Formally Yours was the 3rd or 4th place I went when searching for my Wedding dress. I was surprised by their huge selection and variety of dresses. Cathy was the first one to greet us at the door, and after a brief conversation on my preferences, she said "I have the perfect dress for you." Well, after looking around, and trying on all the dresses that I had picked out - I had one dress left, the one Cathy had picked out. And sure enough, I put on this dress and knew this was THE Dress! I was amazed that she was able to take one look at me, ask a few questions, and pick out the perfect wedding dress!

With that being said, I would recommend that you take a look around Formally Yours! However, from my experience, I would suggest that you ONLY deal with Cathy! You'll be wasting your time with the other girls. They will tell you what they THINK you want to hear, the customer service is poor, and they have NO idea how to run a business.

Lastly, I would STRONGLY recommend that you STAY AWAY from the alterations at Formally Yours. I would have rated this place at least 4 stars based on my interactions with Cathy, however, my alterations experience, does not even earn 1 star! If you need anything more than a hem, their alterations lady will completely ruin your dress! DO NOT LET HER TOUCH YOUR DRESS!! I purchased my dress in plenty of time for alterations, and after going back 4 times for fittings, I was completely disappointed and in tears because it look absolutely terrible! It was no longer the dress that I had fallen in love with!! I had to take the dress after the last fitting because I had scheduled bridal portraits scheduled. My bridal portraits were a complete waste, because you could tell that the dress was too big, didn't fit right, my boobs looked lumpy (from where she did come tacky alterations to make the cups smaller). Terrible! It was a nightmare!

So, 2 weeks before my wedding, thanks to Cathy (Charlotte and none of the other ladies helped the situation) - she offered to let me take the floor sample of my dress (1 size smaller) to my NEW alterations lady (Dora Baker). Dora was absolutely appalled by the alterations from the lady at Formally Yours, which were done to my original dress. So, Dora started on alterations on the NEW dress, which she was able to fix perfectly! However, it was nerve racking because it wasn't ready until the morning before my wedding! And, as if you don't spend enough MONEY already when you're paying for a Wedding - I had to pay for alterations TWICE, because I will have you know there was no offer made for a refund on the first round of horrible alterations!
