A Class Act Consignments

The customer service was amazing, Shannon was great. I found my dream dress and the prices are unbeatable. She even gave me a small discount. ¹⁰⁄₁₀

I’m surprised to see so many negative reviews because I had a wonderful experience here. I came on a weekday and the store was empty except for me, but the woman was really attentive but not to pushy. She let me browse on my own and helped me in and out of the few I wanted to try on and complemented me but also gave me her thoughts. In the end it’s your dress and if you think you look good in it then just go for it no matter what sales people say. I did purchase my dress from here back in July and I love it. Would recommend to any bride on a budget.

Lovely dresses but, my god, what a rude representative. She followed us around everywhere, seemed a bit possessive of the place. Then she insulted our weights by critiquing the sizes we were browsing. In fact, I wanted to try on a dress that would have totally fit me and I would likely bought if it looked good, but she asked me the size and gave me the side-​eye and asked «Do you wear that size?» I promptly put it back and we left. I wish I would have said something because it was beyond the pale. I’m horrified that this woman handles mostly young women (lots of prom dresses) and probably gives them body issues with her tone and approach. Do not give her your money.

As soon as we walked in she became very rude. She was busy at the front and we walked over to the formals. She acted irritated and yelled back at us to see what we came in for. Then told my husband to leave his nalgene water bottle at the front. Dresses were overpriced and expensive especially since they were used. I could find something at a David’s bridal clearance rack for cheaper.

As soon as I walked in the door with my two children, she immediately acted irritated and directed comments at them. I was completely taken aback and honestly shocked at her actions and immediate irritation. I have two well behaved children that were almost in tears by her brazen words to them without cause. I politely stood up for their feelings because they deserved the same respect as I did as a customer. If I had children being destructive or ill mannered I could understand her irritation, but not the moment she saw children walk in her door. She was beyond out of line and crossed a huge boundary. She didn’t seem eager to help me either and wasn’t the friendliest. I left and felt compelled to write my first review since my children were affected by her actions all day. If you want someone to be polite and kind, you’re not going to find it here.

This was far from «a class act.» While there, I was told that I would look terrible in the color that I was going to wear, it was no wonder I had not found a dress, asked why the colors were chosen that had been, and was forced to listen to an opinion that was rude and abrasive. I will be returning to the bridal district in Cincinnati where I was treated with respect and kindness. I have never been treated this way and hope that no one else has to be either. I bit my tongue and walked out of this shop never to return again.

Wedding — the word conjures up equal parts excitement and dread for me. Excitement because what is better than a huge party with lots of friends, food, and some vino. Dread because of the months of planning (flower types, flower colors, cake flavors, icing flavors, icing colors, music playlists, venue visits, photographer interviews, photographs, hair, makeup, limos, food tastings. .. too much).
When it comes to that all-​important item — the dress — you want something beautiful that you will fall in love with, but that you won’t take too much of a chunk out of the down-​payment you’re saving for that marital homestead. A Class Act may just be the place to check out with their huge selection of like-​new bridal gowns and knowledgeable staff.
I visited here a few times recently to take in my sister-in-law’s wedding gown for possible consignment. She decided she could part with it and we went for the plunge on trying to sell. Here’s what you need to know if you decide to do so as well:
— $ 10 consignor fee
— 1 year in the shop
— ⁶⁰⁄₄₀ profit split
— You can pick your item up if it doesn’t sell
In the end we went with option 4, as the dress hadn’t sold after 12 months (a certain royal wedding and its Grace Kelly lace ruined it for the sophisticated satin of her gown as buyers flocked to look like Duchess Kate). Still, it was a painless experience, and I always enjoyed browsing while I was there. When my day comes, bet your bottom dollar that A Class Act is the first place I will be looking for «the» gown!

I had a great time trying on dresses here. The ladies were so helpful, they found a couple dresses for me to try on that I had missed. And they listened to what I was looking for. There were some hidden gems here for around $ 100! They might need a little work to get them exactly how you want but they are such a steal that it’s no big deal to put in a little extra money for some alterations. And they had a huge selection, I really just expected them to have a few bridal gowns but they may have had a hundred!
