attitude adjustment needed!
by lny
If you can stand to be treated with no manners, as you hand over a great deal of money for a dress then come on down to Apropos.I was treated like I did "not belong" every time I went into this establishment for alterations on my purchase. They even sent me a note of apology with a discount for a future purchase after I stormed out.Obviously they knew they were out of line! In these difficult economic times, I would advise going to a store where they treat you like they want your business. The help here need a lesson on how to approach customers and treat them with courtesy!
- Cons: clerks do not know how to treat customers

I loved it
by emella
I really liked the selections. After days of trying on upscale dept. store dresses, I found they all carried the same designers, dresses and only several sizes. Sax wanted me to buy the dress and pay for shipping before I could try it in my size... maybe I'm old school but whatever happend to customer satisfaction! Snooty over there too! Apropos may have that shipping policy, I don't know, but I didn't need to find out because they had plenty to choose from. Barb is very helpful and seems to give honest suggestions and opinions. You are greeted with a beverage and a nice dressing room, complete with shoes, full mirrors and a dressing table. The also have great accessories.
- Pros: great atmosphere, lots of choices
- Cons: sometimes saw dresses I liked on other sizes but didn't always have in mine. Common dress shopping problem.

Mother of the bride dress
by klray
Mary, at Apropos, is THE BEST. I was looking for a dress for my daughter's wedding. I had tried on about 10 and was down to the last one--one Mary had suggested that I never would have selected. I put it on, walked out to my daughter, and she said, "That's it!" Everyone at the wedding said the dress was gorgeous and I was beautiful. But, on a cruise 6 weeks later, the lead singer/dancer on the ship came up to me and told me what a beautiful dress I had--that she had noticed it the minute I walked on. What a compliment. I recommend this store to everyone--it's pricey, but it's worth it.
- Pros: Service, selection
- Cons: pricey
The Details on A'Propos
The Dressing Room:
There's only one dressing room at Apropos, but it's got a table and couch and beaded lamp in it, and there's still enough to room to walk around. A terrycloth robe hangs on a hook for you to slip on if you want to run out into the store and grab something
Very Victorian:
The interior design of the store resembles a Victorian fantasy boudoir. Vintage clocks, tables and chairs and beaded lamps imbue the place with romance.
