"Your product was great; my wife loved the dress and all the compliments she received. Your service was great and the website is very good. The only caveat to the whole thing was that I had called you and you said that you didn't carry any gowns for any petites.  On a whim, we purchased a Tammara. My wife is 5" 1",  we were able to get the gown altered by my tailor and it looked great. We know this was only possible because of the way the gown was manufactured."
--John, Virginia

"Had several comments on how lovely my dress was. Your service was wonderful and I am thrilled with my dress."
--Pat, Fort Meade, FL

"Dear Barry and all. I purchased the lovely Paris gown last month. It is exactly as shown on the picture; the measurements provided allowed me to obtain the correct size, as well. The gown came in record time, and I can't wait to wear it in February for the opening of our golf club. Barry also responded immediately to my questions. I would not hesitate to recommend this site and to purchase again when needed.  He made buying on the internet a real joy.  Thanks."
--Susan, Phoenixville, Pa.

"I think your website is probably one of the easiest to navigate. In addition, your sizing is perfect.  I made the mistake of trying other plus size websites to order a gown for my niece’s wedding. Their sizes are sized small. I went from a 3X to 5X and still they did not fit properly. The bust was entirely too small. Then I came back to your website, ordered my size and it fit perfectly. I will never go to another website again.  Please keep up the good work." 
--Jane, New Jersey 

"I was very happy with my purchase.  I received my gown within a few days of my order.  I loved the gown.  It was a good fit and looked great.  I would definitely consider purchasing from TheEveningStore.com again and recommending you to others."
 --Patti, Jessup, GA 

"I was very impressed with your web site, my dress came sooner than I expected and it is very pretty. I go for a fitting very soon. I appreciated your letter in the package, letting me know things I may encounter when altering. Thank you again, its good to know you are there for any questions."
--Jan, Norton Shores, Mi. 

"Thank you Barry for your professionalism. I was in dire need of a gown, at the last minute, for a high profile event. When I accessed The Evening Store web site and not only viewed the selection of beautiful gowns, but also read the comments of satisfied customers, well I just took a chance. Your quick response to my email was very much appreciated. With my measurements, you said I was in between sizes and you sent me two gowns. They arrived the very next day! The gown was of high quality material and the fit was perfect! I received many compliments that evening; it was my pleasure pass on your site to several women who absolutely loved the gown I was wearing. Your loyal customer,"
--Renee, Hampton, Virginia 

"I was very happy with the dress I ordered and the prompt way in which it arrived. Thanks!!"
--Jodi, Hennepin County, Minnesota

"I can't tell you how happy I am with The Evening Store!!!! The website is easy to negotiate and the pictures are clear. The customer service is out of this world. The friendly service is not found in many places. Thanks for a great experience."
--Annie

"My name is Stacey and I am from Boca Raton FL. My situation was not unlike others. At the last minute (as in 3 days) I had a very important holiday event to attend. I was to accompany my husband and some very influential guests were to be attending. Needless to say I needed a gown and fast. I just happened to stumble across this web site, "The Evening Store". I wanted something different and not from a local boutique. The ease of the site was wonderful I found a dress within five minutes and they had my size. Still it all seemed too easy and I had no time to spare. I contacted Barry, I'm sure he heard the urgency in my voice. Barry was wonderful, however I did not know how wonderful until the night of the event. The event was for 7:30 PM and it was 6:30 that UPS arrived. I was in make- up, hair done and ready to slip into my gown. In the back of my mind was the possibility that the gown would not fit, even  though I was positive of my measurements (the gown was beaded and they tend to run small). Two dresses arrived  to my and my husband's surprise, one slightly bigger than the other. I was absolutely touched. In today's standards of customer service I was taken aback by the personal thought that was given to me. In the box was a note from Barry himself explaining to me that he wanted to be sure of the size and that he only charged for one dress. Dealing with big business, as I often do, an experience such as this is truly priceless. I loved the dress, received many compliments and made a few ladies smile with my story. Thank you Barry and The Evening Store. Best Regards,"
--Stacey, Boca Raton, Florida

"Barry, I don't know how to thank you. The dress was an absolute success, sending two sizes was not only altruistic of you but ingenious. I was made up and waiting in my robe for UPS, my event was at 7:30 and the dress arrived at 6:00. It was as if I was a rock star. Needless to say when I saw the two sizes I was touched and so was my husband. I had many compliments on my evening dress and I was sure to tell them where I got it. Best regards,"
-- Stacey, Deerfield Beach, FL

"I am very pleased with your website, the fast delivery and the purchase of the dress. I am appreciative of the quality and appearance of this dress. I am celebrating my 60th birthday with a formal dinner party, dancing and lots of fun. I look forward to looking great during my celebration."
 --Valerie, Virginia 

"My son's wedding was in November and the dress you suggested was beautiful and fit just right.  I had looked for two months and nothing would fit my big arms.  I could not believe that I gave you the measurement for my big arms and you found the perfect dress.  I received so many complements on my dress. You made my son's wedding perfect for me.  I have a nephew getting married in July and I already told his mother about your great store.  It looks like I will be calling you in a few months.  You are a life saver!!  Thank You!"
--Alicia in Texas

"I couldn't have been happier!  The dress I ordered is wonderful!  Thank you so much!"
--Deborah, Enderlin, ND

"Thanks for requesting my input. I absolutely love your website. I found a dress I fell in love with and called to see if they thought it would fit. They took all the information about my height and all measurements, passed the information on to you and you called me personally the next day telling me that I probably would like another style better. I took your advice and am so glad I did. I had the dress in two days. Amazing!!! The people who helped me on the phone when I first called were so kind and helpful. I was just blown over by the great service, quick delivery, follow-up, and can't think of enough good things to say about you and your staff."

"... Well, enough about how wonderful I think you and your team are...on with my thoughts about your products. I have only ordered one dress from you, but it was everything you said it would be. It required a few simple alterations which I was able to make myself. The dress is just gorgeous. I received it with time to spare and had time to purchase a new bag to match the dress, shoes and some jewelry to coordinate the perfect outfit (and I saved so much on the dress, I could afford to put some money toward the accessories!!!). I can't wait to wear it this weekend. I'll be checking out your website for all my upcoming events. I believe you really do care about what I have to say so I took the time to respond. Thanks for the great experience and customer service. I'm a poster child for The Evening Store!"
-- Dottie, Martinsburg, West Virginia 

"Barry, you have been so helpful to me.  I received my dress and it fits perfectly. It is so pretty and it looks great on me.  Thank you so much for all your help. I have already recommended the Evening Store to all my friends."
--Lorraine, Redwood City, California 

"When I originally ordered a dress for my sons' wedding which is in December you sent me two colors as I wasn't sure which would be best. I received them the next day, and they were both beautiful... Your service has been excellent especially since I had to send the dress back recently for a bigger size ...... I have told all my friends and family about your service and the quality of the dresses. Thanks so much and keep up the excellent service and caring about your clientele."
--Peggy, New Jersey

"Barry, the gown I ordered was perfect!  It fits great and will make a beautiful wedding dress. I thought that your personal attention to my order was wonderful and I felt like I was ordering from someone I could trust. I will definitely be ordering more dresses from The Evening Store.  Sincerely,"
-- Diane, Nixa, MO.

"I love the website. I loved the dress I picked out, I am losing weight, so the sizes were not right yet so I returned them. However  I will reorder the dress in a few months if available for the special occasion, the quality of the dress, and the helpfulness of customer service is wonderful. I would buy from this website, and refer people to the website. Thanks again"
--Jen, Ohio

"You saved my entire evening. Do not know what I would have done had I not found out about you. Your gowns are beautiful, look custom made. Your service/shipping is FANTASTIC!  The way that you shipped out a second size to me and a third style before I had even returned the first ones. I had a rush affair to go to -- a red carpet premiere in NYC and without finding your website- I never would have been able to attend. I will definitely be back for a wedding I have to go to in April.  I will be a customer forever. Thank you!"
--Janice, Connecticut

"I think that your website and your service are excellent.  I received my dress last week after careful measuring from me and good advice from you.  I was delighted with the dress and took it to a tailoress who is in the process of tailoring it to my figure. The dress, Connie, looks very good on and is flattering to my figure – my problem is that I have a generous bust but a small back.  Barry sent me the size up from the one I ordered as he correctly pointed out that a larger size can be altered but a smaller size can’t.  The lady who is tailoring the dress to fit my figure has 40 years experience in this kind of work and says that the size smaller, L, would not have fitted me as I am between sizes. I have been looking for months for a dress like this one, one to make me look and feel great as I am in recovery from a hysterectomy and was having a crisis of confidence in my femininity.  I will be wearing the dress on 10th December and I am really looking forward to the occasion. Thanks for your web site and thanks for your help."
--Julie,  Lancashire – UK

“Hi Barry. I would like to thank the Evening Store for such a stunning dress. I didn’t think I was going to get one at all. The amber dress is a stunner. It is for my daughter’s wedding next May. It took about 6 days to arrive. It was a little bit tight for me so I contacted Barry and within 5 days he had sent another one to me. Excellent service and communication. I would highly recommend the Evening Store. Thanks again”
--Gill from the United Kingdom 

"I thought your gowns were gorgeous, and your customer service was great.  I've told all my co-workers about your site.  Plus, you were very understanding about extending the return time."
--Sendai, Ontario, California

"My dress is beautiful!! I have never indulged in a dress like this before. I searched the web and found your website and pictures extremely helpful. The ordering process was effortless and the customer service was exceptional. Thanks!"
--Pam, Florida

"Dear Barry. I found you web site very helpful. I did a web search to find an evening gown for my daughter's wedding. The pictures were very helpful. The web site was very informative so that I knew that I could return the dress if I didn't like it. When I ordered the dress it was beautiful, but snug.  I just called & the next size was sent to me before I returned the current one. I am keeping the new size. It fits so well you would think it was made for me! (This is especially surprising to me since I wear a plus size.) I can't wait to wear it!"
--Diane, Granville, New York

"I recently received the dress I ordered from your web site & I couldn't be more thrilled. The quality is excellent, the information I received concerning care, alterations & cleaning of the dress are very informative. The dress fits perfectly & is extremely comfortable not to mention I feel beautiful in the dress. This was the first dress I tried & I couldn't believe it is perfect.  I really thought I would be shopping for a year to find the right dress for my daughter's upcoming wedding but "THANKS" to you I am ready for the wedding. Thank you for understanding what "WOMEN" need."
--Helen, New Jersey

"What a lovely ensemble! The beading is just beautiful and with the silk cut the way it is I didn't need alterations. This is sure to be worn again. Thank you,"
--Mary, Texas

"I wore Serena to the Governor’s Ball this weekend.  I looked and felt like the diva that I am. The dress fit perfectly with minor alterations, and it is truly gorgeous! I received so many complements. I really appreciate your terrific service and personal attention. It was nice to receive two dresses to try, and I was extremely happy with the one that I selected.  The dress was well made and held up beautifully through a night of dancing.  I know that if I need another formal gown I will be able to find one without ever having to get in my car.  Thanks for everything!" 
--Linda, Albuquerque, NM

"Hi Barry. The service from you store was just great info was tops, easy to understand,  best service in all areas."
--Eileen, Australia

"Thank you Barry, for a very pleasant, relaxing shopping experience.  I was concerned about shopping on line. After submitting my order, being very nerve about it I called to make sure it went through alright.  You assured me that it had and that every thing would go good, which it did. Your customer service is the best I have experience in years. I received my order in a very short time frame and the Mother's Dress is beautiful. Now I can relax and enjoy my daughters wedding in February, knowing I look great. The dress is beautiful,  a perfect fit, and I was amazed at your customer service. Thank you so much."
--Bonnie, Austin, Texas

"This was my first time dealing with The Evening Store and I was delighted to receive your wonderful, caring service.  You helped me get the right size; you sent things promptly; you were so patient and gracious, and the items I chose were just gorgeous.  I look forward to a long and very pleasant relationship with The Evening Store.  Many thanks."
--Virginia  USA.

"Dear Barry. Just wanted to let you know that the Dress I ordered was just perfect for my wedding. I would have replied sooner but my wedding was just last week and I just didn't have time until now. Your website is well designed and easy to navigate, very user friendly. Your return policy is also great even though I did not need to use it.  Service was excellent. I have had lots of positive comments on my dress and " where did I get it ?' so I am passing on your web information. Hope you get more orders. Thanks again..."
--Irene

"I received the evening gown and was very pleased with the quality etc. The fit was perfect for me....with just a few minor alterations! Your customer service and turnaround time was great.....it arrived as promised! I have shared my experience with your company with my friends and all were surprised. So many times we don't know what to expect from Internet ordering. You can be sure, I will call again. Also, I appreciate your willingness to allow me to place the order over the phone. Several companies will not accept phone orders from their web sites. Do you have a catalog? If so, please send me one."
--Peggy, Indianapolis, IN

"Barry, I thought your website was informative and your customer service impeccable.  I ordered a size that was too large and you immediately sent me one size smaller and it looks very nice.  I think you should add a few more non-beaded dresses to your ensemble however that might have larger appeal.  I will wear the mint green dress to my daughter's wedding next week which we think is very pretty.  Maybe you can add a few customer pictures on your website.  Thanks for the lovely dress, we can hardly wait for the big day."
--Theresa

"I am extremely pleased with how easy it is to deal with your company.  You are so accommodating and helpful. Other companies should learn about customer service from you.  I now own two of your garments and I recommend your site to many of my friends."
--Ann, Massachusetts

" I found the website easy to navigate and that you had a good selection. I will definitely return to the website in the future."
--Teresa,  Louisiana 

"I think that your web site, pricing, quality and customer service is outstanding.  I would definitely recommend your store and will do business with again."
--Carla, Cape Charles, Virginia

"We love everything we ordered from the Evening Store. Your web site is easy to use and I really appreciate it!!!!  You have the fastest delivery time of any business out there-you guy's are wonderful!! Thanks for a great shopping experience
--Dode, Moses Lake Washington

"Barry,  It was a pleasure to do business with you.  My order was handled in a timely manner.  I will contact you again in the near future!  Much thanks, "
--Jean, California

"Now that the wedding is over I have time to reply to your e-mail. I know it's been a few months since I purchased my dress from you.  I wanted to let you know that my dress was awesome!  It was so pretty and very well made. Everyone had nothing but nice things to say about how beautiful my dress was and, asked where I found it.  I would buy from you again!! Your wonderful dress helped make me feel like a princess that day. And looking wonderful for my Son's wedding was so important to me. Thanks so much!!"
--Katherine

"The dress arrived today Barry.  It only took a couple of days to get here! It is gorgeous!!!  I had to make a few alterations, but didn't have any problems.  I've never worked with a beaded dress before, but it wasn't hard at all.  It looks great.  You made it so easy and such a great experience doing business with you. I hate to order without being able to see and try things on, but I'll never hesitate again to order from you.  Thank you so much for your help."
--Dottie

September, 2005

"Barry - This is the second dress that I have ordered from The Evening Store in six months.  I was so completely satisfied with the first one that I wore for my son's wedding that I had to buy the dress for my daughter's wedding from your store also.  You can't beat the quality of the dress.  I, also, have never had so many compliments on a dress before."
--Mary Pat

"Thank you so much, the dress arrived in 7 days, which is excellent service to the United Kingdom.  The gown and bolero are a fantastic quality and I can't wait to wear them.  Also many thanks for all the information on alteration etc.  Fortunately, the dress fits like a glove (I had sent you my measurements), so I won't need any alterations but valued the information just the same.  I definitely will be shopping with you again, sooner rather than later!!  Again thank you for your excellent quality garments and excellent service. Yours sincerely."
--Eleanor, Wales, United Kingdom

"I thought your web site was great.  Lots of choices and colors are very clear.  Service was fast.  The dress came very quickly and packed very nicely."
--Maxine, USA

"I can't say enough about the quality of your dresses!  Over a five month period, I purchased, tried on, and returned six other dresses.  Then, I contacted your website and I was amazed at the professional manner in which my entire order process was handled, not to mention the beautiful dress I purchased!  The best part of my story was that I had to return my dress the first time because it was too small for me and it was getting very close to my wedding date.  I called and you promised me that another dress would be on my doorstep the very next day and it was!  I didn't have to return the first dress until it was convenient for me to do so and I was very impressed by that! Again, thank you for making my wedding day so beautiful. Regards,"
--Mary Lee, Fountain Valley, California, USA 

" I have been very impressed with everything about your company. I loved my dress the minute I saw it online, and it was even more beautiful in person. It fits like a glove, got here right on time, for my visiting daughter (bride) to see, and everyone agreed it was absolutely perfect for the wedding in Maui in March. Thank you so much for everything!"
--Cindy from California

"The Amber dress was perfect for my daughter’s wedding on 9/3.  We were looking for a grey/silver dress for 'the mother of the bride' that did not look like the usual 'mother' dresses.  I had just about given up when my daughter discovered your web site.  I placed my order on Monday and Friday I had the dress.  I loved the way I looked in the dress but was concerned about sitting down, so I called you that Saturday to order the next larger size.  Your company sent it out right away and I received it on Wednesday.  I like the fact that when I stated I would send the other dress back on Monday, you said keep it until I receive the other and compare.  This kept me from worrying if the other dress did not fit, what would I do. The service I received was outstanding.  I looked beautiful.  Did I strut down the aisle? You bet I did."
--Frances, Cleveland OH

 "The dress fit perfect and is BEAUTIFUL!!!   I wore it to my brothers wedding and received so many compliments!  You were a great help and offer such great quick service.  I have spread the word here in Northwest Indiana about The Evening Store!!  Thank you again!!  I will be shopping with you again soon."
--Lilly, Valparaiso, Indiana

"Your service was excellent and the product I ordered was beautiful--just needed a different size and more importantly a different color.  I needed the dress for a fall wedding.  It would have been perfect in a darker color.  I would recommend your web site to others."
-- Nancy from Nebraska

"Your Website is wonderful, although I would like to see more of a selection of products.  I have only used your store once but I have already recommended your site to several people due to the high quality of product and the most outstanding customer service that you deliver.  I ordered the wrong evening gown, I called and the other gown was delivered the next day, which I only had to pay for the shipping charges, no questions asked, no full charge. I look forward to using your website again. Thank you for everything."
--Debbie, Connecticut

"I love the dress that I ordered. I am going to get married in November. Thank you so much for all your help when I had to exchange it for a smaller size.
Patricia, Blairsville, GA

" I received my dress and it was perfect.  Your website was easy to order from and it was very prompt service and I would definitely recommend you."
--Thanks from Joanne in Michigan

"I ordered the dress 'Katherine'. Barry was so pleasant on the phone and very helpful in helping me get the proper size. I received the dress quickly along with the 'sister' dress that Barry sent to me at no extra charge, what trust! I just had to return the dress that I didn't want, but how nice to have a choice. Well... when "Katherine" arrived, I couldn't believe my eyes! It is the most glamorous, elegant dress that I have ever seen, and I have been searching for just the right 'Mother of the Groom' dress for a long time. Best of all it fit me to a T. I am very excited and can't wait to wear it to my son's wedding. I am sure all eyes will be on me as I walk down the aisle, thanks to that dress. Thank you Barry and The Evening Store!"
--Lynda, Buffalo, NY

"Hi, I ordered a dress from The Evening Store after looking hi and lo for a dress to wear to my daughter's wedding..... Everyone told me I was taking a chance ordering over the Internet, but I did anyway…it was the best order I had ever made….the dress was wonderful….I got a lot of  compliments…..I was very happy with it…..Thank You…I have told many people  about  your store……Thanks again"
--Teresa, Minnesota, USA

"The website is user friendly and well presented.  It pops up pretty high on Google searches which is great. The dresses are beautiful.  I have gotten many compliments on the dress I wore. The customer service I have to say is great especially for my schedule (in and out of town).  I was always leery of shopping for clothes online especially with my schedule but Barry made it easier and not cumbersome with his assistance.  He has gone above and beyond the call of duty and I would have to say he has displayed excellent customer care which rare to find even in store that pride themselves on it. I definitely have to say Kudos to Barry for excellent customer service and I have told my friends about it and will probably tell others I meet in the market for dresses i.e. peers at our site for the company holiday dinner dance."

"My Name is Titia  and I just last evening received my beautiful dress from you. I choose the Style named Dolly( I think that was the name it is Light pink with the beaded top and the edged sleeves) in a size 6X......yes I said 6X! I am a beautiful but rather LARGE woman and was having so much trouble finding a dress for my daughter's wedding. Oh I would go to the Bridal shops here in Delaware and they all told me that a size 24 or 26 would fit me for sure and I would say "I don't think so!" I know how big I am and then when I could not get them over my head and shoulders they would tell me " Oh our dresses tend to run a bit small!" Yes like I did not already know that! Well let me tell you that YOUR size 6X fits perfectly and is just loose enough to be comfortable and is so very very beautiful!!!! Barry I thought that I was going to have to wear a FAT GIRL feed sack type of dress with no beading or pizazzzzzzz but you made it possible for me to have the MOST BEAUTIFUL DRESS that I have ever seen!!! You are my HERO! This fat girl will be the most Beautiful Mother of the Bride come October 22 and I have you to thank for that. I shall tell everyone about you and how to reach you. If  you ever need a Plus Size Model I am your girl........now enough with the running on I am just so happy that I found you and wanted to tell you that you have made me feel complete as the Plus Size Mother of the Bride.  Sincerely,
--Titia, Delaware

“Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all your help in getting my dress for my son’s wedding. When I talked to you the first time and I couldn't decide between the Natalina and Dolly, you sent me both dresses and only charged me for one.  There aren't many people that would do this. I called you again and returned the Natalina and asked for a different size in Dolly. You did it and only charged for the shipping. I couldn't believe the service I received and how fast you shipped them out. It is amazing.  My son was married on July 23 and so many people said how much they liked my dress and asked where did I get it. I had bought another dress that I couldn't take back and I was glad that I found your store on the Internet. There aren't many places that sell mother of the groom dresses that don't look like old ladies dresses in plus sizes. It fit perfectly and I was comfortable in it all night. I have recommended you to many people and they can't believe that I bought it on the internet. People that I see even a month after are still talking about the dress and the color doing great things for me.  Thanks again and if I ever want to buy another dress you will be the first store that I will go to.”
--Vickie, Kansas

"Barry!  Your "Connie" gown is exquisite!!!  And the shipping was exactly on time... two days!!!  Your size recommendation was quite exact with only small adjustments needed to close the armhole a bit in the dress, take up the length of the bodice at the shoulders a bit and the only MAJOR adjustment was in shortening the sleeves on the jacket about 3"!  The seamstress who did the alterations was quite impressed at the construction of the garment and how easy it was to make adjustments! Please add my comments to your list of testimonials.  Even though I am a quite large lady, I was confident and even ravishing (I've been told) for my daughter's quite elegant, evening wedding!!  I couldn't be happier!  Thanks again!"
--Karen, Missouri/Texas

"I am very impressed with The Evening Store.  My dress was too small and I returned it and received another size within a few days at no extra cost.  I highly recommend this website to anyone that needs a beautiful dress for an extra special occasion.  I bought my dress for my daughter's wedding and although I have not worn it yet I have received many compliments on it.  Thank you evening store and thank you Barry, you have made my wedding stress a lot easier."
--Mary Kaye, West Virginia,  USA

“I went on a lot of web sites looking for the perfect dress for my daughter’s wedding in October. When I viewed your site the dress I had pictured in my mind popped right out at me. You had the most elegant evening gowns at a reasonable price. The customer service I received was also outstanding. The first dress I received didn't fit and without a question you sent me a new size to try. It fit perfect! I returned the dress that didn't fit without any problems. I will certainly recommend "The Evening Store" to friends and family that are looking for that special dress. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Sincerely”
--Sheila, Connecticut

Hello Barry,  I am sure that this is a computer generated email and that you did get my personal message that I love my dress and that it is perfect.

--Larry,  Santa Maria, CA

"Your website is exquisite!   The photos are beautiful.  I can't wait to receive my dress because I know it will be just as beautiful as the photo."
--Susan, Tucson, AZ

"Your web site is easily navigated and shows your dresses off nicely. I was more than happy with your service. You are easy to work with and very helpful. The dress I ordered was just beautiful, but when I got it home I realized it was not right for the event I was going to. Otherwise, the quality, style and everything else about it was excellent quality. I would definitely do business with you again. Sincerely,"

--Kim  from Florida

"The service was outstanding and the dress is beautiful. Thank you for your very efficient professional service."

"Barry. I called about a month before I was to attend a wedding to see if you could order a large size dress for me that was not listed on your web site. You assured me it would be no problem and you took the information and placed the order and followed up with me on a weekly basis as to the progress.  I received the dress a week before the wedding.  I tried on the dress and it fit beautifully!  I was so pleased at the fit and the quality.  As I have purchased from other internet sites and have had to send the items back due to not fitting correctly or the quality was not up to par.  When I pulled out the HANNAH dress in black and saw all the intricate beading and the quality of the material, I was so pleased!  I immediately tried it on and it fit like a glove I was so happy as I am due to wear the dress on Saturday, 09/03/2005. I will no longer be looking at the department store or other sites as you have a great selection and your quality and attention to detail is outstanding.  Also, you customer service is simply outstanding.  If you say you are going to call you do and you do not make the customer feel as if they are bothering you when they call to check on the item. Thanks Barry for all your hard work and efforts. I am going to recommend you to my friends and family for all their black tie wear and I will definitely be back!
--Cheryl, Missouri

"The dress is marvelous!!!!  Thanks for being patient with the returns, but everything turned out just fine.  Look forward to doing business with you again"
--Jackie, North Carolina

"I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am with my new dress! I have had this dress in mind for a while with no success in finding it shopping locally. Then when I saw it on the net it had to be mine. I love it and with a few small alterations it will be perfect. Thank you for all your help. Regards."
--Mary-ann

"I would like to thank you, and The Evening Store everything.  I went to many Bridal shops and tried on the same old dresses that everyone does.  I saw the Amber dress and fell in love with it.  I had never seen a dress that I liked quite as much, and I know there won't be another dress at the wedding like mine. I think it is wonderful that when you have a question about the dress you can call and talk to you about it. Thanks again for everything."

"I was so happy with my dress I got from The Evening Store! It was so beautiful! I had as many compliments as the bride, I'm sure. And your prices are so outstanding...........  Several years ago, for our oldest daughter's wedding, I bought a similar dress with lace, pearls and sequins, etc. The only difference was the price! I paid 3 times as much and it was on sale!!! Amazed me when I ran across almost the same dress at your store for 1/3 the price! I will never forget the name of your store or the fast service and help I got from you.  And I've already told so many ladies your name when they ask me where I got my lovely dress! Word of mouth is the best way I know to spread the great name of The Evening Store!!!!!!!!!! Again I Thank YOU"
--Janet

"I would like to thank you for your wonderful web site and beautiful dresses.  My daughter was getting married and I couldn't find a nice dress anywhere in nearby cities or on the web.  Fortunately I found The Evening Store and found my dress!!!  Barry was so kind, the first dress was too big and with four days before the wedding sent me another size and told me to keep the first one to compare, and return which ever one I didn't wear, after the wedding.  Thank you so much, I will certainly shop with The Evening Store in the future and have given the web site address to women who loved the dress at the wedding.  Thank you again."
--Lori, Plummer, Idaho USA

"Barry, the dress is absolutely gorgeous! I have shown it to a lot of my friends and they just can't believe the dress I got for the price! I was really impressed when you sent me a medium and a small so that I could get the right fit! There are not many companies that would do that. Thank you!"
--Merri, North Carolina

"I was very pleased with the ease of ordering from your web site, the high quality of your gowns and your helpful customer service.  I will keep ordering my evening wear from you in the future!"
--Rosemary, Los Gatos, CA  

"Your website was easy to use and I received my items promptly. They are absolutely beautiful. Thanks!"
--Tara, Brooklyn, NY USA

"I can't say enough good things about your service.  Barry was always pleasant and eager to help.  I am very pleased with the lovely dress I will be wearing to my son's wedding! Thank you."
--Kathy, Nottingham, Maryland

"The Evening Store is fantastic, I love the dress. I have shown it to several friends and their mouths dropped, when I told them the price and the service I got. You and your company are so customer orientated it was a pleasure to do business with you.  I'll be back that's for sure."
--Pat, North Fort Myers, Fl

"Your site, your product and especially your customer service are that of America had not seen for a long time. The dresses are beautiful, your site is easy and convenient and you customer service is SUPERB!!! Good luck!"
--Nourit , North Hollywood, California.

"I am most impressed with The Evening Store's customer service.  Ordering products via the internet can often times be very impersonal, but I never felt that way with The Evening Store.  Your customer service, before and after the sale was top notch!  The dress I received is just beautiful.  It's at the seamstress' right now being altered and I received many compliments on it from other customers waiting in the shop.  Your website was very easy to navigate through, my only suggestion is that when a dress is available in more than one color, it would be helpful to have a picture of the dress is the other color(s) as well.  I'm just the type of person who needs to see the product in the color I'm ordering, to get a full sense of what it will look like on me. Overall though, my total experience of ordering my dress from The Evening Store was fantastic!  I would definitely recommend you to my friends and family.
--Nancy, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 

"Love the dress!  It is perfect.  I had been stressing over finding a dress for my son's wedding and once my order arrived I was so relieved. I have been recommending your web site to everyone.  The customer service was fantastic.  Before I ordered I called and spoke with Barry, gave him my measurements and he told me the size to order.  I ordered my dress on a Monday and received it on Wednesday.  Thank you for making everything so simple.
--Dawn, Wyoming

"The dress was perfect; comments were effusive, The event, Our 50th Wedding Anniversary was a great success.  Thank you.  I have given your address to all my friends and acquaintances who asked wherever I found such a stunning dress."
--Sincerely, Marianne K. 

"I thank you so much for sending two dresses for me to try on. The one I had originally picked fit perfect in the new size so I sent the other one back to you yesterday. I thank you for your kindness and I will certainly remember you and your email address so if I hear of anyone needing a dress I will send them your way. Great thing too...I had a silk purse and shoes from a previous affair and they match this gown perfectly so no need to buy a new purse and shoes! Great savings there! :-)
Thank you once again...I will send a photo once the wedding pics come back."

" The dress was wonderful and so was your quick service.  I received so many compliments on the dress.  I cannot thank you enough.  I would recommend your web site to anyone.  Thanks so much for saving the day for me."
--Chrystie, GA

"Wonderful."
-- Madonna, Kentucky

"You have no idea how blessed I was to find your company.   Bottom line - after some $1000 investment in my wedding dress, only half of it arrived for my big day. The week of my wedding - I found your company. I proudly walked down the isle in my red dress as my statement of faith that life has curve balls and we survive them. Your dress was a HIT - my family and friends raved about the RED.  The dress was classy, needed NO alteration and was 'comfortable' aboard our yacht wedding!! THANK YOU -  I will use your company for my future needs!! Only glitch - was shipping address blunder, your delivery arrived one day late."
--Wanda

"Just wanted to let you know the dress is gorgeous.  I am so pleased with the quickness in which I received the order and the quality of the dress."
--Joanie, Texas

"I am writing to express my great satisfaction with the gown I recently purchased from your website.  I had searched literally for months for an appropriate mother-of-the-bride gown for my mother; then, I discovered your website.  I ordered the Natalia gown which I received today.  The gown is absolutely stunning.  When I first saw it online, I knew it was the perfect gown for my mother.  Upon receipt, I am extremely satisfied with our selection.  The gown is simply gorgeous; the quality of the product surpassed all my expectations.  Additionally, the measurement guidance provided on your website helped us select the best fit for my mother.  I just want you to know that purchasing this gown from your website helped bring closure to one of my critical wedding planning items.  I am an extremely satisfied customer. With Sincerest Thanks."
--Sonja

"I like my dress very much, am having it tailored for me.  I love the color, beaded pearls, etc. It's a very comfortable dress.  I am looking forward to wearing it for my son's wedding in late August."
--Linda, PA

"Sorry for the delay in responding, but I had to wait until after the affair to reply.  I want to thank The Evening Store for all of their assistance.  Your Web site (TheEveningStore.com) was helpful in choosing a dress for the mother-of-the-bride.  If I need a dress for another occasion, your Web site would be the first place I would check.  The dress arrived right as scheduled and I also appreciate the choices I had for a return/replacement.  The dress I ordered was beautiful and all though I was the not best-dressed person (I left that up to the bride), in my opinion, I was the best-dressed mother-of-the-bride. Thanks for all your assistance."
--Mary, Washington DC

"My dress arrives at the hotel in time for my conference  gala.  I was more than pleased, and received many compliments.  Thanks for the special attention you paid me, I have and will recommend your store to my friends and family.  And it goes without saying, I will be shopping with you again. Thanks,"
--Bonnie, Pittsburgh, Pa.

"I have to say that your company was so accommodating in my "hour of need".  When I ordered my dress I did not realize it was as "white" as it was.  Being the mother of the groom, I certainly did not want to compete with the bride.  On Tuesday before the wedding the next Sunday, I frantically called your office and not only did you send me another dress, but you sent me 2 in different shades of blue, at no charge other than shipping, and asked only that I send 2 dresses back to you.  I got them Thursday, had the dress tailored Friday and picked it up Saturday.  I have been bragging to anyone who will listen about the extraordinary customer service.  I was born and raised in NY, so it is no surprise to me, that when the chips were down, you guys came through.  Thank you so very much!"
--Marie, Concord, CA

"I am very happy with the dress, it fit me to a tee. I will be wearing it to my daughters wedding in August. You were right when you told me what size to order. I looked everywhere for a dress, I can't tell you how many stores I visited and they are all for old ladies. I love my dress.  I am very happy with the service from everyone."
--Helga, Michigan

"You saved my life.  My youngest son is getting married, and I had just found the color choice my daughter in law wanted. I couldn’t find the dress I liked in the color anywhere.  I did find it on your site, it was perfect, the delivery was very fast and the price was within what I wanted to spend.  Thank you."
--Linda

"Your web site was probably the best I have ever used.  I had a wedding to go to and being "plus sized" made finding a pretty dress seem impossible.  Not only did I find my size, but a variety of beautiful styles from which to choose.  When the dress didn't fit right, the new size was on it's way before I even sent back the first one.  I was amazed.  I will definitely purchase from you again, as well as recommend your web site to friends. Keep up the good work! Thank You."
--Danielle, Connecticut

"When I first visited theeveningstore.com (found it by Googling "mother of the bride gowns") I read the testimonials about how flexible and reasonable you are, and there were so many of them! I was still skeptical, though.  However, I found out that you are selling good-quality dresses, and the service really can't be beat.  When I wasn't sure what size I needed, you allowed me to take delivery of two dresses while paying only for one, with the promise that I'd return the one I didn't use.  I couldn't believe you would do that, but you did, and I thank you for helping me make sure I got the right dress. I know you'd like to hear if there is anything you can do better so you can improve your business, but I'm sorry.  I can't think of a single thing I would have had you do differently."
--Connie, Minnesota

"I was very impressed with your service and the quality of your merchandise.  I returned one item and the credit was given promptly and without any problem at all."
--Twyla, USA

"I loved my dress when I received it.  Could not believe how beautiful it was.  I was a little worried about the odor, but it seems to be better after I took it out of the bag for a while.  Just want you to know how much I loved the dress.  I will feel like a queen at my daughter's wedding."
--Teresa

"Barry:  I talked with you today.  What a beautiful dress.  I just love it and it fits perfectly.  Thanks for making such wonderful apparel so affordable."
--Amy, Michigan

"Very very pleased with the gown I ordered....also phone questions were addressed by pleasant and informative person...I had no time to shop and thought I'd give EveningStore a try....I have never, ever seen a return policy this consumer-friendly. package arrived in 2 days, as promised and dress was perfect...not to mention the price was very reasonable....I will use EveningStore again,  and have already recommended it to several friends...I'm a very very satisfied mother of the groom!!!"
--Barbara, Alabama

"Oh my gosh Barry, I received my dress today and I can't believe it is so beautiful. It is much, much  more,  than I expected. I am so thankful I found your web site. This dress called, Amber, is absolutely  breath taking. I can't wait for my son's wedding now. I feel like I will be Beautiful!  The dress fits perfectly and needs no alterations.  You really know your stuff. Thanks for the help with choosing the right size. I look forward to having the chance to buy from you again.   Gratefully yours," 
--Regina, Hamilton, Ohio

"I was very, very pleased with the dress.  I just loved it  - (as well as most others).  I had done a lot of  looking but couldn't find the style and quality that I was seeking.  The styles or appropriateness of dresses  available elsewhere were not even close in comparison to the one I selected at your store. The color and  quality was just as described on the site and much higher quality than what I had found in  local bridal salons.  I received the order in just 5 working days. The service was excellent and I found the advise given to me by e-mail was very helpful.  I would recommending this site to others and would not hesitate to buy from your store again.  A positive experience in all aspects."
--Amelia NL Canada

"We purchased a beautiful gray beaded silk dress for our current production of THE WOMEN. The dress was perfect. The actress looks like a million bucks. The website was very easy to use. We will definitely use your store again."
--Nancy, Hayward, California

"I would like to personally thank you for your assistance in helping my Mom with her measurements and in helping her select just the right dress for my wedding day.  My Mom looked beautiful...She felt wonderful and it showed !! She radiated.  I am forever a admirer of your site and the dresses.  I have and will recommend your site to everyone!! Thanks Again...."
--Nancy and Arlene (Mother of the bride)

"Dolly is the most beautiful dress I have ever seen.  I have gotten so many compliments on it.  It seems the fashion industry has forgotten us over 60 women. This dress covered my neck and arms and looks so good. I am wearing it to my son's wedding in North Carolina. I shipped him the dress since I will be driving across country and he said it arrived without wrinkles.  Amazing.  Thank you Barry."
--Pat, Oklahoma

"Thanks for your prompt service and lovely items. The Katherine dress worked well for me, although I would’ve preferred Tammara with the v-neck. Alas, I had waited too long to order and it was not available in my size, once we figured out that 3X was going to be too big (after trying on). The 2X fit like a glove. Hemming several inches of the dress cost $90 – I’m just over 5’6” and the dress “as is” was floor length, which wasn’t quite appropriate for the occasion and I was afraid I’d trip on all that material. Still, compared to what I saw in the better shops in Fort Lauderdale, your dress was a good value for all the workmanship. My only problem was that there were wooden pews in the church at the wedding I attended, and the sequins/beads on the back (“seat area”) of the dress caused me to slide around in the pew! Had to brace myself with my high heels or I would’ve ended up on the floor!
Having seen both Katherine and Tammara 'in person,' I would say that your web site doesn’t really capture the very different patterns of the beading. Katherine had parallel lines/rows of beading and Tammara was more flowery and swirly. It must be difficult to photograph the beading, though. Not sure how it could be improved upon, really.
One final note: Thank you for offering a fine selection for us 'plus size' ladies. I look forward to ordering from you in the future. Sincerely,"
--MJ in Florida

"Barry, I wanted to wait until after I attended my son’s wedding to respond.  As I expected I received many compliments on my dress.  Thank you for providing plus size formal dresses that mature women do not have to wait 8 weeks to receive.  The color was perfect and it only needed minor alterations. Your customer service was excellent ! !  It was a pleasure doing business with you and TheEveningStore.com.  I have praised you to all the women who have asked where I purchased my beautiful dress. I was very distraught trying to find a formal plus size dress for my son’s wedding, as sometimes circumstances don’t always allow 6 – 8 months to order dresses.  By the time I found your website and was able to purchase not only a formal dress in my size but the perfect dress, I was in tears and an emotional wreck. Thank you for making me look perfect for my son’s wedding. I will continue to recommend TheEveningStore.com."
 --Bonnie
 
"I wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much I appreciate your trusting, friendly service. After ordering and receiving my 'Dolly' dress, I realized it was the wrong size for me and called you for a replacement.  However, I was 'between' sizes and didn't know which replacement size to ask for. You, unbelievably, offered to send me both new sizes to try without further charges and with free shipping, no less!  All this, and I hadn't even returned the first dress yet!
The picture on your web site doesn't do this dress justice.  It is absolutely beautiful in person and had all the quality of the dresses I looked at in bridal shops and specialty stores, at a fraction of the cost.  I was very happy to find that one of the replacements fit me perfectly. I would not hesitate to recommend your site to people that I know.  Thank you for making this shopping experience one of my best ever!
--Regards, Patricia, Buffalo, New York

"This was my first on-line order that I ever made!  And because it was so user friendly, I decided to give it a try.  Also because of your satisfaction policy, that was an added incentive to make my purchase.  Since my purchase, which arrived a day earlier than expected, I have been able to email you directly! And get a response the same day!! I also took advantage of getting a different size for no additional charges other than postage!  How great is that!!!!  I have been looking at the mint green Natalie dress for months and I am going to look awesome in it for my daughter’s wedding later this month.  Especially being a 4X in size makes it extremely difficult to find nice clothing in that size.  THEEVENINGSTORE.COM is my angel!  And I’m telling everyone, too!"
--With thanks, Marian, Pennsylvania 

"I am very much satisfied with your web site. It was easy to find what I was looking for. I am always skeptical of ordering clothes on the web, but the quality of the dress is excellent. I will look again on your web site when the need arises."
--Thank you, Suzanne, South Carolina, USA  

"Yes, the website is very user friendly and the service was great.  I received my dress on Friday and really love it! "
--Pam, California

"I ordered a dress for my son's wedding from The Evening Store.  I must say I was impressed with the dress, the package wrapping/shipping and the timely arrival of the shipment (less then 4 days!)  My neighbor is a seamstress, and only had to shorten the dress, everything else fit fine (I used the guide for sizes on the website)  Thanks so much, I am "spreading the news" about your website!
--Peggy, Buffalo, New York

"Dear Barry. The dress arrived this afternoon and is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for your superb service - will certainly shop with you again. Kind regards.
--Sue, U.K.

"Nice website, very informative, pictures great. The entire order process very easy and quick. I will order again and tell others about your site. Thanks."
--Linda, Scottsdale, Arizona

"Service was wonderful, great product.  Thanks so much.  I am keeping the 3X size and returned the 4X this evening.  Your patience and assistance in making sure I got the right fit was greatly appreciated.  I will refer my friends to your site and will be back in the future.  Thanks again."
--Dena, Austin, Texas, USA

"I am happy to respond to your request for feedback because my wife and I were so pleased with the transaction we recently completed with you.  The dress is lovely and fits well.  It was delivered astonishingly promptly, and your web-site was easy to use.  It was a pleasure doing business with y'all, and you can be confident we will do so again. Cordially,"
--John, Langhorne, PA

"My wife needed a dress for our daughter's wedding, unable to find something locally, we found your website. We liked the Natalia dress in the pictures you had online, so she figured her size and we ordered it, we she got it, it was better than we thought it might be, it also fits perfect, she will not need any alterations. Thank you for your help.'"
--Rick

"The Dress is more than I expected, it fits just right. The only thing is the coat part is a little on the heavy side, but the beading makes it that way. I have passed your website on to some gals at work who are having a wedding. I can't tell you how very easy this all was. When people ask 'Did you get your dress yet and where did you get?'  I answer sheepishly 'online'. They look at me with their mouth open and say 'You're brave.' I am as surprised as they are that it all worked out well. So hats off to you Barry, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will gladly recommend your website. Thanks Again."
--Sincerely, Linda, Howell, N.J.

"I loved shopping at your store.  I purchased a dress for a very special occasion, it wasn't quite the right size, but the replacement arrived before I mailed the original back.  The quality and price of the gown were fantastic, and I looked like a million bucks.  Thank you for your great service and your lovely gowns."
--Shelley, New Mexico

"The website was easy to navigate and I was able to see each garment in detail. I also appreciated the rush service on my top for my nephew's wedding! I loved the item and not only did it look good, it was comfortable which so many beaded garments are not. I will definitely check your line of products first for my next big evening event..."
--Joy, Oneonta, NY

"Hello Barry. I loved the dress.  My daughter is getting married in July and I was looking for just the right dress to wear to the wedding. Thank you for your quick response to my order."
--Mary Jane

"I just received my dress and it fits beautifully.  I was not sure about what size to order so I sent my measurements and ordered the size that was recommended.  I am very happy with my purchase. Thank you very much I certainly feel like the mother of the bride now."
--Lorraine, Redding, CA

"The dress was exquisite and Mom looked so elegant.....We ordered the 'Tamara' dress in navy blue......
Your website is wonderful and the dress was just how it looked on the website...Thanks for being the best in your field!"
--Cristina for Lia

"1. Site is good. I used Google search for 'embroidered' and/or 'sequined'  and/or 'beaded' evening jacket and many sites misrepresented what they had but YOURS was TRUE.
2. Products are excellent; I already have worn one jacket at an event and got great comments--and this was in Dallas, completely blasé about glamour. (I removed the fake-fur trim but it was EASY because it had been well-stitched to the jacket. Jacket looks heavenly without it.)
3. Customer service was excellent because the shipment arrived beautifully packed and in good order AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE...a sure sign that you do things right the first time."
-- Dallas-area Consumer

"Had a great experience with The Evening Store. The first dress I ordered was too large, so the smaller size was sent at once, received in 2 days. Very smooth transaction. Thank you."
--Victoria, Pickerington, Ohio

"Thank You!!!!! My gown is beautiful and is a perfect fit.  I really appreciate that you carry beautiful, up to date clothing for the plus size woman.  I will be the best dressed woman at my nephew's wedding!"
--Sincerely, Anne 

"I wanted to let you know what a pleasant shopping experience it was dealing with the eveningstore.com. When the dress I ordered arrived it was a beautiful dress. The only problem with it was that it was too big. When I called to have a smaller dress sent, I was told that it would be sent right away, and it was. When the smaller size arrived it fit perfectly, it doesn't even need any alterations.  It really was a no-hassle return. Thank you."
--Peggy, New York

"Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU  for the ease in making my purchase. The web site was easy to find, I have not heard of The Evening Store before. The customer service the best, and the top FIT. I wish I had more black tie events to attend so I could purchase more items from you, but will soon. I wanted to be sure that the top would fit so I ordered it in plenty of time. I was so happy to receive the item early. No need for alternations. I am thrilled. Thanks for being there for us." 
--Joanne, Phoenix, AZ

"Hello Barry. The website was easy to navigate and held useful information specifically in relation to sizes and tailoring – crucial to purchasers like me from the UK. Purchasing was easy and your prompt response was reassuring. The parcel arrived within a few days and the carrier was most helpful and security conscious. The dress was a major purchase for me, although good value, and it was a worry not being able to try on the dress before buying but I was reassured by your returns advice and promise. Having paid close attention to the advice on the website I am delighted to report that the dress is perfect for me. It may need a slight alteration to the length or a higher heel – I have not yet decided. The event I am attending takes place on 20th May and I am looking forward to it in the knowledge that my dress will make me look the best I possibly can. Thank you for being there."
--Tracey, UK

"Website - The best thing about it is it was so easy to find and navigate. Customer Service - Platinum level!!  I have just one thing to say about it. You need to teach it! Product - High quality, and the dress is actually prettier than the picture."
--Tina, Massachusetts

"Loved the website, liked that I could save things in my cart & come back later & they'd still be there.  Was great to reach a live person on the phone--customer service was the best on the web.  Most impressive was the return policy which made you feel comfortable about buying clothes on the web as you were able to return them easily if anything wasn't right. Thanks."
--Laurie, California

"I was AMAZED at the level of customer service I received!  The first dress I ordered did not fit.  You not only sent me another dress to try on, but you insisted that I keep the first one so that I could compare the two and then decide which one to keep.  I have never heard of a company acting in such trust before.  In the corporate world of today, TheEveningStore.com is a standout!!!  I was also amazed at the prices.  I never thought I could so easily afford a dress so beautiful.  I will be very proud to wear this gorgeous dress as I witness the joy at my son’s wedding.  Thank you so much for being the people you are.  You have my forever business. Very Sincerely,"
--Venus, Indianapolis, IN

"I am extremely pleased with the dress I ordered for my daughter's wedding.  Not only is it beautiful, it is very well made, and fits perfect!  The service I received was excellent and you took care of my exchange without any problems.   I have another daughter getting married soon so I will be contacting you again.  Thanks for making this part of the wedding planning easy for me!"
--Linda, North Carolina

"I am very pleased with the service I received.  The dress was beautiful and was worth every penny.  Talk about last minute shopping!  I was desperately seeking to find a formal gown 3 days before the wedding.  That's difficult enough, but having to find one in a "plus-size" was pretty much asking for a miracle!  I had never even heard of The Evening Store until I surfed the web that very same day.  What a blessing!  The services you provide are excellent--from the assistance you gave me with the sizing all the way through the overnight delivery.  You were indeed a life-saver!  Nowhere else would I have been able to receive a dress two days before a wedding!  Thank you so much for all your help and I will definitely spread the word to friends and family about the beautiful dresses you have and the pleasant experience I had shopping with your store."
--Missy, Texas

"Just a line to say the dress is lovely just what I hoped, the fit is ok,  the service and delivery was excellent, I wouldn't hesitate to use you again and am already recommending you to family and friends, Thank you."
--Susan, Cambridgeshire England.

"Fabulous clothes.  So glad I found you.  The pants I ordered fit perfectly and I was the belle of the ball ... something I feared I could never be again at my current girth.  Thanks.
--Melinda, Tennessee

"I was frantically looking for a Mother-of-the-Groom dress and checking internet sites of everything and anything I could think of. I found yours and was I delighted by what I found and bought!! I fell in love with the navy blue V-neck and LOVE IT! It's perfect for the gorgeous evening wedding we are planning in June. Thank you! Thank You!"
--Diana, Florida.

 "I was impressed by your web site and your service.  The dress was received when promised and unfortunately, I had to return it, but I received my credit in a timely fashion.  I will definitely look at your company again if I need the same type dress."
--Chris, Wisconsin

"Your website is very easy to use.  I like the size of the lettering.  This make is easy to read.  All the information regarding returns, shipping and other policies is easily found.  The sizing charts make the process virtually mistake proof.  If there were one suggestion I would make:  having the gown length might be helpful. We are entirely pleased with our purchase. Thanks"
--Cindy, Ohio

"The website is great and I was very pleased with the dress I ordered.  The shade of the dress was a little off from what is displayed online but it works just fine.... thanks for your help, Barry.... Sincerely,"
--Alice, New York

"Your website, customer service, and products are exceptional.  I loved the dress but my family didn't like the color and I needed it for my son's wedding. I am still looking, so I may come back if I can't find anything else.  Thank you so much for all your excellent help and great service.  I have already recommended your site to others. Sincerely,"
--Dena

" I am happy to say that my dress arrived and it's absolutely beautiful! You were so helpful and knowledgeable in your trade.  All I did was send my measurements and you went straight to work.  The first dress wasn't quite the right size but in a matter of a few weeks, you had the correct size ordered and here before I could blink an eye.  It's perfect!!!  Thank you for making this experience a very pleasant one."
--Carol, Boston MA

"I am absolutely thrilled I found your website and have already told numerous friends about it.  The first dress I ordered did not fit properly and when I called you, you immediately shipped a different size - without even waiting for the original dress to return.  What amazing customer service!  I will certainly be a repeat customer.  Thanks!!!"
--Pam, Charlotte, VT

"Thank you so much for the great customer service and beautiful classic dress. I was having a hard time finding a dress for my sons wedding. I’m only 43 and most Mom dresses looked old and frumpy. I just came across your web sight checking out ideas, not even dreaming I’d buy a dress online. Well the dress fits perfectly and my shopping was very easy. Was a pleasure and I love my new dress."
--Ann

"I was very impressed by your website!  The customer service was wonderful - a call to confirm my order, a call to make sure I received my order.  The dress that I purchased actually fit me as if it were made for me.  It is everything I wanted it to be.  Thank you very much for the wonderful service."
--Mary Pat, Michigan

"I received my dress in the mail today!  It is absolutely gorgeous.  I couldn't be happier!  I know I'll look wonderful on May 29th when I attend my oldest nephew's wedding in Tampa FL. I will share your wonderful website with my friends! Many, many thanks!"

"I just received the dress this afternoon and it exceeded even my wildest expectations!  Perfect in every way and absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous.  Thank you!"
--Kate, Galveston, Texas

"All I can say is you guys are the best! I called Barry on a Saturday morning and he answered the phone! I told him my Mother was very ill, and on the Hospice program. My son was getting married the next Saturday and my dress was not a priority because of tending to my mother. I had been out looking that week every day, and could not find anything that would be appropriate. I have a pear shaped figure, and wanted something with sleeves, and a waistline to flatter. I did not want a long jacket, with a straight dress under it and that was all I could find. I was frustrated, anything close was in black--and that did not work for me. I saw the photos of the dresses, they were perfect! Simple and Elegant. I called Barry for the size and the two dresses were to me by Tuesday! They did everything they could to accommodate me, you have no idea how much I appreciated every effort The Evening Store made. The wedding was beautiful, I felt like a Queen. Thank you! I would highly recommend you to anyone. Respectfully,"
--Theresa, Anaheim Hills, CA.

"I just received my dress that I ordered. It arrived in great condition and fits beautifully. I guess that is rare but I am well pleased. The dress is just as it appeared online and I am happy about that. Thought you might like to hear from a satisfied customer once in a while. Thanks for the prompt attention to my order."
--Ann - Kansas 

"I have nothing but good things to say about TheEveningStore.com.  The website is wonderful.  I looked in several stores locally for a dress to wear to my daughter's wedding in June 2005 without any success.  One of my daughter's sent the website to me and my other two daughters.  When we saw this dress, we all said that 'This was the Dress'!  The picture of the dress that I purchased looks exactly like the one that I received.  The photo also gave me ideas on the accessories to wear, the type of shoes and the color nail polish to wear with my fabulous dress to my daughter's wedding! Your customer service was great. I received a return E-mail from you within the hour with the appropriate size that I should order.  In addition, your e-mail included the helpful tip that my size was in stock and that I should order right away since the dress was in great demand.  I received the dress within one week of my order.  The package included helpful tips for alteration that was very much appreciated.  I will be recommending TheEveningStore.com to my friends who want excellent quality evening wear!! The Evening Store is extraordinary. "
--Delois

"Thank you for taking the time to ask if I am a satisfied customer....the answer is YES!!  The dress that I ordered was beautiful, the picture online did not do it justice.  I was very pleased with how promptly the order shipped, how well it was packaged and now the follow up.  I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend your store or to place another order. Thanks Again,"
--Mary, Uniontown, Pa.

"My Gosh !!! Barry, Thank you a million times! I got my package of beaded top and silk pants on March 24, 2005 exactly two days after my order and talking to you on the phone. I was worried about the size being too small.  Well! It fit perfect top and all.  One thing for sure, you know your business.  I told you my size in inches and sure enough you fitted me to the "T". I love the clothes they are tailored made as if though I was there for the fitting. I'll keep buying from you for sure and tell others also. God Bless and continue your excellent business demeanor."
-- Lynne, Rnp

"I am so very very pleased with my purchase. The dress is beautiful, which is pretty incredible for a plus size. Thank you for bringing such beauty for we plus sized ladies. I love the 'Natalia' dress. You can be certain I will definitely order from you again, when the need arises. In addition, the service was excellent. With appreciation,"
--Barbara, Allentown, PA

"I was very happy with the service I received, especially since I had to return one dress and get another size. It was sent before I could send the other back. I am wearing the dress for my daughter's wedding this April, and didn't have time to shop since I am a teacher. Thank you."
--Cindy, North Carolina

"I am very well pleased with

--Shelley, CT

"Your service was excellent. My mother-in-law loved her dress. She will look like a star on her son's wedding. Thanks for all your help."
--Michelle, NYC

"Hi Barry, I am quite pleased with your web site as well as your service.  The dress I received was beautiful and well made.  I appreciate the literature regarding alterations that was packaged with my dress.  I would not hesitate to order from you again or recommend you to my friends.  God's peace,"
--Cindy, Illinois

"Actually Barry, we found your web-site to be the most user friendly of all evening wear web-sites.  The pictures of your creations were large enough to actually feel comfortable choosing.  The evening dresses are both beautiful and sexy, both  features we desired. Using Pay Pal on e-bay is the easiest way I've found to pay on the web, but your site was not difficult to use.  Good job Barry."
--Carlos & Patti, Palm Harbor, Florida

 "I was very impressed with your web site and your company.  It was very easy to move around the web site and with all the personal help you gave me in selecting the dress and size. It was like having my very my own dress designer.  I haven't worn the dress yet, tomorrow is my son's big day, but I have every confidence that it will be the most elegant dress there, except for the brides dress of course.  Thank you again, for all your help."
--Josie, Attica, MI.

"I am a native New Yorker who relocated to Orlando, Florida 12 years ago.  My daughter is getting married and I was having great difficulty finding the perfect dress.  I am a plus size woman, but only 45 and did not want to wear something that my 83 year old mother wouldn’t even wear.  I started to search the net for a formal dress that I could get in a plus size that was elegant and youthful.  I found your site, found several dresses I really liked; called you, got your advice, gave you my measurements and ordered a stunning dress – amber- and waited for it to arrive. When UPS delivered I opened the box and was completely taken aback by the beauty and elegance of the dress.  The best part was if fit beautifully!  No alterations were needed and I feel beautiful.  The dress is elegant and slimming and best of all youthful.  I could not believe how reasonable the price was! Words cannot thank you enough!  I will definitely use “The Evening Store” again and I have recommended it to several of my family members and friends. Thank you for making it possible for me to look beautiful for my daughter’s wedding. With heart felt thanks,"
--Laurene, Orlando, FL

"Thank you. I was very happy with the web site. It was easy to figure out what size I needed. I really didn't expect the dress to fit as well as it did. It needs no alterations!!"
--Cathy, North Merrick, NY

"One word for your on-line shopping - 'Fantastic'. - I placed my order and within one week it was delivered to the UK. I call that service. I am totally hooked and drop in regularly to check out the dresses."
--Eileen, UK

" I think the gown is beautiful.  The quality is first class. I am looking  forward to wearing it on my Alaska cruise.  I took it to work and showed it to several of my girl friends. I gave them the website, they are all going to use you when they need their next formal.  The  styles are beautiful and I found just what I was looking for.   Thanks again Barry.  Keep up the good work.... I am very impressed with your customer service, and the prompt attention I was given in receiving my gown. You are the Best!"
--Barbara,  Fountain Hills, Arizona

"I am so pleased with the Toni dress that I ordered from The Evening Store. It is so elegant that I can hardly wait to wear it to my daughter's wedding this month and then later to the reception in May, the bead work on the dress matches the beads on my daughters wedding gown, so it is the perfect mother-of-the-bride dress. The customer service that I received from you is outstanding. I have already recommended The Evening Store to several of my friends that have weddings coming up in the near future. The only thing I wish was different in the construction of plus size dresses is the armholes are way too big which allows the undergarments to show. Otherwise, the dress is absolutely beautiful."
--Rose, Colorado 

"I must say I was very impressed with the way my purchase was handled. The dress was received promptly and very beautiful. Unfortunately, it did not work for me and I also received my credit promptly. I would definitely recommend your store to my friends. Thanks again."
--Ethel

 "Phenomenal...On Saturday, March 26, 2005, I ordered the Amber gown in a plus size, followed your sizing tips and received a perfectly fitting garment on Tuesday, March 29.  Thank you for your email update of my order status.  I selected this item to wear to an evening wedding this May but the dress fit so well that I decided to wear it this past Monday, April 4 during Formal Night on my 7 day cruise.  By the way, I am sending this reply while still on that cruise.  Thank You!  The compliments that I received were overwhelming.  I will be purchasing from TheEveningStore.com again in the near future. Regards,"
--Katti,  NY

"I received the second dress and it fit great!  I really appreciate the speed in which you got the second one here.  The dress is beautiful and I will feel like a queen at my daughters wedding.  Thank you so much Barry."
--Teri, Nebraska

"Thanks so much for providing my beautiful dress so promptly.  After calling me to say it might be a little later than you thought, the dress arrived just days later.  I was impressed with your service.  The dress did need altering - as I am only 5'3", clothes are always long waisted on me.  This seemed to me like a difficult alteration, but for the proper person it wasn't, and the alterations were made quickly and inexpensively.  People are always impressed when I tell them I got my dress online and I frequently refer you to others.  I am looking forward to wearing the dress on the 17th. at the wedding of my fourth child and only daughter. Thank you again - you made my dress shopping very easy."
--Karen, Pennsylvania

"I am very pleased with my dress and it is a perfect fit. I know you mentioned that most of the dresses needed some alterations, but I guess I am one of the lucky ones and that was not necessary in my case. The dress is lovely and arrived in perfect condition. I know I will enjoy wearing it at my grandson's wedding."
--Ann, Derby KS

"I am so pleased that I came across your website while searching for something unique to wear to a special event.  The website was easy to navigate, the photographs clear and the descriptions detailed.  I also found the information provided on the website to be reassuring since ordering online is sometimes a little risky. I could not have been more pleased with the dress - it was more beautiful than I ever imagined.  I will be ordering again in the future."
--Kate - Texas

" I just wanted to say how pleased I am with you and your website. The photos are wonderful and true to life. Your customer service is great too. I love the idea that when I needed 2 sizes to compare the fit, you sent one out to me right away. I do wish you would have allowed a few more days to try them on and decide which one to  keep. Other than that, you get an A++++++++++++!!!!!! Thanks,"
--Lynn, Holbrook, MA

"Love my dress.  Fits perfect.  Got it right on time.  Thanks ,  you were heaven sent."
--Diane, Silsbee, TX

"I was in the middle of a move when I needed an evening gown to attend special event with very little to for searching.  Therefore, I went to the internet for a search on evening gowns.  The Evening Store appeared as one of the site with evening gowns.  I found the site to be very user friendly, which was a plus; however, the big plus was the beautiful gowns selection. I ordered  an evening gown (S) from The Evening Store, which was 1 inch too small.  I called Barry and shared the issue with him.  He stated he could send me another gown the next day.  Then Barry called back and stated he would send two evening gowns in the next (“M” & “L”) to ensure proper fit.  I was able to fit the “M” and sent the “S” & “L” back to Barry.  The evening gown fitted great with very little alteration. I had the gown hemmed an inch. Barry (The Evening Store), thank you for the wonderful experience. Grateful"
--Juanita, Virginia

"I was very pleased with your web-site and your customer service.  The web-site shows the gowns well, which made choosing between them much easier.  Also, when one gown didn't fit and it wasn't the right style for me, you sent another gown free of charge.  That took the pressure off for me, otherwise I just would have sent the first gown back, and not kept looking on your web-site.  The additional info about returns and alterations also helped tremendously.  And I absolutely love the gown that I chose!!  I specifically wanted a non wedding gown looking wedding gown!!  Thanks."
--Rose, Virginia

"I was extremely pleased with the dress I received.  I would definitely order from you again."
--Rebecca, Ohio

 "Barry,  My dress arrived today and I was so pleased!  The quality of the gown is wonderful and your service was excellent!  However, the dress is a bit to big so I am ordering another one for overnight shipment to see if it will work better.  I thank you so much for offering such beautiful gowns.  They really must be seen to be appreciated!!!  Both of my daughters are getting married this year within 2 months of each other.  I will be shopping with you again for the next wedding!!  Thanks so much for the personal attention and for such beautiful gowns!!"

"We are extremely pleased with your company. Thank you very much."
--Gary, California

  "Dear Barry, As your email came so did the dress. Wonderfully quick deliver, two days. I do need to call and get a resize on the chamosile top and maybe the jacket, I will ask others first. But either way, nice quality items and certainly speedy service, thanks."
--Jan, Selkirk, NY

"I received my dress yesterday after a brief wait for it to be in stock. I am VERY HAPPY with my purchase and the customer service you provide! I will tell my friends about your website. Thanks,"

--Linda

"I loved how fast you sent me the dresses. I was sorry they didn't do. You were very kind. I will order from you again."
--Elizabeth, North Carolina

"I received my dress a few days after placing the order.  It fit beautifully.  Since I did not try it on until I got it, I was really surprised that it fit so well.  I really loved the dress and would definitely order from The Evening Store again when I have a need for formal wear."
--Annette, Florida, USA

"We were all impressed with the quality and craftsmanship in a gown as reasonably priced. Your service and follow up are great and having the terms and phone numbers on an easy to read sheet enclosed with the dresses is also great. You can be sure this won’t be the last time we will be buying from you....."
--Jim

"Your service, product and web site was great. The dress I received was beautiful. Unfortunately I just had no need for it at this time, the wedding was cancelled. I have already put your site in my Favorites Box."
--Leona, California

"The dress was even prettier than the picture.  Web site great.  Help was excellent. I have already recommended this site to many people. Thanks again,"
--Pat, New Jersey

"I love your products, love your service, love your web site. The only thing that would make my shopping experience absolutely perfect is if you had a toll free number."
--Michele, Brevard County, Florida

"Thank you for mailing my dress on time and everything was 'Lovely'. I will be shopping in the near future at The Evening Store and I will tell all my friends."
--Karen A. Parker

"My dress arrived 2 days after I ordered it.  It is beautiful and fits perfectly.  I am very excited about wearing it for my nephew's wedding.  Thank you for having the insight to have a web site. It made it so easy to find just what I was looking for."
--Sincerely, Linda

"Barry, The top is stunning and fits perfectly.  Thank you, thank you."
Maggie, Reno, NV

"My daughter Rebecca recently purchased the Tammarra dress for me to wear at her wedding.  We are extremely pleased with the dress and speed of the shipment. Becki does feel that the order confirmation should tell the buyer that a detailed e-mail confirmation will follow. Thank you for your help on determining size and color. The comparisons you sent of the navy and royal blue were very helpful."
-- Charlaine

 "The dress was beautiful and it fit fine. I just need to hem it. Thank you very much. I will tell others about TheEvening Store."
 --Diana, Murrieta, CA

 "Thank you for the beautiful evening dress and your great service. I did not take advantage of your experience and chose a size on my own which turned out to be too small. I was also unsure of the color between royal blue and navy. When I called, you immediately sent out another dress in navy in the correct size and it arrived in plenty of time. I was so impressed with the speed of your delivery. Most of the evening wear sites you see online have 4-6 week or longer delivery times. Even with the exchange, I had the dress I needed within a week. I wore the dress to a charity event and it was a big hit. Everyone I spoke with – many people that I had never met before – commented that it was the most gorgeous dress at the event. Thanks again for your help. I will definitely recommend your site to my friends."
--Jennifer, Michigan

"I was surprised and pleased at the personal phone call I received concerning my order. Thank you."
--Kathy - Ohio

"I am so impressed.  I received my dress yesterday.  It will need some alteration in the shoulder.  It is a beautiful dress which I have purchased to wear at my son's wedding. I am recommending you to everyone I know because I have never had such great service. Thank you so very much."
--Mary

"Excellent service."
--Mary,  England

"What a company - so easy to order online - goods arrived within one week of ordering and I live in the UK - very impressed by the service."
--Eileen, Scotland

"The EveningStore.com offered me as a consumer extreme professionalism and courtesy which in today's retail world is hard to find. Barry also possessed 'a personality' which is also hard to find when shopping either on line or at a retail center. I most appreciated his hands on approach as though I were his only customer, and prompt replies to my on line messages. Individuals like Barry are in short supply -- a great shame for us consumers."
--Mary, Illinois

"Excellent company to deal with…..better than a local store!  Dress quality was excellent also.  Will use you again!"
--Irene, Rhode Island

"Hi Barry, I received the beautiful dress today. I appreciate the prompt service. It will need some alterations. I will be visiting New York in May. I will definitely  be  visiting  the store. Once again thank you for the great service."
--Lorraine, Bermuda.

"My dress arrived today and I am so pleased with my purchase. I have been looking for an elegant dress to wear to my daughter's wedding in June and the Natalia is the dress. I have searched in stores and it seems retail does just not want to stock dresses in larger sizes. What you do find is not in color, fabric or a style that you want. We wanted a soft pastel and after searching the internet we came across your site and found the dress. I am thankful for finding The Evening Store and the fact that you carried larger sizes. I have passed your site on to others. Again, thanks for the quick processing of my order and for having a dress that fit and is beautiful."
--Stephanie, Gallipolis, OH

"My mom loved the dress!  Thanks so much for making ordering over the internet so easy.  She tried on many dresses in bridal stores and they did not fit or were the wrong color.  Your dress not only fit, it was the perfect color!  Thanks for making such a beautiful dress!!!"
--Kim, Oklahoma  (mom is in North Carolina)

"The dress arrived promptly. It was perfect. I didn’t need to alter it at all and wore it on Saturday with many compliments. I shall use your store again. Great service and it all seemed so personal. Thanks for saving the moment."
--Sue, New Mexico

"I was very impressed by your prompt response to my questions regarding sizing, color, and everything with regards to my dress order. And, sending me the Pashmina because the dress was missing beading was very thoughtful and wonderful customer service.  I have told many people about your company and will continue to in the future. Again, thank you"
--Joan, New Hampshire

"Barry,  the service has been great. The dress arrived in 2 days and it is a beautiful dress. Also you helped me out a great deal after my mistake in ordering 2."
--Lee Ann, New York

"I got the dress quickly, It fit like it was made just for me.... I love it! Thank you so much. I'm sure my wedding on the beach in Jamaica will be absolutely gorgeous! I will definitely buy from your website again."
--Karen,  Las Vegas

Best Regards, Terri, Texas

It is BEAUTIFUL... she tried it on and it is perfect.... she's looking forward to wearing it soon... she just doesn't know why I bought it for her (smile)...   Thanks a lot for your advice... I didn't need the 6x...even without the girdle (smile).... I look forward to buying more items from you!"

... then ... 

"My grandmother loved the dress (Amber).  I ordered it for her a surprise 70th birthday party. It fits perfectly!  I thought I would never find a plus size dress, but your web site was heaven sent. I will definitely shop your site again! And recommend it to friends."

--Sincerely,  Aura New Orleans, LA

"Even though I returned the dress, I was quite impressed with your overall site.  The return was easy and my credit card was promptly credited.   The dress arrived quickly.  I would not hesitate to order from you again."
--Melody  

"I actually did call you upon receipt of my dress!!  Your shipping was incredibly fast, and the dress was perfect...no alterations were needed!!  I am a plus size woman and shopping your website made my experience much more pleasant than usual.  I was not able to find evening wear in any local stores and you had a marvelously large selection to choose from.  I have your website in my favorite places, and will continue to shop there from now on!!  Thank you for making my life so much easier!!!"
--Gail, Chaska. MN

"I had ordered a very beautiful silver dress and duster, all bugle beads.  Unfortunately I am a little too large for such a wonderful dress.  I want to thank you for your return policy.  I sent the dress back and was credited promptly.  I will certainly come in to your store to try on your wonderful dresses.  My son is getting married on Sept. 11th, so I will have to be "beautiful" on that day.  I also have my other son engaged with an upcoming wedding for which I will need another dress.  Thank you again for your prompt delivery of the dress and your prompt credit to my account.  I would recommend you highly to anyone needing something beautiful."
--Mrs. E.

"I cannot thank you enough for such a pleasant experience working with you and your Company.  The dress I ordered was back ordered and as you promised it arrived in plenty of time for my son's big day.  On top of it all it was so worth the wait.  The dress is just beautiful (looks & quality) and the fit perfect. Thank you so much for your patience and I definitely will recommend you to all my friends and family.  Take care and continued success to you."
--Gayle, California

"I am very happy with the dress I received.  Although I followed your measurements as described and ordered the corresponding dress size but still had to exchange it for a larger size.  I received everything in a very timely manner, within a week of order, and I appreciated your fast response on email - which made me feel like you were on the ball and pay attention to detail. I'll definitely recommend you to my friends when they need to shop for evening gowns.  I'd like to see some more fancy purses on your site too."
--Sincerely, Emily Steamboat Springs, CO

"Everything was great.  I placed my order online and even though there was a slight glitch when it was delivered, one phone call got everything resolved in a fast and friendly manner.  In addition, the quality of the dresses was great, and the fit perfect.  I ordered dresses for 6 very different girls for use in a school production and everything was exactly as we hoped. I would definitely order again as the need arises, and recommend to friends as well. Thanks for doing such a good job!"
--Chris, Tennessee

"I absolutely love the "EMMA" Top. The fit is perfect. I am extremely pleased. This is the 1st time I ordered mail order and I kept the product. Exceptional service and Product. I will order again if the need arises.   One question....  Do you get different products in from time to time?  Thanks again.......  One very pleased customer.......   I can't thank you enough!"
--Viva Las Vegas

"I got the dress today, Sorry, I was getting so excited about it, I didn't mean to bug you. I love it!  It fits like it was made just for me. I have read all the comments online about how good the fit of the dresses are, And I thought "yeah sure mine wont fit me" but I took it out of the package and I was truly amazed at how well it fit.  I look so forward to wearing it in my beach wedding in Jamaica in April. I have already called all my friends to tell them about it! I am very pleased and will order from you again."
--Karen Las Vegas
