    Back of dress

    I am so jealous that many people had great experiences with Kira and her team. I unfortunately did not have the best experience. To preface, I recently moved to the area and I only had one month for alterations. In my home town 8 hours away, I have had the same seamstress for 10 years and have never had any issues like I have here. During my first appointment, Kira's team was not very personable. She seemed uninterested in being there and it felt like I was a bother coming into the shop. She was sick that day so maybe that is why it felt that way but I continued to feel that way at the following 6 appointments. I was really hoping I would be meeting with someone who was super upbeat and excited since this was going to be the dress for the biggest day of my life but that was not the case. During my first appointment, she did not ask me how I wanted my dress to look, she just started pinning the top. I later learned that she has no seamstress experience and I believe that is what caused a lot of the issues. She was not pinning the dress correctly. I think I had one or two more appointments after this at which the dress was still not close to how I wanted it to look. When I first met Kira at I believe my third or fourth appointment, she was very nice and put me at ease with how my dress would look. At my second to last appointment she was a bit rude and at one point stopped speaking to me and walked away but at least she was pinning my dress correctly and more in line with my vision than her assistant was so I just let it happen as I didn't have another choice. It took 6 fittings to get the dress to be altered from top to bottom and it was still not how I wanted it to be. I showed the assistant a picture of how I envisioned it being and it was nothing like that. They made the dress too tight to where I could not breathe but blamed it on me being bloated. I asked them if they recalled pinning it at a previous appointment and maybe it just got taken in too tight and they said no you're just bloated. I ended up telling them that I had a picture where they did in fact pin it the previous appointment and they took it in too much by mistake. They did not apologize or own up to the mistake. They told me the whole time they needed to take in the top and sides of the dress before they did the hem so it would not be too short but they ended up doing the sides and hem at the same time which did in fact make my dress too short. There was puckering down the side of my dress that they said they could not fix. I spoke with another seamstress and this is easily fixable and is typically due to poor seamstress work. At one point, they pinned down the sides the way I wanted it but said they would not cut the fabric until I decided I liked it. At the next appointment Kira was there and seemed nervous and kept ensuring me I would love the dress. I realized the reason she was saying this was because they accidentally cut the fabric out but was she honest with me about that? No. I have had many dresses altered in my life and have never experienced something like this. My seamstress back at home took in a dress 7 sizes for me in a month and it looked perfect. This dress was almost my size and was the most difficult experience I have ever had. I just moved here within the past year and trusted the recommendation from the dress shop I purchased my dress from and am highly disappointed they would recommend Kira. When I picked up my wedding dress, it did mostly turn out the way that I wanted it to other than the back as they just took it in too much (see photo for how it was supposed to look vs how mine looked. The strap and fabric are up under by armpit not my back and therefore the straps kept falling off.). They did let out the bust of the dress as much as they could, fixed the puckering, and it ended up looking how I mostly wanted it to but the process was honestly so stressful and exhausting and it shouldn't have been. I also just wish they were up front and honest with me instead of hiding their mistakes. Having that transparency would have changed this review quite a bit for me. I would not recommend going here and if you do please just have proof of everything, let them know what you want, and make sure you stand up for yourself. It is your day, not theirs.

    Love the feeling when you walk in so so girly and all the styles are very on trend. However, if you…read morewant a hemline that is knee length or has no cut outs, or a dress you can wear a normal bra with this shop is not for you. Brought my friend who is pretty busty and she couldn't fit anything which is a little bit... ridiculous. I would love to see same styles a little longer and more grown up. Love the prints, prices, and such. Anything that is a traditional fit (which I'm defining as something I could wear to brunch with my kids or parents) the sizes sell out instantly. I would say that's solid feed back for the owners that they need more options that have bit more appeal for the average woman and maybe even a couple options for larger sizes most if not all only go up to large and the large is often times more akin to a medium. If they wish to corner the market on college type girl style I think they successfully do it. I took of a point because although I will still continue to shop here... i occasionally get lucky, I would hesitate to bring another friend in as options are fairly limited. Get in the text chain from website for flash sales ( although don't wait if you see your size they literally sell out so fast)

    They never shipped out my order, and I paid extra for priority shipping as well. I placed my order…read more2 weeks ago, and the item I ordered was not a preorder or anything like that, it was an item in stock. I've emailed them more than once on this issue, originally just asking for an update on when my order would be shipped. I have received no response whatsoever, yet they post on their instagram dozens of times a day on their story. The email I have been contacting is the exact email that is associated with their confirmation emails when you place an order, it is not a no reply email. It even says in the confirmation email to contact it or reply with any questions. So either that's a lie and no one monitors the email, or they're flat out ignoring my concerns over my order that I paid for. Either way, I am extremely disappointed. Examples like these are what make it harder to support certain small businesses over major corporations.

    I had the BEST shopping experience at Gwynn's! I sent Haley Ann a few ideas of my style (since it…read morewas my first time shopping there) and she totally got it! The fitting room was pre-stocked with so many wonderful options, it was hard to choose only 5! Everybody in the store was warm and welcoming, and the store is incredibly well curated. I live 2000 miles away, but will shop here whenever I'm near by and reach out to Haley Ann remotely if I need (or want!) something else.

    I was immediately drawn to this store with the most regal window displays. Both the clothing and…read morethe decor were so high end, I was worried I would feel out of place with my Lilly Pulitzer activewear. However, our group was warmly greeted by Marshall and Casey. 2 gems! I truly felt like a queen. Behind one door was a magical, beautiful, magnificent private dressing room. Our personal stylist, Casey, pulled a few items for us and we tried them on in the private room. I settled on this buttery soft house coat that can also be worn as a cardigan. Casey was warm, bubbly and provided us with water and champagne. She couldn't do enough to accommodate our little group! This place and more importantly these people made my heart so happy! If you're in Charleston, you must stop by Gwynn's in Mt. Pleasant! I am so excited to go back for my next purchase. Treat yourself to a lavish item from this store at least once annually! All of us hardworking individuals deserve such luxury. Thank you again Marshall and Casey for your world class service and kindness!
