I went here looking for a bridesmaid gown. I live in Charlotte so I called before I went to make sure they have plus sized bridesmaid gowns as my maid of honor is plus sized. I was told they do and they have size extenders to try on gowns. No appointment needed to try on bridesmaid gowns. So we drive all the way there only to find the woman were very snooty and rude and barely wanted to help us. And it also turns out they don't have any plus size bridesmaid gowns they can only order them.
Then, on the way out I saw a cute pair of shoes on the wall behind the main desk. I was standing there talking to my bridesmaid about how nice they were and I wanted to see them. Well the lady at the computer at the main desk literally ignored me for a long time before looking up to even aknowledge us standing there. She knew I wanted to see the shoes because she (without prompting) asked which shoe I wanted to see.

I would never, ever recommend this store to anyone. The sales women are extremly dismissive and stuck up. I didn't like my experience here...at all! I will be looking elsewhere for a bridesmaid gown.

I love the ambiance at Poffie Girls and the service is great. You never ever feel rushed and even when it is busy... it is never crazy or uncomfortably so (at least in the bridal department). I had such a great experience shopping for my dress here and playing with different accessories to find the look I was going for. The women at Poffie Girls are the farthest thing from pretentious (which is not always the case in the world of wedding dress shopping) and have no problem trying to help you stay within budget. They know their selection and prices very well and must do some mental notes as they steer you around the store so you don't fall in love with a dress out of budget (you might find it on your own anyway, but at least they aren't pushing you into it!). I really appreciated the gentle honesty and opinions offered when I asked for them as I came down to decision time. My experience with the alterations was incredible. I never even really experienced sticker shock when I found out the price because I had been so impressed with the care and thoroughness taken with my alterations. I'm 5'1 and knew that work was going to need to be done... my second fitting showed we still needed to take more off the hem and the seamstress amazed me as she battled with pins and fabric as she tried to keep the original shape of the dress despite the massive amount of fabric that was being removed. She pulled it off beautifully and by the end of it... I just wanted to hug her for not only her hard work but what a joy she was to talk to throughout the process. A very big thanks to the women here and all their help... they are highly recommended!!

I have to say that I loved my dress from Poffie Girls! My first visit was fun and the staff was very helpful. They were very concious of what i wanted to spend and were sure to stay in that range. I went back a few times to try on my dress and every time the staff was more than willing to give me a spot to try it on and accessorize. During the alterations process I started to feel a little less "special". It seems like they had gotten my business and no longer needed to impress me. It was disappointing to feel this way after such a fun start. The attitudes did alter my perception of Poffie Girls, but overall it was a good experience"

the lady who helped my daughter pick out her prom dress was extremely helpful and nice, although I don't remember her name. But i do remember Vicky who was extremely snooty and rude. She made us not want to shop there anymore. Although, we love the dresses, we will never shop at Poffie Girls in Gastonia again.

I purchased my wedding gown from Poffie Girls after going to several other local Charlotte vendors first. This was the first place where I didn't feel judged for wanting to spend less than $1000 on a wedding gown. When you have to pay for these things yourself, you need to watch your budget!! The shop is in an adorable house, and the ladies there took great care of me! My mom, sister, and I were about to go into the back and look through the racks of dresses alongside the lady assisting, and we tried on a BUNCH of gowns. I had the dream 'bride' moment when I put on my Mori Lee gown and just fell in love. We had a great experience overall at Poffie Girls. They give you one free pressing with your gown purchase, and are very flexible with the dates and making sure they provide great service.

Poffie Girls made finding my dress the easiest thing about my wedding. I had a very knowledgeable bridal consultant who found my perfect dress almost immediately. The beautiful venue just made the occasion more special... as did the price!

They were great to work with, especially the alterations department. I loved my gown!!

While the woman that worked with me is absolutely fantastic (Sara), I cannot say much for some of the others. Sara deserves 5 stars across the board, but I cannot rate the business that high due to several things. First of all, many of the employees have an extremely snooty attitude and are rude. Second of all, there was the problem with the bridesmaid's dresses. After telling me the dresses were ordered in plenty of time and that no rush order was possible on the particular brand, they called me back over a month later to tell me they would not be there in time and that I must pay $100 to add a rush to the order. I told them that would not be possible and so they canceled my order! I went with my friend to the store the next day to speak to the owner in person, and she placed the order back on and told me she thought everything would be fine, but they couldn't guarantee anything. The dresses ended up getting here in time, but the owner did not even apologize or admit any wrong in the employees that canceled my order. We were going to get all of the tuxes from them too, but we ended up going to Bedazzled because of the rude behavior. On the upside, the alterations lady (I think her name was Mary but I can't remember) did an excellent job and I was very pleased. They were not too expensive either. I loved my gown, but all gowns in that store are pricey. Just be careful if you go here!

I had the perfect wedding from the beginning to the end. The beginning was Poffie Girls. I have referred many of my friends to Poffie Girls over the years, and when it was my turn, I knew exactly where to start. I love Poffie Girls. First, Poffie Girls has a semi-closed inventory, which means when you walk in the store you are not overwhelmed by dresses. They have plenty of dresses on their showroom floor to look through, but the bulk of their dresses are in their storeroom. From the second you walk into Poffie Girls, you know it is going to be a great experience because you are assigned a consultant who is with you from beginning to end. Sara was my consultant and she was fabulous. Second, your consultant starts by asking you what you want out of a wedding dress and then how much you want to spend. One of the worst things is falling in love with a dress that you cannot afford. You see it happen all the time on "Say Yes to the Dress." The consultant does not pull any dresses you cannot afford. She will start you out with about 5 dresses and will keep trying to you find the right one. The dress I wore was a dress that I would have never picked out for myself, but that is the beauty of working with an experience consultant, she knows what looks good . . . and she made me look amazing! Third, your consultant will help you with everything else . . . from bridesmaid dresses to tuxedos to flower girl dresses to accessories! Poffie Girls can do it all!

I bought my wedding dress from Poffie Girls for my wedding this past May. Poffie Girls made me feel like a princess when I was there. I would recommend it to anyone and will take my engaged friends there to have the full experience of wedding gown shopping. The lights were dimmed as I walked out of the dressing room with romantic music playing and lights. It was so much fun! My dress was perfect and on sale, I was wayyyy under budget.

I loved the consultant I was put with. However, i made several trips back after the purchase of my dress and no one remembered my name. They were impersonal and, on several accounts, rude. They have great selections but the staff is not so nice.

I bought my wedding dress from Poffie Girls. My dress was perfect AND it was on sale for more than half off the original price! I am from out of town and Poffie Girls was very flexible on scheduling my alteration appointments for times when I would be in the area. The only problem I encountered was in the alternations area. I felt that my dress could have been a little shorter and the bussel attachments made stronger. I ended up having to sling my train over my arm for the majority of the reception because the buttons and strings didn't hold my bussel. Oh well. It was still the perfect day.

Poffie Girls was like a dream come true for me. I felt like a princess when I was there and all of the bridal consultants (especially Sara) were extremely polite and helpful. I would definitely recommend this dress boutique to brides and grooms. They also have a tux shop.

I had a great experience finding my dress & veil at Poffie Girls. All of the consultants were very helpful & made me feel like a queen. The alterations department was pretty good, but I do feel like my hem should have been a little shorter. If I didn't walk carefully, I would trip over the front of my dress.

they were great at helping me choose my gown, altering, and pressing my gown.

My only complaint was that there never seemed to be enough people working to help all the customers that were there shopping. Their selection was great and had dresses in just about every price range.
