Nina and her staff at English's are so incredibly kind, knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and non-judgmental. I went to quite a few bridal shops, and although I ended up purchasing a bridal gown somewhere else (it was an annual sample sale where I found a gorgeous dress at an extremely good price), I had the best experience at English's, and liked the most gowns at English's. I found their gowns to be the most affordable while also being stunning.

I can't overstate how kind and helpful Nina, her sister Ally, their mom, and other staff were. I will definitely visit English's first if I am in future need of a formal dress, and encourage all in search of a prom dress, wedding gown, etc. to visit English's! I can tell they are big supporters of the community, and are a very inclusive business (which is very important to me and hopefully important to others, as well!).

I had such a wonderful experience with the ladies at English's! They were so attentive and helpful. Of course I said yes to a dress there. Prices are great, and they take care of any alterations you may need. I definitely suggest you go!

My experience here was so special. I felt like a true bride the entire time we were trying on dresses. Nina and her sister made sure I felt comfortable in everything I tried on, were patient with me as we picked out different styles and narrowed it down to two dresses, and gave great advice and suggestions when needed. I can't speak highly enough of English's, and now that I have said YES to my dress here, I can personally say they are the best. Definitely check out English's when you're shopping for your dress, they will not disappoint! - a very happy bride

We tried on dresses at this shop and was extremely pleased with the ladies now running and managing the shop. Their customer service was excellent, they were very knowledgeable about their dresses and stock. I was very pleased! I felt very comfortable trying on wedding dresses in front of both of the sisters(who run/ own the place) and wished more bridal shops had the same kind of customer service!

I highly recommend English's! I worked close with both Mark and Nina through the process of ordering my dress and having it altered and they were outstanding! (Mark is the original owner but Nina is now taking the place over). I originally found my dress at NY Bride & Groom in Raleigh but I live in Winston so I wanted to find a place that was closer. I stumbled across English's and they were able to order my dress for $300 less than NY Bride & Groom quoted me.

I had to order it with 4 inches of extra length since I am so tall and it took about 6 months to come in. To place the order I was only required to pay a $200 deposit. When my dress arrived, I paid the remaining balance. When I tried it on, I decided the hips needed to be taken in and I wanted a bustle added. I came in on a Saturday and the alterations were complete and my dress was ready to be picked up on Wednesday! The total for alterations was only $55 and they steamed my dress for me. I had such a wonderful experience, I am sure you will too if you give English's a chance!

Do not go here. Lots of judgment, harsh criticisms and not friendly. Horrible atmosphere and treated without any respect.
