I totally agree! I don't even want to try the clothing on if there is no mirror in the dressing room. It's a private decision - who needs the salesperson telling you look GREAT in something that you know you don't! Retail stores listen up - PUT MIRRORS IN THE DRESSING ROOMS!!!!!

I hate this too. Chico's does this. If I can't get into the handicap dressing room, the only one with a mirror, I leave the store. Saturday, 3 older ladies were fighting over this room!

thats a very good question, I am the same way it's like stop give some privacy! because every time you walk out of the dressing room people all look at you and then it gets embarressing if it doesn't look good on you, YIKES. Anyways i think it is a buisness strategy the people who are all helping you that are right next to the dressing room, say that looks so fab on you and other chessy stuff to make you think that it really does look good on you, but then when you get home and try it on you wish you never bought it. So I guess my answear to the question is there is no way to stop this horrible and uncomforatable situation. E-mail me i have more insite on other fashion related things. So that we could trade our fashion knowledge! thanks bye bye

While showing @ a brooklyn showroom 8 yrs ago I asked the same question the answer, simple sales manship(?) Sales persons are actually able to affect sales they walk the hesitant customer through acceptance (hence those closet fullof un-worn clothes!)
