Rude!
by Rebok at Citysearch
Went there to try on wedding dresses and was told that I could try them on only if I was interested in buying and actually getting married. That is not the way to address a new customer. I said of course and proceeded to try on an expensive dress and then left as the comment was brewing on my mind. Will never ever go there again. The comments below about rudeness need to be taken seriously. Yes, they have a great inventory but I would like to be treated like an important customer when trying to find my dream dress for one of the most important days of my life. No one gets my money if I'm not treated properly.

Thumbs UP!!!
by Jennifer0412 at Citysearch
Love the store....and re: susie's post, I am so glad that they don't allow men to try on dresses along side my daughter! Guess I'm a little 1950s'ish (as the poster mentioned)...but that's fine with me! The salespeople were very helpful...we were trying to stay within a $600 budget for prom...and we found a gorgeous dress. The only down side to the store is the return policy.

Found my homecoming dress!
by crashley1 at Citysearch
I went everywhere...literally everywhere and could not find a dress for my homecoming! I went to Dillard's, Nordstrom, AND Terry Costa..NOTHING..everything looks the same and there was nothing original. Then my mom told me to go to Whatchmacallit...I found the perfect dress....they had so many! The girl, Courtney, helped me and totally got that i wanted something that didn't look like every other dress out there. Didn't hurt that they have a really cute blonde guy at the counter ;)

Very impressed with this store!
by EmilyChristine at Citysearch
I went to the Watchamacallit in Dallas and it was a GREAT experience. It was extremely organized and everyone there was very helpful in every way possible. As soon as I went into the store the owner came up and talked to me about my prom and seemed genuinely interested. Then he immediately got someone to help me and get me whatever I needed. The girl that was helping me, I think her name was Christie or Crystal, went above and beyond to help me. She was constantly bringing me cute dresses to try on while I was trying on my others. She even brought me shoes to try on with the dresses. It was wonderful, I didn't even have to leave my dressing room once to walk around and search for dresses. She also gave me her honest opinion on what she thought about the dress and was very sweet. This is where I ended up buying my dress and I love it.
The only thing is that it IS a tad bit pricey, but there are lots of stores that are even pricier. And the dresses are extremely cute and unique, so it's worth it. Another thing I really liked was that the girl helping me was completely understanding if I didn't want to buy something because of it's price. She showed me some earrings and shoes that were extremely cute, but too far out of my budget price so I told her I couldn't get them. Right away, she said that's totally fine and told me of some other places I could find cheaper things that are just as cute.
Overall, I was very impressed with the store and the people working there. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

I love Whatchamacalit Fashions
by Iamsecond at Citysearch
Hello Sir, i think you are taking this situation way out of context. I love whatchamalcalit fashions, my entire family (the women of course) have bought several dresses from thier store. I do not apporve of you shaming the store and being negitive towards the owner. You are obviously over exaggerating the entire thing. I do not apporve of men wearing dresses. I mean seriously people do we really want to see men purchasing and wearing FEMALE dresses? No, if my child or family ever saw a man wearing a dress, they would be shocked,confused and perplexed. I live by the word of god and the bible and man must live as a man and a women must live as a women. Whatchamacalit is an amazing store and you need to quit your complaining. Just in my opinon, thank you and have a great day. God bless.
