Shopping for a prom dress


The other day I received a phone call from a friend of mine in Chicago. She was totally stressed out over her daughter's prom dress or rather lack of one. My friend and her daughter were exhausted and frustrated from shopping and trying on hundreds of dresses and not finding what they wanted. Now I use the term "they" because the mother definitely has to approve of the daughter's chosen dress. Shopping for the perfect prom dress is a right of passage for teenage girls everywhere. Grab mom, make sure she has money, or at least enough to cover the difference if the dress is more than the girl can afford, hop in the car with pictures of the perfect prom dress and take off. Usually, everyone starts off in a great mood with high expectations. Of course, after about the 3rd boutique, everyone's nerves are wearing thin. Mother and daughter begin to argue, frustrations begin to brew and the whole afternoon goes up in smoke without a dress to wear. Does this sound familiar? Well, my smart friend dialed us up, and began shopping long distance. She shared her story with me and told me exactly what her daughter wanted. I told her which designers I carry, we looked on-line together, and I told her the styles I had available here at Formally Yours. After a great conversation, we agreed that I would ship her a few dresses for her daughter to try on in the comforts of her own home. I shipped the dresses to Chicago and bingo, it was a perfect match. She loved one! Everyone was thrilled to pieces and my friend was relieved to know that her job was complete and her daughter was happy. I'm just glad that people trust Formally Yours, and realize that we are here to make everyone's fashion wishes come true. Also, we are here to ease the pain for the moms who are tired of driving and wasting gas!
Just come in or call us, and trust that our fashion knowledge will guide you to your dream dress.

Prom Girls


Hey girls, speaking of finding your inner princess and our history and all, let us tell you about PROM! These highschool girls shop all over until they find the perfect dress. Thankfully, we have smart, hip, young fashion consultants to help each and every girl. We have the cutest customers with the most adorable figures who are in the know when it comes to fashion styles and trends, so they shop at Formally Yours where they know they will find the perfect prom gown for their special evening. We only have one of every style in order to insure that the best friend will not show up in the same dress. Not only do the teenagers love shopping here, but their mothers do too. They love the no hassle, relaxed atmosphere that we provide, not to mention the one stop shopping trip. The moms sit and enjoy the fashion show that their daughters provide while we continuously bring them dresses to their heart's content. After the prom dress is chosen, we finish off their look with jewelry and shoes. Everyone enjoys their experience and more often than not, our prom girls return as brides to be! It is so cool to see them as young women and reconnect on a different level. Having a 26 year old bridal shop is rewarding and yet at the same time comforting for our customers. It's old fashioned, but at the same time always new and exciting because of the ever changing fashion trends. We welcome the old and the new with tradition and history and fashion for our customers. Come in and visit our place, and if you have ever purchased a gown here in the past 26 years, bring in your pictures, because we are starting to create a Formally Yours history book.
We look forward to seeing you soon for your formal occasion, because after all, we are Formally Yours!

Welcome to Dress Diaries!


Here is my favorite sister in a Formally Yours dress! She had the best dress at the party, thanks to me!


Today is the first day of the Dress Diaries! Tomorrow is one of the busiest days of the year - Prom season has begun, and newly betrothed brides are in full shopping mode! Saturday was a busy day too with standing room only! We had a store full of customers buying prom dresses, wedding dresses, bridesmaids' dresses, and mothers' dresses!

We just celebrated the one-year anniversary of our new location, although we have been in business since 1982! (That's over 25 years, for those of you who are not good at math.)
