After many visits to different bridal shops this place doesn't compare! They carry many top brands for 1/2 the price! When you enter you are the only client for that time, which is so wonderful. There focus is on finding YOU a dress and you alone! Charlene really listens to you, she only suggests things you can add or alter to make it the perfect dress your looking for! She doesn't push or pressure you to do anything you don't want (accessories etc.) unlike other shops. She also grabs dresses you don't really think would work but I ended up getting the one she picked out for me, I even got super emotional and cried! I tried on many dresses but it never seemed to resonate with me, but once I had that dress on I just knew that was it, no dress made me feel more like a beautiful bride than the one she picked out. The dress looks like a $3,000 dress and I still can't believe I only ended up paying $800 for a beautiful dreamy Ballgown! Charlene definitely knows her stuff! She's very receptive, responsive and professional. Her assistant was just as amazing and sweet! I'd definitely recommend all brides on a budget, or not, to visit this boutique! I'm so grateful that I did. Whether you buy a gown from here or not your experience here will be an amazing one!

Found the perfect dress!

Every girl envisions the perfect dress when they are little and I loved all of the dresses that Rose pull for me. I ended up going with one that I would’ve never thought would’ve been ‘me’ until I put it on and felt extremely beautiful in it. Rose and Jim are amazing and I recommend Sample Rack to any bride!!

Found a dress on the 3rd try

Sample Rack was super professional. They closed the store for me and my mother to look through dresses and for me to try on. I felt super comfortable & the front desk was very helpful.
