I arrived at Glitz on a Monday morning a few minutes before they opened, as did another couple of people, with the hope of checking out their wedding dress selection. We waited until 10 when they supposedly opened, but couldn't find an open door. The guy from the attached tux shop let us in and turned on the lights, saying he didn't know where the employee was. After we all wandered around for about 10 minutes the young woman who worked there arrived. She was wearing sunglasses, talking on her cell phone, and seemed genuinely inconvenienced at the fact she had to be at work. She greeted no one, walked behind the counter, sat down, and proceeded to carry on her phone conversation. After a few minutes of being ignored I walked out. I was not surprised that she didn't say "goodbye and thanks for coming", because she was still on the phone. Bottom line - even if there had been any dresses here that held my interest (which there weren't), the lack of service was so deplorable that I would never go back, on principle alone.
Pros: easy to park
Cons: everything else

I bought my wedding gown from Glitz at a 10% discount because they were having a sample sale and I bought the dress they had to try on. They had a decent selection of regular and plus-sized dresses and a substantial amount of discounted gowns. The young girl helping me was pleasant and helpful. She was a regular retail employee...not paid on commission. The other employees, however, were pretty rude and unfriendly. I felt a bit pressured to buy the gown right away because they tried to convince me noone could order the dress in time for my wedding. I got scared and wondered if they just wanted me to purchase the dress. They didn't recommend any veils or shoe info, and I didn't ask. Bring your own bra and underclothes to try on dresses, they have none for you to use. There is little privacy in the dressing rooms in the back, which consist of a short drape hung over a doorway. I know people could see my bare body while I was trying on clothes, which made me feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. Other bridal places help you put on the dress, but I was left to fend for myself and step into my dress without a lady putting it over my head. I got my dress here on a small discount and they were nice about holding it for me before I could take it to an alterationist (not included). Store reminds me of a small hole in the wall warehouse-type shop. But, I love my dress! I'd say try this place if you can't afford Faccio or the White Room, and if David's Bridal doesn't have any dresses that appeal to you.
Pros: Found my gown here; One nice employee; Holding my gown
Cons: Parking, Service, Dressing rooms
