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.

Talk about easy to work with - HES THE BEST!! Even when my wife just wanted to come in and use her color samples of her bridesmaids dress to compare, Mike was there to offer his opinion and expertise. Not one problem with Gregory's. Tux was awesome! My groomsmen loved them. Fit absolutely perfect. Personal service at its best. Not one day did Mike forget who I was when I walked in. Great old fashioned service with a smile. Highly HIGHLY recommend them to everybody. No need to look around any further. Gregory's Formal Wear is the place to go.

We were greeted and was asked what we wanted and we would get a sales person to help us with picking out dresses. Quite similar to Yes To The Dress television show. The store was busy with young ladies looking for prom dresses. Some dresses on racks were readily available and others had to be ordered. Our sales lady was very attentive to our needs. After dresses were picked out, she escorted us to a fitting room and helped take dresses off the hanger and help zip up the dresses. The dresses were pretty , expensive in my opinion. The ones we tried on were $400 to $600 and of course needed some alterations if we wanted them shortened. Alterations were done elsewhere. I did not like most of the dresses shown for myself as they were very matronly looking with heavy beaded material. When customers bought a dress, an announcement was made : "she said yes to the dress" and staff and customers clapped. Just my daughter ended buying a lovely dress. My granddaughter and I would have to look elsewhere to buy a fancy dress. I personally prefer high end department store dresses that carry styles that I prefer.

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!
