    So, I delayed posting this for a minute because I wanted to ensure that my head was in the right…read moreplace. If you know me , you know that I am a laid back, mind my business individual. Until someone tries to hurt or disrespect my kids. My youngest is a senior in HS and I popped into town this weekend to take her dress shopping for prom. We drove to Raleigh to this place called Savvi Prom. When we walked in, we were greeted at the door warmly. The shop was full of high schoolers and their supporters; moms ,aunties, sisters, best friends, you name it. My daughter, close friend and I perused the selections and I finally convinced Smooch to try on some dresses. She was shy at first, but began to warm to the idea. This is where it went left. As I sat outside of the dressing room waiting for more dresses, my dear friend helped my daughter to zip one of the selections. One of the sales associates came up to me and asked why we were trying on dresses. As a matter of fact here's is the conversation. "What is this for?" Me: smiles, "It's for her senior prom" "What? SHE'S in high school? She looks old!" Me: (obviously irritated, but I will give grace because maybe she misspoke) "Wow, are you sure those are the exact words that you want say to me right now?" smirks, "Yeah, that's what I wanna say because she looks old! She looks older than me!' Me: How old are you? "I am 20!" Me: starting to see red ,"Is that all?" Enters second sales associate. "Wow, she's saying the exact same thing that I was thinking" They both start to giggle... Me: "Neither one of you have considered that my HIGH SCHOOL CHILD is in the dressing room listening to you. It would do you both a world of good to stop speaking to me and discussing my child" Other moms and daughters have witnessed this exchange and began to check in with my daughter and I to ensure that she is okay. My daughter emerges from the dressing room to put the dresses away and I insist that she leaves them and allow the sales girls to do their job. As we are leaving, one of the girls asks, "Were you thinking of anything else" I responded, Yes, I am thinking of leaving. I spoke with the owner, Denise, who seemed apologetic, but never made the girls apologize. I hate to do it, but we were one of few brown people in the shop. This is not what I drove here for. This is not the experience that my daughter should have had. She was hurt. She was discouraged. I wanted to act really ugly, but God. My baby is beautiful. She deserves better. Just wanted to make sure that everyone is mindful of where you spend your dollars during this season.

    The staff was super helpful but their prices were steep. Bargain rack didn't have one dress that…read morewas intact. Every single dress had broken beads, missing clasps or thread pulls. Besides that your choice is $330-$700. That's excessive for a junior prom. If you have a budget of $200 or less- skip this place.

    While I didn't find my exact gown here, the staff at Songbirds was incredibly knowledgeable, kind,…read moreand helpful! Olivia, Brinkley, and Leigh helped me try on over 10 dresses, gave my mother and me pointers on quality and alterations and how to pair items with the dress, and provided guidance and support. I really wish I could have purchased the dress from songbird, as they really did have a great selection. I just preferred an ivory to a mocha slip on the dress, which I found online (for $200 more... :-( ). Thanks again for all of your help and essentially bringing me to my wedding dress!!

    I have had several experiences with Songbirds, leaving me feeling very negative…read more I had some beautiful clothes, including designer labels, (Lilly Pulitzer, and other dresses from high end boutiques) and wanted to consign. The first occurrence was stopping by, and being ignored for a long time. When I inquired about consigning, the woman snapped that I needed an appointment to do so. Totally understandable. I called at a later time to set up at appointment, and the woman answering the phone was rude again. She barked about the having a long time before I could get at appt, and the rules about seasonal consigning. Again, fine, I figured she was busy and being direct. I set up appointment for weeks later. At the appointment, I arrived on time, and stood for a long time with an arm load of clothes being ignored. This should have been my sign to leave, but I waited. She sorted through my things, taking most, but making a comment about "Lilly Pulitzer doesn't really sell well, but we will take it." The whole interaction left me feeling very unwelcomed and weird. Again , fine, I was still willing to consign some clothes. When my time came around to pick up money, and the clothes that didn't sell, I arrived at the shop. I again was ignored for a long time. When I stood at the counter, the woman started helping me, then stopped to help another customer, then, a bridal appt. She literally walked off to deal with the appointment, never letting me know she was leaving. Finally another woman helped me, as she had a conversation with a different customer, the entire time. She handed me my money , as she talked to the other person. I collected my money, unsold clothes and left , vowing never to return. The vibe is completely off there, very tense, dark and unwelcoming. The shop even feels crowded, which would be perfect fine, if the staff was welcoming and nice. Prepare to feel like a less than intruder if you do business with them.
