Thank you so much to Rachele for helping me find my perfect dress! She was patient, insightful, and totally understood what I was looking for. She even managed to pick out perfect bow pearl earrings for me to wear for all upcoming bridal events. Rachele was wonderful and the experience at Poffie Girls was so much fun.
This was the best bridal salon ever. This was the first one I had went to and found my dress right off the bat so I ended up cancelling all my other appointments. I had wanted to have my family there and they couldn't be there until the next day, so at last minute they booked me to be sure my family could be there with me to pick up my dress. They were so amazing and even text me the weekend of my wedding. Customer service is outstanding.
The perfect place to find your perfect dress!!! I came in looking for inspiration for a custom dress and walked away with this show stopping dress. A great place to find the dress - even for us alternative brides!
This is a great place to find your perfect Mother of the Bride/Groom gown. The designer selection is very good & the staff is absolutely fabulous! They are extremely helpful & had great recommendations when making my final selection. Shout out to Rachele & store manager Pam for their excellent service!
I’m plus sized so what a little apprehensive about dress shopping, as I wasn’t sure if they would have appropriate sizes and they did!!! They were wonderful and made me feel so beautiful!
I found my dream dress here! Rachele was very helpful with my vision and helped bring it to life through my dress. My mom, my sister, and myself got our wedding dresses from here, and I got prom dresses here back when I was in high school! Highly recommend!
Staff is so kind and friendly! Found my perfect dress!
One of the best experiences! From the moment I stepped into the salon to the moment I said yes to the dress and left I felt so catered too! The first dress I tired on ended up being THE DRESS! They gave you fill out a questionnaire to see what your style is so they can have dresses pulled for you when you come for the appointment, plus you can pick out ones you like as well! They text you, email you, and give you a call once your dress has come in! You get to go back and try it on before you take it home! Again such a great experience from start to finish! These girls are amazing and you can tell they absolutely love their job! Thanks poffie girls for making my dream come true!
Finding my dress here was my favorite pre-wedding chore. I loved their studio, their attendants were all very helpful and knowledgeable and they went above and beyond for me. My dress was big when it came in, and I had to have 4 inches altered out of the back so I'm not sure the girl who measured me got it exactly right. But the level of service I received far outweighs this tiny mishap. I would shop here no doubt!
I purchased my gown from Poffie Girls and it was so beautiful! The experience here is like no other! You walk in and are immediately greeted by a staff member. The place is so cute, it’s in a white mansion. They have a ton to select from and really listen to your needs. It is full service so you have someone to answer your questions and help you in and out of the gowns. They make it fun and easy for a nervous bride. 100% go to Poffie Girls if you want the experience, quality, and memories!
Highly recommend Poffie Girls! One of my best friends got married in July and highly recommended them to me. I went and found my dress almost immediately, which came as a shock to me as I assumed I would have a lot of trouble making a decision. Since then my friends and I have recommended Poffie Girls to other friends who have also found their dream dress there. The experience was easy, comfortable, and exciting. Absolutely recommend!
Poffie Girls is the absolute best!!
A beautiful store with beautiful dresses. The experience was easy and so simple. Bought my perfect dress there today and couldn’t be happier!!
I found my dream dress at Poffie girls! This is a great one stop shop for a bride to be. Once I found my dress, they helped me pick my earrings and veil too. I had so many emotions and a big weight off of my shoulders after I left that day. My mom found her MOB dress a few weeks after and it was perfect for her. Truly a great experience!
I had such a wonderful experience getting my wedding dress from Poffie girls! The ladies there were so friendly and helpful! The building is gorgeous! I am OBSESSED with my dress! And they helped me find a matching veil, head piece, and earrings! I felt like the most beautiful bride on our big day. Thank you again!
Amazing customer service. My dress came in quickly, even during the middle of the pandemic!
Caroline was incredible! She was so excited to help me find my dress. She took all the things I loved about each gown and found me the perfect dress. Poffie girls was amazing, all staff were kind and friendly, and followed all COVID precautions. Thanks for the perfect experience and I can’t wait for my special day!
I bought my dress in the summer of 2019 and ended up not wearing it until this summer (2021). I still remember my experience at Poffie Girls as everything was perfect. I worked with Jonna, she made me feel super comfortable, listened to what I was looking for, and never brought anything that was out of budget. At many other stores I gave a budget and they still brought out dresses that were more expensive than my top number. Jonna really worked to stay within my budget while making me feel like a supermodel. I ended up with a stunning Justin Alexander dress that was exactly the vibe I was going for and I didn't even know it!! Jonna saw that I loved the fitted dresses but also wanted to feel like I was wearing a ballgown and she found just that...a fitted dress with a detachable train. I would highly recommend buying your wedding dress her!
I came to Poffie Girls FIVE days before my wedding because I decided last minute that I wanted a reception dress to change into. They found me my dream dress and the in house seamstress also made it really easy, insuring that what I needed done could be possible in such a short turn around. Beautiful selection of dresses and options and well kept dresses! ❤️
I had the best experience at Poffie Girls. Sophie was amazing and helped me find the dress of my dreams! She made everything so easy. I would definitely recommend going to Poffie Girls.
Couldn’t have been any happier with my experience at Poffie Girls! From start to finish they made me feel special and helped me decide exactly what I wanted. I can’t wait to wear my dream dress!
I had a wonderful experience! I worked with Vicki and she was very sweet. I went in expecting to fall in love with something very specific but ended up choosing something completely different. It’s perfect and I immediately home love. The salon is nice and very cozy, I liked it a lot more than bigger retail and chain stores. They also followed really good Covid guidelines. I definitely had my bridal moment and said yes to the dress!
I can only compare Poffie Girl to one other wedding dress boutique and WOW the difference! Everyone at Poffie Girl was wonderful! I didn't feel judged or looked down on. My consultant was Sofie and I recommend her 100 percent! Sofie was the best! She gave great advice and helped me narrow my dress selection AND I loved the dresses she pulled for me! Sofie was very kind and very professional. I ended up choosing a dress that she had pulled for me and I'm in love with my dress and can't wait for my husband to-be to see the dress on me! Thank you Poffie Girl and Sofie!
I had such a great experience working with Caroline at Poffie Girls. She helped me find the perfect wedding dress. Everyone working in the store was helpful and professional. I will definitely refer friends and family!
The Stylist quickly identified my daughters style and presented the perfect options. Of course…the perfect dress was one of her selections!
Caroline was amazing! I was unsure about my dress at first because of the size but she gave me all of the details about what I would request them to take out of the dress. She made the dress look how it will when I get it back! Everyone was super sweet and helpful.
Had the best experience yesterday picking out my dream wedding gown. The store, staff, and selection is outstanding! Caroline was the sweetest stylist ever and was so patient with me. I got my senior prom dress here and knew if I went anywhere for bridal... it had to be here! Top of the line service!
Vicki SAVED my wedding. I originally bought my dress at a different store. The tailor that store sent me to RUINED MY DRESS. It was such amateur work, I couldn't believe it. She cut THROUGH the lace on the hem of the dress and the hem was jaggedy and uneven, not to mention the side seam alteration was uneven and didn't match, plus the straps were half an inch uneven. My bridesmaid was calling different stores to buy the floor sample of my original dress because we were 5 days out from the wedding! Vicki was able to contact the designer and found the LAST dress in my size in the world! She had the dress overnighted and we were able to get it to a new tailors 4 days before the wedding! I can not explain how grateful I am to Vicki for getting my dress for me! THANK YOU!!!
One of the best experiences I’ve had! I never felt pressured to buy a certain dress- I only felt encouraged to feel beautiful and figure out was for me!
I am a mature bride, planning an elegant vow renewal in August of this year. I tried to make an appointment online, but was unable, so my friend and I decided to come to Gastonia and speak to someone in person. I already had a dress appointment at Bedazzled, but I was not 100% sure and wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing anything. Poffie Girls seemed like a nice shop with a good selection, so we came in. I told the young lady at the desk that I did not have an appointment, but that we were hoping to take a look at a few of the dresses. I knew exactly the style I was looking for, but did not have the opportunity to tell her. She went to ask the manager if we could take a look at the dresses in the store. I mean really? I was not asking to try anything on. When she came back she told us we could look briefly, but then wanted to make an appointment for us to come back. Next Saturday. I felt that was too late but hey they are busy, so I’ll bite. Then she asked me for my credit card so that they could guarantee my visit, which I didn’t have any intention of missing. I just felt like this place was pretentious and a bit snobby. I declined and left the shop. I bought my dress today. At Bedazzled. Where we were treated as GUESTS. If you are by appointment only and you don’t want to sell to the brides who don’t have appointments or even permit them to see a dress, much less feign any interest in their needs, perhaps you should just lock the door and put an appointment only sign on it.
Wow! Such an amazing experience. I went in to the appointment thinking I had an idea of what I wanted, but I went with something totally different. I’m so pleased with classic, elegant bridal gown! My consultant was fantastic and truly listened to me, but expanded my possibilities. Even during covid, my family and friend were able to be there in person or through video chat. It meant so much! ❤️I can’t wait for my future hubby to see me in this come December.
Both of my stylists were more than helpful and nice. I could not recommend this place more. My dress is breathtaking and was under $2000. They have the best dresses and service in NC.
This was my first and only stop for my dream dress. I came to try on a specific dress by Lillian West that I've had my eye on, as well as look at the other styles and designs. The dresses I tried on were all so lovely and Bobbi Lee went above and beyond for me! She was so easy to get along with and really made me feel comfortable! I ended up saying yes to the dress I came for and Bobbi Lee added the perfect veil. I truly cannot wait to walk down the aisle in my Lillian West Dress! Thank you guys so much!
I bought my wedding dress and accessories (veil, headpiece, and earrings) from Poffie Girls and I couldn’t be happier. Melissa helped me one on one to find my absolute dream dress. She was very helpful and a joy to work with that day. My experience with Poffie girls was absolutely amazing and I will never forget it.
Melissa was amazing!! I went in with a pretty clear picture of what I wanted in my wedding dress. She took my feedback from the first few dresses and pulled one for me she had in mind. It was PERFECT and was the dres she said yes too!
Cannot recommend Poffie girls and Melissa enough!
Also they were very safe a cautious with mask wearing and cleaning!
Bobbi was such a great help! Very patient & so supportive. She made me feel so beautiful and confident in my choice!
LOVED my overall experience at Poffie Girls but more so all of the help from BobbiLee! She was amazing & knew exactly what dresses to pull, what looked best on my body, what kind of veil and accessories would work best— I cannot express how happy I was with her help & the dress I ended up going with :) Great bridal shop & great affordable prices as well!
Wow! I looked everywhere for a dress and was starting to stress but THEN I tried poffie girls. They have the kindest and most helpful people and a fantastic selection. They turned a stressful part of wedding planning into one of the most fun! Can’t recommend enough
I called Poffie Girls in May to book my bridal appointment for August 1st. I specifically chose Poffie Girls, because I plan to wear a nontraditional color for my wedding gown, and their website advertises beautiful pageant wear by well-known designers. I explained this to the staff member who booked my appointment, and told her which designers I was most interested in seeing. She assured me they would have no problem accommodate my requests. I filled out the online questionnaires immediately after booking my appointment, and linked my Pinterest board where I’d saved all of my wedding dress ideas, as advised by the Poffie Girls staff member I spoke to on the phone. However, when I arrived for my appointment on Saturday, I was taken upstairs to a disappointing prom collection, and many of the dresses looked very dated. I saw no dresses by the designers I was looking for. I was told that the few dresses hanging there in the color I requested were all that were available to me, and nothing else could be ordered. I was shocked. I repeated to the consultant what I’d been told when booking my appointment, and her response was, “Well, I don’t know who you talked to, but this is all we have, and we can’t order anything else.” I was speechless. I felt like I had been intentionally misled by the website and the staff person who booked my appointment. My bridesmaid, a former pageant coach who drove three hours to attend the appointment with me, suggested we at least go downstairs and try on some traditional bridal gowns to get ideas for fit and style. When we went downstairs, we were ushered over to a very small collection of sale dresses, and told to put clips on those I’d like to try. None of those dresses were by any recognizable designers, and I struggled to find more than three that I was interested in trying on. While the first dress I tried did give me some good ideas regarding the best style for my body type, the rest were disappointing, and the dresses pulled by my consultant were horrible. I told my consultant I did not want ball gowns, that I preferred soft, light, flowing materials with lots of movement, and that I wanted a V neck that wasn’t too revealing. I had also put all of this information in the questionnaire. Instead, she brought back ball gowns with stiff, tulle skirts, and said it would have less volume if we took out some of the layers of tulle. She didn’t seem to understand that removing layers would not make the remaining tulle any softer or less stiff. I don’t believe she had much knowledge of fabrics at all. The last two dresses she brought were a heavy, strapless, satin ball gown, and an extremely heavy, matronly, dowdy, stiff dress made of a material that resembled some kind of upholstery. It was while I had this dress on in front of the three-way mirror that another staff member approached me and said, “Are you still thinking a color, or have we changed your mind yet?” I then realized they did not care what I wanted in a dress, and were only concerned with what they thought they could talk me into buying. I felt like I was being mocked. I was humiliated. What should have been a fun, exciting experience was utterly miserable. I was in tears in the dressing room. When I came out, my consultant suggested I try shopping at Bedazzled across the street, but Poffie Girls had successfully stolen my joy and excitement and willingness to even think about subjecting myself to another dress shopping experience.
My Stylist Lisa was great! She listened to my my likes and dislikes and helped me pick the perfect dress! I went to a few shops the day before and no one was more helpful or made me feel more comfortable than Lisa!
I have never felt more at ease when looking for a prom dress. They are sooo organized, put together , and put everyone’s best interest first. Bobbi Lee was my consultant and I can not say enough about her. She was amazing and so very helpful. I would recommend the store to anyone
Going anywhere other than Poffie Girls is a waste of time. There is a reason that generations shop here and it's because of their unmatched service and dedication to finding the right dress! They helped me find the dress of my dreams and I couldn't be happier! I can't wait to make Poffie Girls a part of my family traditions.
Poffie Girls has the BEST service and selection when it bridal dresses, while staying affordable. I was honored to work with Jonna and she made my experience so enjoyable. She knew exactly what to look for and what I needed. She made sure my experience was one that I would never forget and she will always have a lasting impression with me! Jonna even would go out of her way to make sure I got everything in my budge and let me know that I could customize a dress that I loved. Again, they have the best customer service and care about their brides. I went to one other bridal place besides Poffie Girls, and my experience was awful. The place did not care about customer service or making their brides feel special. I will always recommend Poffie Girls to future brides and even recommend them to try and work with Jonna. Poffie Girls is very lucky to have someone like Jonna on their staff! You will not regret getting your dress from them!
Poffie girls staff went above and beyond to make me happy with my wedding dress. My story goes as follows.. I bought a dress in September from the store that I thought I loved at the time but after putting the dress on like two weeks before the wedding in December I realized that it didn’t fit as well as I thought and I panicked and called them. They told me to bring the dress in. I brought it in as soon as I got off the phone with them and they put their lead seamstress on the dress immediately while told me I could look for another dress in the meanwhile. The seamstress took about an hour and greatly improved the fit but in the meanwhile I found another dress that was a better fit. They let me exchange the dresses honoring what I paid for the first dress and told me they were happy to help out instead of making me feel bad. But both times I was at the store trying dresses the staff was lovely to work with and listened to what I was saying about what I was looking for and helped me find the perfect dress (es) 😂
I went to 4 different boutiques in one day while looking for my dress (Prebooked appointments throughout the day and went to appointments back to back.) Poffie Girls was the first place I went and the other boutiques could not compare. Not just because of the dress I fell in love with though! the entire atmosphere, environment, customer service, employees, etc. My consultant was Jonna and when I went back to get my dress, I briefly worked with one of the managers as well though i cant recall her name. they were both great but Jonna really stood out as super helpful and sweet and really wanted me to find my perfect dress, I cannot thank her enough for the assistance and advice for going through this process. they have a incredible selection of dresses and it is a lot more comfortable to try dresses on too with their set up and the privacy of the rooms for changing. A lot of other boutiques just shove you behind a curtain and Poffie Girls has actual doors! It seems silly but it really is the little things sometimes‐ especially when you're stressed already!
My Poffie Girls experience was top notch from beginning to end! My consultant Madelyn was so helpful and found my perfect dress! My veil and dress both arrived much quicker than expected and everyone was so easy to work with. Highly recommend them for any bride!
Rene was fantastic! Loved every minute of my visit. I have been searching for a wedding gown for months and had no luck but Poffie Girls was amazing!!!!
My consultant Rene was outstanding! I would recommend Poffie to any bride no matter the budget they are so kind to every bride that comes in. I know my consultant was so mindful of my budget, my requests and handled my whole appointment like I was her own daughter and made the whole thing so special. I ended up finding my dream dress!
I was amazed at the full bridal experience while at Poffie Girls. Renee D. was extremely professional, an attentive listener and picked up on exactly what I was looking for. She left no detail unnoticed and it was clear that she is seasoned in the bridal industry. Thank you for being patient with me, Renee. I said YES TO THE DRESS!! I’m officially a Poffie Girl Bride!!
Mrs. Rene is the absolute best. Everyone in Poffie Girls is knowledgeable of all the products. She made me feel like a queen. Her love for the bridal experience is very genuine. Poffie Girls is where you need to come.
