O’B. Tucker’s Bridal & Tuxedo

I don’t know about most of you brides-​to-​be, but I am one who does my homework. I have read «Bridal Bargains», so I think that I am quite knowledgeable when it comes to this whole dress-​shopping thing. I have scoured the internet and the bridal magazines searching for the dresses that I am interested in and which stores carry which designers. I’m not wasting my time going to stores that do not carry said designers. So I went to Tucker’s because I was moderately pleased with their web site, they are fairly close to my office and the web site stated that they carry Mori Lee dresses.
A friend from work went with me so we could look at one dress that I was in love with. We walked in and we were asked in a less than friendly manner if we needed help. I gave her the Mori Lee design number and she looked at me as if I had antennae coming out of my head. I would say that it was a solid minute before she headed to the ONE wall of bridal gowns that they had. She proceeds to tell me that all the dresses are samples, which I certainly expected. How many of us are walking into a bridal shop expecting to purchase our dress off the rack? As she is digging through the dresses, which clearly have the designer & dress design numbers listed on the bags, which makes me wonder why my telling her the Mori Lee number was so perplexing to her, she proceeds to tell me that the dresses run small. Thanks… my big ass is fully aware of this. I’m pretty sure a female would have to reside under a rock to not know this.
Regardless of any of the above, my biggest beef is that the web site states that they carry Mori Lee. Having about two dozen Mori Lee dresses does not equate to «carrying» Mori Lee in my opinion. For some designers, two dozen would be their whole line and I do understand that no store will have every dress by a designer; hence the purpose of trunk shows, but two dozen (and I’m probably being generous) is not near a substantial representation of the Mori Lee line.
Okay, I have probably been a bit over dramatic about this, but I was more than disappointed when I walked in this store and walked out five minutes later. In my opinion, don’t waste your time. Definitely call first and have them check if you are looking for something specific.
