Dar-Lynn's Bridal & Formal

The ladies at Dar-Lynn's were great to work with, especially my girl, Carla. I got my dress, my flower girl dress, shoes, and veil from here. All were just what I wanted and expected. My shoes were dyed perfectly! Only bad part was my drive - 45 mins each way. However, they made it easy by staying open late one day a week for us working girls! Thanks ladies!

Dar-Lynn's is a great established bridal and formal wear shop. I was looking for a destination wedding dress and they were one of the only stores in the Charlotte area that had more than three dresses to select from. They people that work there are Southern sweet and hospitiable. There was a major hiccup with my dress but it was resolved within two weeks! I brought four of my five bridesmaids in (we are a loud, rowdy bunch). The woman helping us find the dresses kept us all on track and gave her honest opinion. You could tell this was not her first rodeo.Dar-Lynn's did a wonderful job outfitting my bridesmaids and me and I am so happy to have delt with them!

I found my dress very quickly at this store, I had seen it marked up in several other stores and they offered me a 20% discount on the spot! I was amazed. Their seamstress did a great job also with the adjustments.

Everyone at Dar-Lynn's was so nice. The tuxedos we ordered for my husband and son looked great, and since my son had grown so much since we ordered his tuxedo the jacket did not fit, but they got another one in right away for us. I wish I had also got my dress from them since they were so awesome, but they did do a great and FAST job on the alterations for my reception dress, and I love the brooch I picked out there as well! Thank you all so much!

I had a very hard time finding the perfect dress. I had already been to 5 difference dress shops. I was told by 4 girls at work to go to Dar-Lynns.I scheduled an appt for Thursday evening. I went by myself and had an amazing time. Pam, the manger worked with me. I picked out 10 different dresses. I knew immediately which ones I hated. Pam provided me with her honest opinion.The last dress I tried on.....was the one. The minute I looked into the mirror, I got tears in my eyes. The dress was a casablanca fall 2006. I was so worried about the price. For all the bead work and cut of the dress it was 700. I was thrilled. She informed me that she would take my measurements, and send them in. The dress designers makes your dress to fit you, so there are no extra costs in alterations. I told her that I would come back with my mom. My mom flew down to NC in 3 weeks and we went to look at the dress. Mom made me try on 6 more dresses to make sure it was the one. We picked out a little jacket for the Catholic Church, veil, and my dress. It was 1100.00. I was so excited. They provided me with approximate arrival times for each item. They of course didn't arrive when they were suppose too. But I had 3 months to spare. Everything fit perfect. The staff was great and accommodating with my work schedule. I had two different fittings. The first was to try on the dress, and the second was to get the train bustled. It was a great experience. I couldn't thank them enough for all their help.Thanks, Pam

My dress was by far the most beautiful dress that I have ever seen! But the price was the most beautiful thing that my mom had ever seen. They were really nice to me in the store. I got my dress in Nov. 2008 and my wedding was not until Sept. 2010 but they did not mind that I must have come in and tried on my dress at least 15 times. Great Service!

they were helpful, huge selection, i got to go through all the dresses an pick out what i wanted. huge maggie sottero selection , i went there just for maggie and ended up buying a exclusive maggie sottero dress. it came in after only 5 mths, i just did my bridal shoot an got 4 grass stains in my dress and they got out every last one of them ,who ever cleans the dresses rocks!!

I found my dream wedding dress at Dar-Lynn's! When I went into the store for the 1st time to try on dresses, all the employees were very nice and accommodating. But after I purchased the dress, they treated me differently since they already had my money/business. I had to go in several more times for fittings, alterations, to find a veil and shoes, and I never felt very welcome.

We really like our tuxes and bridesmaids dresses/the wedding dress. The people that worked at the store weren't very friendly but apparently it's the place to go to in Charlotte. Overall I was happy with the price and what we got.

Dar-Lynn's has a huge selection of Maggie Sottero's, which is why I originally stopped in. The young workers aren't exactly professional, but once I found my dress I dealt with an older lady who was immensly helpful. I knew what I was looking for and didn't require much assistance. If you're dependent on a consultant to help you find the one, I'd consider taking a friend. I had absolutely NO problems with finding or having my dress ordered from Dar-Lynn's. They called once it arrived and I decided to have my alterations done through them just in case anything happened. They did a fabulous job and alterations were affordable (hem taken up, bodice let out and bustled for $140). I also had my bridesmaid dresses ordered here. Nothing but positive remarks on this! Dresses came in SUPER fast, all fit well and were a great deal at $124/each!!! Consider this store while you shop, you'll be please!

It doesn’t look like much from the outside but I thought they had great variety and even though some of the staff are young, they are honest. My biggest complaints were that they sell a ton of prom/pageant dresses so if you're there at the wrong time, it's hard to feel "special." Also, the seamstress, Linda, seemed to be really rushing me.

I loved my dress, the alterations were done right at the store and were done right one time, it turned out great!

Dar-Lynn's was fabulous. It was the 5th or 6th place that I looked, and other salons had told me that everything I wanted in my dream gown did not exist. I walked into Dar-Lynn's and they allowed me to search through the dresses on my own and pull what I wanted to try on. I discovered the Maggie Sottero section and found THE dress. The dress that I was told did not exist, existed, and I immediately tried it on and fell in love. The order was in within 6 months, perfect fit, and the seamstress did the bustling. I also ordered a crinoline and veil that matched the dress wonderfully.

Gown:

I would give them more stars if I could! I had bought my prom dress here, and I knew that this would be where I would get my wedding dress. This is a great store, they have amazing selection, and the dresses are of excellent quality. They also have great sales several times a year, and I was able to get 30% off the price of my 2008 model dress. I came here with my mother and they were really nice about looking at the pictures of the dress I wanted, and then made great selections that matched my style and what I wanted.

Alterations:
My mother did the alterations on the bridemaid's dresses, but Dar-Lynn did the alterations for my dress. The sales' consultant made the appointment for me and the seamstress, and the seamstress was great about fitting me for the dress. The price was perfect, it didn't cost that much at all, and the dress looked great.

Everyone at Dar-Lynn's was very professional and helpful when looking for the right dress. They did not stalk around after me but let me look and take my time. When I found a dress I wanted to try on, someone was nearby and would take the dress into the fitting room for me. The fitting rooms are very large and the staff is helpful with getting into the dresses. After I chose "the dress" they were very kind and professional with scheduling fittings and appointments for alterations and steaming. My dress came in within 2 months of ordering it and they even kept it for me until my wedding.

Dar-Lynn's Bridal & Formal Wear saved me and my bridesmaid's a bunch of time. That is exactly where I got my bridesmaid's dress for all of my bridesmaid's at and all of the bridesmaid's dresses were real nice and they match my bridal gown colors and also they went very well with my wedding and they looked great on all of my bridesmaid's. The service was wonderful and they really put a lot of time into helping me and my bridesmaid's. They were very pleasant to be around and they let us take our time we were happy.

I bought my dress in a sample sale and got a really good deal. However, the people aren't very friendly.

My husbands tux was supposed to arrive 2 days before the wedding and he had to got get it the morning of the wedding. Very unprofessional. They value their prom people mre than their brides. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!

i would like to say that i appreciated how nice and the great quality of the dress was at this little shop was. i loved my gown and so did everyone else. i got so many compliments. thank you for serving me with the best.rebecca

The staff at this petite shop helped me find my ideal bridal gown. They were willing to work with me even though I lived nowhere nearby- I was on vacation when I found my dream gown, so they mailed it home to me in Louisville! Excellent flexibility, excellent prices.
