I recently bought my dress from Winnie Couture just last week (July 2025)!…read more Pros: -there are a lot of beautiful dresses there. -They are similar in design but all really lovely. They provide a nice seated area for you and your family/friends to come in and shop with you. -You are allowed to try on a handful of dresses and as you come out to show your people the dress you are on a small elevated platform which helps them see and basque in the beauty. Cons: -No mirrors in the fitting room. They said this is for your benefit, but the problem is they clamp you into the dress and so you are not able to see the back of the dress ever. I wanted to low back dress and was told it was as low as I was wanting, but I never was able to see it. - Disappointed in their lack of integrity, specially Alyssa who was supposed to help me. - Dishonest sales representatives. I get that there is a quota in sales, but for a bride who is excited about dress shopping- we are an easy target to take advantage of when they don't think about the person first and it's all about the sale. -At the Selwyn location, Alyssa Thao was the sales rep who sold me my dress. She essentially upsold me (without my knowledge) into buy shoulder straps by never showing me the complete dress which ALREADY INCLUDED STRAPS! She was extremely dishonest which was a shame since she seemed so nice. When confronting her about it when picking up the dress, the only response was that it was sitting on a table where it was visible to me. And that it was my fault for not noticing it. - I told management of the dishonest sale and they kept brushing past it. They never admitted fault and said they needed to push things up to corporate (you cannot contact them yourself) to return the straps that I never even left the store with. OVERALL: DON'T BUY HERE. Don't let the glowing reviews fool you. Remember it's your big day to go dress shopping, don't let the excitement blind side you to the fact that these people will do whatever they can do to get the dress out of the store as fast as they can... A fully refund was never issued and now I have to go through additional measures to get it back. Throughly disappointed in their lack of integrity.

She was detail-oriented, listened to what I was looking for, and provided what she thought would align. They have beautiful dresses and a large selection. The entire appointment was held with class.

I left with a folder and some of the styles I liked the best. It was truly a great experience.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Ladies of Lineage and Elizabeth!!! This was only…read morethe second bridal boutique I had ever been to, and I had actually been to my first one earlier that same day. The staff there was incredibly kind and I had a good experience, but it was a more typical, shared bridal boutique setup where other brides and families could see dress reveals and hear each other's conversations. My belongings stayed on the floor of my changing area, and I got myself into each gown before the stylist came back in to get me fully fastened. I thought nothing of it because it was my first time wedding dress shopping and assumed that was just how it worked! Then we walked into Ladies of Lineage and I immediately realized how different the experience could be. The boutique itself makes you WOW at how beautiful it is! It feels elevated and luxurious while still being incredibly warm and welcoming. Elizabeth greeted my mom, sister, and me with champagne, then sat down with us to get to know me, my wedding, what I thought I wanted, and what we were comfortable spending. She gave us a tour of the gorgeous showroom and then pulled dresses for me based on everything we had discussed. We had our own beautiful glass-enclosed bridal suite with a couch for my mom and sister, a huge mirror, a curtained changing area, and even drawers for my clothes, shoes, purse, etc. Elizabeth personally helped me in AND out of every gown while my mom and sister got to relax with their champagne and wait for each exciting reveal. It felt so private and intimate, like those moments belonged to just the three of us. Elizabeth immediately made me feel comfortable and was SO easy to talk to. She was also the BEST hype girl ever!!! By the end I basically wanted her to be my new BFF and literally invited her to my wedding There were so many gorgeous dresses in the price range we discussed, and I really appreciated that Elizabeth respected it. She never pressured us to spend more or pulled dresses I couldn't realistically say yes to. The first dress was more in line with what I thought I wanted, but dress #2 was Elizabeth's wild card...and THAT became my wedding dress!!! I was immediately obsessed. I tried on one more just to be sure, but all I wanted was #2 back on, so I knew there was no reason to keep trying! Once I found THE dress, Elizabeth helped me create the entire look. She somehow pulled my hair into the most perfect bun in about 30 seconds, and I was so impressed I asked if she could do my wedding hair too When I asked about jewelry, she immediately found the perfect necklace and earrings, then helped me find my perfect veil. I bought the whole look!!! When I officially said YES, she celebrated right alongside us, took my "Down with the Gown" pictures, and had me sign the champagne cork. She made an already huge moment feel even more special! The care continued after my appointment too. Elizabeth mailed me the sweetest handwritten note welcoming me to the Ladies of Lineage family, and they later personally invited me to an exclusive event to meet Sassi Holford, the designer of my wedding gown, while she was visiting from London! I unfortunately couldn't attend, but being thought of and invited as one of their Sassi brides meant so much. I walked into Ladies of Lineage hoping to find my wedding dress and left having had the bridal experience I didn't even know existed. It was the first time I really felt like a BRIDE, and it's a memory my mom, sister, and I will always have together! I'm completely obsessed with my dress and cannot wait to wear it on my wedding day!!! If you're wedding dress shopping in Charlotte, do yourself a favor and don't go anywhere but Ladies of Lineage!!! I cannot recommend Elizabeth and Ladies of Lineage enough!!!

If you're a bride searching for your gown, stop looking and come here first…read more Having a boutique that offers in-house alterations is absolutely key when finding the right dress. I learned this the hard way. I originally bought a gown from another well-known shop, planning to have it tailored to fit me better than the sample I tried on. Once it arrived, I discovered that altering it to suit my body type was nearly impossible. Fast forward to Friday, my wedding was on Tuesday and I walked into New York Bridal with the faint hope of finding a dress that fit off the rack. I was greeted immediately by Joanne, who listened as I explained my situation and how I needed a miracle on my lunch break. Without hesitation, Joanne brought in Sarah, Reality, and Amir, and together they created the most supportive, "all hands on deck" environment I could imagine. They made me feel calm, hopeful, and even excited again. After trying on just three dresses, I found my dream gown, one that fit like a glove with no alterations needed. I'm beyond grateful for their patience, honesty, and teamwork. This experience is something I'll never forget, and I want to save other brides from making the same costly mistake I did. The team here truly knows their dresses and what works for different body types. And if they're not 100% sure, they'll go straight to the seamstress to confirm whether something is possible. That kind of expertise and transparency is what makes this place exceptional. Do yourself a favor. start your dress search at New York Bridal. I wish I would have!

After 3 visits to this store (indecisive self), I decided to finally say Yes to the Dress!!!! Each time from the first time I walked into the building it was clean, smiles on faces, everyone eager to help, variety of dresses, veils, tuxes etc, smelled good in there, and everyone was so nice and kind and helpful! I felt at home! Leila was thee best!!! She was knowledgeable, patient, very funny, energetic, helpful, kind and made me feel beautiful in every dress.

It completed the whole look in a way that felt timeless and magical without being overdone. Savvy Bride made the entire process joyful and stress-free, and I walked out feeling confident, beautiful, and 100% sure I'd found the one. If you want a dress (and veil!) that feels like you, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend!

I was…read morewith my mom, who came in for the weekend from out of town, so I was really hoping that we could nail down some options for the dress to ultimately purchase. Fabulous Frocks is a consignment bridal store that carries both bridal and bridesmaid dresses. They sell once-worn and off the rack designer gowns sent in from either designers or other local boutiques. Because of their concept, they're able to offer great quality dresses at discounted prices. I worked with Amanda that day and she was very helpful. After trying on a few dresses, she pulled a few more after noting the elements that I liked. With each dress, she pointed out the details of the dress, including any imperfections, and helped me picture what it would look like bustled, etc. which all helped me make my decision. I ended up finding the one - it was the first one I tried and kept going back to :) - and cancelled the rest of my day so I could spend it doing other fun things with my mom. I had a great experience at Fabulous Frocks and would recommend anyone in the bridal market to take a look here before making their final decision.

Faboulous Frocks was the 3rd store we visited, and I ended up coming back the same day to purchase the dress I tried on. I was not sure what to expect, since it looked like it was a consignment bridal shop. The name "consignment" did not do it justice, because every dress I tried on was gorgeous. I was also able to order the dress I tried on brand new (I had the option to buy the one off the rack, but since I am getting married in October I did not feel pressured to take that one home right away.) Amanda and her team are amazing, and I think in the end their customer service is what made me select them over some of the other dresses I had in mind.
