My old tux was just not fitting right anymore and I have an event coming up I need a tux for, so I…read morewent in to see John. He checked out my tux and how it fit me and suggested keeping the jacket and getting new pants and a shirt, which I did (and was cheaper than a whole new tux). John had me try on multiple sizes of pants and shirt to get the best fit, and told me about the different options. The new pants and shirt fit way better than the old ones and the price was reasonable. My tux looks so much better now!John is a friendly guy and the service was excellent. I would definitely go back here if I have further tux needs!

I just got married this past weekend in Waltham. During the wedding planning process, I researched…read morevarious online suit rental places such as Menguin and the Black Tux at Nordstrom. I was unimpressed by the service I received by them and the way they calculated measurements (Those services don't actually take measurements and you have input the information yourself). I also had bad experiences with Men's Warehouse in the past with other weddings that I have attended as a groomsmen. I realized that there was a local option in Waltham for me to check out. The staff at Formalwear Ltd were very friendly and knowledgeable. I visited the store multiple times as I collaborated with them and my fiance to select the perfect tux combination for my wedding. I picked up my tux a couple of days before the wedding and the size for some of the parts of it were off, but it was no problem at all as they overnighted the correct sizes. Everything fit perfectly for my wedding. If you need to rent a suit or tux for a local event, I highly recommend them!

I would have pounced in a hot minute if it weren't for the price tag. However, she spent two hours with me talking about my ideas, looking at pictures, showing me sketches and fabrics and photos, oh my! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I love the dress that I bought at a regular store, but I will always have that image somewhere in my mind of that "imaginary" dress that Emilia would have made for me.

Of course there are thousands of dresses to be had, but they all looked the same: embellishments and cheap fabrics to make up for the lack of true style. Famous designers were extremely expensive. Emilia took one look at me and designed a gorgeous dress in the right palette as my daughter had chosen. The wedding was overseas, in Argentina, and people dressed very elegantly. Everybody admired my dress and I felt comfortable and self confident all night long. (Yes, the wedding lasted until breakfast!) You can't go wrong ever trusting Emilia to do your special occasion dress.

I joined my daughter, the bride, and her best friend on the dress shopping excursion. L'elite has a fabulously curated assortment of dresses, combined with professional and knowledgeable sales representatives. We worked with Shamim and she was excellent! Shamim was able to quickly determine which dresses would look best on the bride. We did not expect to buy the very first dress that she tried on, but that's exactly what happened. The process was that good at L'elite! In addition, Shamim made the experience fun and informative. Not only did we find the most beautiful dress but the experience was also the most efficient use of our time. It was an amazing experience! I would highly recommend L'elite!

After visiting 4 bridal boutiques this past weekend, the experience at L'elite was by far the most elevated and I never once felt rushed or pressured to make a decision which is exactly what I needed. Sara made me feel so special and made sure my mom, grandma and best friends who came along with me were comfortable and happy as well. I ended up going to all 4 of my appointments and coming back to L'elite to say yes to my dream wedding dress - Sara even came in early just for me because they were booked all day!! 10/10 recommend if you're wedding dress shopping in Boston!

We went in to get fitted- we probably picked the wrong day the staff was super busy because it was wedding season! (Late June I was there of 2022). We waited as the people ahead of us were taken care of then proceeded to be fitted. I will say right off the bat I have a weird body shape- no jacket seemed to fit right- again weird body shape McGee over here. One of the other tailors freed up and took us right on back to the fitting rooms. He had me sized up in no time and in a comfy suit then went to work on fitting my stepson. After a few minutes we were looking spiffy and comfortable. I watched as rack after rack of groomsmen tuxes were bagged up and labeled ready for pickup, the tailor joked with us both about how crazy busy it was as he fitted us and generally kept us at ease. Suits rented- money paid and off we went. Here's the nice part- the shop was nice enough to let us rent the suits about a week early and when went to return them the shop was closed as the team was off for the 4th of July (well deserved after the craziness I witnessed with the weddings lol). So I called their number and left a message asking what do as I was going on vacation. Maria called me back and told me to not to worry about it and bring the suits in when I got back- there would be no late charge. Good to her word we were not charged and it was an overall great interaction with the shop. They take cash, venmo, and credit- but there is an extra fee for the credit card processing- a sign on the counter states this as well. One downside is there is not seating area in the main shop to wait- but the shop is so full of suits, and tuxes it makes sense why it's not there. Other than that- thank you Russo's for your kindness and understanding throughout the process of rental and return!
