Question 4

I AM A PRIVATE PERSON, WHAT IS THE DRESSING ROOM SITUATION LIKE?

Accepted Answer

The dressing rooms are screened from the dress selection area, but are not totally private. If you feel uncomfortable undressing in front of others, consider wearing an undergarment you can keep on while trying on dresses. There are a few private dressing rooms, but the wait for them can be long.
