I've visited several shops over the past couple of weeks and have had overall good experiences. All of the shops except one had tags in all of the dresses I tried on. I like Watters and Pronovias dresses so those were mostly the designers I was trying on. I had good experiences at all of the following:

Panache Bridal-- Redondo Beach
Palos Verdes Bridal
Brides of CA--- Torrance
The Wedding Day-- Huntington Beach
Jaclyn's Bridal-- Costa Mesa

I only went to one BAD shop, which was Castle for Brides in Huntington Beach. The tags were blatantly ripped out of the dresses, they didn't even remove them neatly. My mom and I were looking at a rack of dresses and overheard the manager asking her staff, are they being helped? I informed her that one of her staff had approached us a few minutes earlier and we told her we were still looking and hadn't seen anything to try on yet. She then told her staff to go around the store and sign everyone in, otherwise there would just be people "wandering all over the store". Considering that attitude and the tag ripping, we decided to just leave right away.
