Dar-Lynn's Bridal & Formal Wear

I bought my Casablanca wedding dress at Dar-Lynn's, as well as my veil and all 8 of my Bill Levkoff bridesmaid dresses. I had a great experience working with Christa-she was personable, helpful, honest, and accomodating. While the shop exterior is nothing to get excited about, I wouldn't let it deter you from looking. I felt like they had a huge selection, all the manufacturers I was interested in, and enough space to shop and try on dresses comfortably. My dress and veil came in ahead of schedule, and storing the gown at the shop was no problem. The trouble really is with the alterations dept!! DO NOT let Linda touch your dress!! I bought the size I was at the time of ordering, knowing that it could be altered to fit if I lost weight. Well, I lost 20 pounds. Linda told me at the second fitting in May that I could not lose any more weight because the beading and integrity of the dress would be compromised if I did. She also told me I probably wouldn't be able to have a final fitting before the wedding in June because of PROM SEASON!! That place is loaded with teenagers....but anyway. So, I said Ok took my dress for pictures,and left. The dress was huge!!! Gaps in the chest, I had no waist to speak of in the dress, and the hem was lopsided. I realized how bad it was after seeing the proofs from my bridal portrait the week after. Luckily, I got the dress fixed beautifully at Park Road Alterations in Charlotte. I think Dar-Lynn's is a good shop, they are easy to work with, but I just feel like people should know not to do any alterations there. Pros: Christa is great, love my gown, good prices Cons: Terrible alterations!! more

I went there b/c they have maggie sottero dresses. I made an appointment with a bridal consultant- and i had written down about 12 or so maggie dresses i had hoped to try on. I knew that they probably wouldnt have all of them- but i wanted to be prepared. Pros: dresses were organized Cons: high schooler was my consultant more

We purchased the wedding attire at Dar Lynn's for my three daughters weddings. The staff is wonderful to work with, very attentive to details. They have the greatest selection in the area no matter what type of wedding you are having. And they have the best ladies for alterations. I highly recommend them for bridal, cocktail, mother of the bride attire, prom and formal wear for the men in your life. We were very pleased on all three occasions spaning 14 years from first to last. more

Dar Lynn's was the perfect place for us. The staff were great to work with - very helpful and patient. My daughter found her dress there. They made her feel like she was the only customer they had that day and the store was busy. They have a great selection of wedding dresses. more

Sometimes walking into a bridal store can be overwhelming. Dar-Lynn's had a more than adequate selection of bride's dresses, but it was not too much. I went shopping with a friend who ended up purchasing her gown here. The staff was quite friendly and made everybody in our group feel extremely comfortable. The prices were also reasonable. more
