We began shopping for my daughter's wedding dress on November 9, 2024 for her upcoming wedding…read moreApril 26, 2025. We went to Bridal Place as we had found prom dresses there in the past. J showed Hatie her Pinterest board with black and white (two-tone) dresses giving her an idea of what she was looking for. Hatie showed us a beautiful black dress and advised they could customize it to J's specifications making it everything she wanted -- off-the shoulder rather than spaghetti straps, add some white layers and additional alterations. We purchased the dress and paid for the initial customized alterations. The first fitting after alterations, J couldn't step into the dress as it had been sewn together leaving no opening. This was corrected while we were there, but the dress was not yet as expected. Hatie assured us they could still fulfill the vision. We paid a second alterations invoice. We traveled to Bridal Place for several fittings and finally on April 12, 2025 (two weeks before the wedding), we took the dress as it was at the time and had the complete vision fulfilled in short time with someone else. The result was everything J wanted and the complete vision! Because Hatie was very helpful and I was trusting her expertise and advice, I purchased the MOB dress from a catalog, as did 2 others - all requiring alterations. The alterations to my dress were so poorly done I took it to another alterations person who advised the dress was beyond repair (see photos attached) and purchased a second dress one week before my daughter's wedding which also required alterations. One of the other dresses ended up in the same situation, was taken elsewhere for repair and followed suit with unfixable alterations and purchase of another dress on Tuesday before the Saturday wedding and alterations completed 2 days before the wedding. There was so much unnecessary stress involved in the dress debacle. During the initial visit in November, we saw a sign advertising a sale on tuxedoes. My daughter took the groom, her father and future father-in-law for fittings and measurements on December 21, 2024. They went to pick up the tuxes on March 8, 2025 and encountered more disaster. There was no sign indicating the available-for-purchase tuxes were previously used rentals (see attached pic from BP's facebook page). Some of the pieces were well worn, stained, and mismatched. In spite of having been "measured and fitted," and paying for the "tux orders" upfront, 2 men were given XL shirts, requiring the purchase of additional shirts in the appropriate sizes elsewhere. I discussed the tux incident with Hatie and suggested BP should have a sign indicating the tuxes available for order/purchase were previously used, worn rentals. I was well aware the tuxes were being offered at a very inexpensive rate, but it never occurred to us we were "ordering/purchasing" used garments. We made unnecessary visits to BP due to a lack of communication between the small staff making it impossible to pick up items at appointments although the items were at BP (example, being at BP on Saturday and making a trip back on Monday from Charlotte to pick up the groom's replacement vest and tie because the staff person was not there on Saturday and no one knew if they had arrived.) I placed a call when they opened at 11 am Monday and was advised yes the pieces were in and actually were on Saturday. This situation caused unnecessary concern for the bride over the weekend and until we had the pieces in hand to know the condition of the items. We felt really good about BP the day of purchase of the wedding dress. Hatie had the vision but after months of alterations going wrong, dresses messed up to the point they couldn't be repaired, the tux fiasco and not being able to rely on them to know where our already paid for items were, this was an unpleasant and extremely stressful experience. You can find a beautiful dress among their selection, but I would refrain from allowing them to do anything more than minor alterations.

If you are my future brother-in-law and reading this before 3/24/18: no peeking! Shoo!…read more Everyone else: I cannot recommend Simpson's enough! We went looking for a dress for my sister, who is the perfect storm of "OMG, what am I going to do?" She had no idea what silhouettes looked good on her, has a unique body type, wanted a non-traditionally colored gown and travels to work (which means she has a tricky schedule). My coworker is also planning her wedding and recommended Simpson's, she said it was worth the drive. So, being the antisocial millennial that I am, I sent them a Facebook message and got a reply right away that there would be blue dresses available to try on and was able to schedule our appointment through Facebook. They were super helpful since I didn't know anything (first time having MOH duties) When we got to the shop and checked in, we were introduced to Hope who was AMAZING. She took us to the samples and showed us how to read the tags and let us loose. We pulled maybe 8 dresses before my sister stopped us. Hope took my sister to the dressing room and we hung out in a small trying on area. I was really glad that my sister had a small group as there was not a lot of seating. This is the only fault I could find. Hope managed to figure out exactly what my sister was looking for and we got closer and closer to The One with every dress. The One, ended up being the 4th dress she tried on and even though it didn't come in the color she had been looking for, the staff was awesome in helping her find a way to customize it to her liking. I think at one point, three staff members were helping us look through color swatches for just the right shade! We were so pleased at the encellent service we received and I could not be happier. I can't wait until we go back in September when the dress comes in! I wanna see it again!

The needed alterations were complex, but the end result was beautiful and just what we asked for with both dresses.

We are so grateful to Marta for her contribution to our special day!

I love this store and will definitely be back!!…read more It's very well organized and clean. They had a large selection of clothes separated by size and lots of shoes. There's a separate room of baby gear and toys. So many great things, I wish I knew about this store when I was pregnant! They had a whole section of Lovevery stuff, too. Lots of books. There were some sales going on, too. My only knock is the prices seemed to be inconsistent. Some things seemed overpriced where other things were very well priced. For example, I saw a SHEIN dress that was more expensive than a New Magnolia Baby dress. (Same size and similar styles).

Visited the store first time based on a friend's recommendation. Place is very clean and very…read moreorganized. Unfortunately the prices are extremely high. Mostly all the girls dresses are $16.50 and shoes are $10 and up (including target children's slippers) Toys are in the high range too, a lot of them probably retail a lot more in the store but these are used toys, I still won't be paying $80 for 1 used dinosaur toy. Strollers are over $100. (I'm not talking about the high end strollers those are even more expensive) The Google reviews talk about decent prices but all those reviews are from over 3 years ago. Not true anymore. Unfortunately not all incomes can shop here even though this is mostly all used stuff. If you are trying to save money go see for yourself and decide if the prices are worth it. Also upon entering the store NONE of the employees greeted me, unfortunately it felt very cold and unwelcoming.

Richa and her husband showed me several sherwani's - enough to dazzle me, and to make me try on at least eight of 'em. Truly, their selection is incredible. They have various options across different price ranges. And their prices were absolutely reasonable. In the end, I got four sherwani's, and each one got more compliments than the last. Richa and her husband are the kindest, most welcoming humans ever, and they deserve every success for their business. Big thank you again!!!

Your orders, and any needed changed items, are handled easily on-line and via express delivery in advance of the wedding. Returns are easy too (especially if you keep the box sent to you by TBT. For me, the beauty of TBT was no time wasted. Another thing I appreciated is that, if you want to make sure your sizes are correct in advance of your on-line orders, TBT offers physical locations (like Nordstrom at SouthPark), where you can be fitted to give you peace of mind that your order will be correct.

DO NOT USE THE BLACK TUX FOR YOUR WEDDING…read more As a bride who is ONE WEEK away from her wedding, I am beyond frustrated with this company. Our initial fitting with my fiancé was actually great. The woman was professional, helpful, and we left feeling confident that we had made the right choice. LOL. We were very wrong. We were told that if we added a fifth person to our order, we would get $200 off. So we added a fifth person. THEN we found out the groom apparently doesn't count toward the five people. Would've been nice to know that BEFORE we added someone. Sounds a little like false advertising to me. Then the tuxes started arriving. My fiancé's first tux had pants that were GIGANTIC and a jacket that was way too big. We sent it back. A week before our wedding, the second one arrives -- pants are still the same issue, and now the jacket is so small it looked like it was made for a toddler. Apparently "fit" is just a suggestion at The Black Tux. At that point, we had ZERO confidence the third order would be right, so we had to scramble and make an emergency appointment at Men's Wearhouse because, you know, having a tuxedo that actually fits the groom is apparently something we needed a backup plan for. And my brother's experience wasn't any better. He was fitted at the SouthPark location, and his first tux arrived with pants that were too short AND had two different-length legs. The jacket sleeves were also two different lengths. His second order? Pants in the SAME SIZE are now too tight, and the jacket is way too big. Seriously... how is this happening? This has been an absolute nightmare and completely unacceptable, especially this close to our wedding. We trusted The Black Tux to handle something as simple as properly fitting tuxedos, and instead we've dealt with multiple incorrect orders, inconsistent sizing, poor quality control, misleading information, and an incredible amount of unnecessary stress. If you're getting married, save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. Your wedding is stressful enough without having to wonder if the groom is actually going to have something to wear. 0/10. Would not recommend.

I have bought several things from this shop and while a lot of the clothes they stock are not my style, every now and then I will find a top or sweater that is cool or funky.

However, at other times I've stopped in and found nothing at all that I would buy. They do have some cute purses and jewelry too from time-to-time. If you are looking for something a little different, drop in and see what they have in stock. You may strike out on one visit, but its worth giving them another shot because the next time you stop, they may have something really great. The service is excellent - the staff has always been very friendly and helpful on my visits. And, if you are buying a gift, they will even fix up a lovely gift bag for you.
