Eden the sales rep was very helpful! She and her colleague Ariel helped me find some birthday looks in the plus size department. They really made my shopping experience great. I will be back soon.

My experience here has been nothing but satisfactory. They are so very attentive. The store was clean. It's small so you'll be squeezing through some areas. No no complaints.
