I could look around. She asked what style I liked and I said "understated and elegant". She said "this is not that kind of store". I didn't really like any of the dresses so I decided to leave. On my way out she said she had another room I could look in. In that side room I saw 1 black and white dress that I liked and she showed me 2 other black dresses. I tried the 1st dress on. As she was zipping me up, I said I didn't care for it and was going to try on the other dress. I went in the room to undress and she said twice " open the door" because she saw me looking at the black and white dress. I said twice "wait a minute please" so she hung it outside my dressing room to try next. I tried on the 2nd dress but didn't like it. I told her that she didn't have to zip me up because I didn't like it and I wanted to try on the black and white dress. She said to me rudely "you don't like nothing; how can you tell if you like it if you don't want to zip it up!" I said, "I can tell without zipping it up if I like it or not and I want to try on the Black and white dress". She then took the B/W dress that was hanging outside my dressing room and hung it back up with the other dresses for sale. I told her "As a sales person you shouldn't make me feel bad". I left and won't be coming back!

At Bridal Expos and online, you usually get bombarded with the chain Menswear places to do your business with for your wedding day (like I did). The styles at these places were bland and I wanted something different. I stumbled upon Sam Michael's and from my first visit (of probably 5 or 6 in total), I was hooked! Walking in here for the first time, I didn't know what to expected. I explained that I was getting married, and 8 groomsmen and 2 parents that needed suits. I was sat down and shown all of my different rental options, which included suits, tuxes, pants, ties, shoes and other accessories. So many decisions, but I was granted the ability to stay there and think carefully, but also explained to that I can change it as many times as I want up to a month or so before the wedding date. Attached are some pictures of the suit I picked for myself and my groomsmen. It was a brand new suit in their inventory that they personally owned, as well as the color choice for my accents (pocket square and tie). Michael and team were very professional through the entire process. We had multiple texts and phone calls back and forth during my moving of our wedding date as well as when my accent color was discontinued. After the wedding was all said and done, I was granted a $500 shopping spree on a suit set of my choice. That was really exciting and I got a nice blue, checkered patterned suit. Initially the suit was advertised to me as "slightly more expensive" but better quality and service than competitors. After we allocated our wedding finances after we got married, at Sam Michael's, I actually spent LESS than what I budgeted and LESS than a competitor I was initially going to go with. Totally worth it here! Thank you Mike and team for everything! I felt like family every time I walked in. No errors or resizing for any of us during our pick ups.

    Unfortunately, sales rep Celes (as printed on the receipt) did not provide customer service on par…read morewith the reviews I'd seen. Celes seemed annoyed that I needed to try on varying sizes and brands, as if she didn't know what being fitted entails. She gave limited information and contradicted herself multiple times regarding sister sizes. If they didn't have the size I needed, I would have rather her say that instead of being rude to me because I wanted a close fit. She seemed she would have rather I left with something ill fitting than have to help me further. Her words and negative attitude made it clear she did not want to assist me. She outright stopped helping with trying on bras at one point and even tossed the final options down on the bench before walking out the room. Celes made me feel unwelcome. If I hadn't needed to make my purchase in a timely manner, I would not have spent my money in this establishment. Two stars because I was able to find a bra. Minus 3 because Celes made it a more unpleasant experience than it needed to be.

Let's be honest: A shopping trip to Birmingham can be daunting with the paid parking and general busy-ness of the town. Arriving at 10:00 AM (when they open) turned out to be wise. I was able to secure a nearby parking spot and was warmly welcomed into the store. Jan "Wright" took wonderful care of me- starting with an accurate measurement, listening to what I wanted, and helping me to feel comfortable with the process. I left with several items that are not only physically comfy, they look terrific! Harp's has managed to retain quality service while offering gorgeous items. I'll be back

When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and treated very well. The sales associate was knowledgeable, passionate, and very helpful. My daughter found a dress she loved, but she wanted to sleep on the decision before committing. While speaking with the owner and the sales associate, they were very encouraging and suggested I leave a deposit to hold the dress. Unfortunately, leaving that deposit turned out to be the worst decision. I left a $150 deposit thinking my daughter would most likely want that dress, or at the very least another dress from that shop. However, when she woke up the next day, she realized she didn't want that dress anymore. Three days later we went back to the shop to let them know. That's when I was informed that if we didn't keep the original dress, we would lose the $150 deposit completely. We couldn't apply it toward another dress, a purse, earrings, alterations, or anything else in the store. It was simply forfeited. I understand that holding a dress may prevent other potential buyers from purchasing it, and I understand that businesses need policies to protect themselves. However, I did not appreciate how strongly we were encouraged to leave the deposit, knowing how often teens change their minds. I feel like I was led into losing $150. This is simply a warning to other parents: do not leave a deposit unless you are absolutely certain about the dress, because if you change your mind, you will lose it.
