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.

The sample was a size 10 and I was told that I should order a size 16 based on my measurements. At first I told them I would like to order the size of the sample and two associates convinced me otherwise. Saying that if I didn't have enough material for alterations the dress could not be fixed. Like any other bride I lost 15 lbs before the big day. When the dress arrived it was enormous! I had my alterations done at Mecklenburg Bridal. That poor seamstress tried her best and had to completely remake the back of the dress (it went from a backless dress to completely closed). During both fittings the seamstress apologized continuously for how badly the dress came out and did not understand why they would order the dress so big. She said there was no way 15 lbs would cause me to go from a size 16 to a size 9. After nearly $400 in alterations the dress was still baggy. She was unable to fix the bust due to the cup material. After seeing my wedding dress in pictures I was pretty upset. I called Mecklenburg Bridal Gallery and explained my situation to the sales associate on the phone. I asked if there was anyway I could rent the sample dress so I could retake my wedding pictures. The associate said she would talk to the owner about my situation and call me back...8 months later I'm still waiting for that phone call.

As an old gal, I don't shop as much as I used to in my prime...but as an ex-shoppaholic, the urge…read moreto shop still hits me now and then. When it does, I have a few places that come to mind. Surprisingly, this place in Fort Mill has become one of those places in the past few years. Of course, I have other favorite boutiques in Charlotte, but this boutique is closest to my home. For a Fort Mill boutique, it's surprisingly lofty and cosmopolitan. I love how the store is so spacious, with plenty of walking space...with mirrors everywhere, so you can almost try on things (accessories!) without having to go into the dressing room (though their dressing rooms are nice and spacious as well). Their apparel and accessories are largely bohemian...casual chic. It reminds me of Boem, one of my fave boutiques in Southpark...though Broadcloth is a tad cheaper. Overall, the many cute items in this store are very affordable...which makes it super-fun. More than anything, I LOVE the accessories here. I always find something unique that catches my eye...whether it's a hat, sandals, or jewelry. Honestly, I shop more online than anything nowadays, but if I feel the need to shop in person, I usually make my rounds here, along with their younger sister store, Page, in Baxter Village (just a mile down the road). ANYWAY, it's been awhile since I did a review on a store/boutique, so I felt the need to work one up for one of my current faves.
