Just a few words to describe my experience - and this was only over the phone. The woman on the phone was excited when I said i was looking for Jim Hjelm designer dress.

But when I told her I was plus size - her tone completely changed and her response was " oh..that's a problem. We only have sample sizes in 8-10 and there's nothing here for you. Maybe you should go to a place that caters to your..um..size. We can't help you here."

Look, I"m not a whale, just a regular sized person in the real world. My thin 19 year old daughter couldn't even fit into their sample sizes. I guess I'll take my $5000 budget elsewhere. I think anyone who thinks little of others like this (and i'm sure if she thinks I'm beneath her because I'm plump, I bet she'll think the same way about you if you don't conform to her other idiotic standards) should be left alone with her designer dresses and no business.

Stay away...stay away. There's better places and people out there.
