    THANK GOD I WENT TO THEM!!! She was able to alter my *very expensive designer gown, purchased at a trunk show* when no one else could.

    Yelp needs to update their reviews for this place -- anything less than 5 stars doesn't reflect their service or quality of work. I am genuinely shocked to see anything less than 5 stars! I would give a million if I could. I splurged and bought a very expensive, designer wedding gown from a trunk show in Orange County. It had this gorgeous, unique/custom lace pattern and as soon as I put it on, I knew it was **the dress** even though it was over my initial budget 0:) spoiler: worth it! Haha the problem was I needed to get it altered and couldn't afford to spend thousands of dollars by going through the dress boutique + having it done in time for my wedding! (Scammers.) Anyways, I was BAWLING MY EYES OUT when I took my dress to other tailors and they told me they wouldn't be able to help since it would mess up the lace pattern (there were a ton of individual pieces, which required each one to be removed so the dress could be altered, and then resewn on). My dad, desperate to comfort me, took me to this shop since he's always had a great experience and loved the owner. Sure enough, she saved me!!!!! Dress fit PERFECTLY and it only cost like $200. This review is long overdue (got married in the Fall of 2019... I KNOWWWWWWWWWW) but I hope all you brides out there come here for wedding dress alterations! She did a killer job and even added a bustle for my long-ass (beautiful) train hehe TRUST ME, THEY WORK MIRACLES AT THIS SHOP!!! Forever grateful for their work :) still obsessed with my wedding dress and so glad I spent the money I did **becauseeee** Elegant Formal made it fit just right.. making it totally worth it!

    We had the best customer service ever. My son was very nervous looking for a tux for prom night and the people at Elegant Formal were great.

    See all

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about this dress shop. With only a week and a half before my…read moredaughter's quinceañera, I was still searching for a dress for myself and starting to feel even more stressed than I already was. From the moment I first called Michelle answered and offered me an appointment the following day. Michelle ended up helping me pick the perfect dress which ended up being a combination of two dresses I tried on and really liked but either didn't fit the way I wanted or wasn't the right shade. My dress was elegant, flattering, and made me feel confident and beautiful for such a meaningful moment with my daughter. My daughter was also happy for me to have finally found one. I'm truly grateful for Michelle's help and professionalism. So if you're looking for a stunning dress and a team that truly cares about their customers, I highly recommend this shop. They went above and beyond and helped make a very special day even more memorable.

She actually found this spot and we were able to walk in without a reservation. There are rows and rows of dresses. Carolina was so helpful - picking up on the styles my daughter liked and offering options for her to try on. Half a dozen or so dresses later and the infinite patience of Carolina while Michelle helped a family looking the perfect Quince dress, we found a dress! Not only did we find a dress that looked amazing and was reasonably priced - Carolina found matching shoes. Really recommend for the variety, value and excellent service.

The follow through was the disappointment. Although everyone was measured a lot of the sizes were wrong when it came to trying on the suits. The shoes were the wrong color and had to be changed. A couple people asked for "skinny" pants because the casual fit is way too baggy which they said they would do but on the day of pick we were told they didnt have any available. The father of the quincenera who arranged this whole event asked for skinny pants from the very first day that we chose outfits which was well in advance and he still didnt get what he requested and ended up canceling his rental. I couldnt get skinny pants either but wasnt told until day of pick (as were others including my son). Somehow my white button up that i tried on didnt make its way into the garment bag and i ended up having to buy one from Old Navy. You would think they would have seen it hanging there and would have called me back. To top it off they ended up giving me size 13 shoes instead of 12! I went to the party in clown shoes. I think they just didnt have my size available and didnt say anything and just chose the next size up. Overall bad experience when it came down to actually getting out rentals. They over promise and you dont get what you hoped or asked for. Oh...and not only were the vests a different color than what was picked out for the "uncles" matching suits but they got ties instead of bow ties. And all I got from having to wear clown shoes and buy a button up was a simple sorry. Sorry doesnt cut it when trying to look your best and paying $200 for a suit rental. I should have pieced together a discount suit for the price that would fit better. Only reason I didnt was because the plan was to have everyone match.

    Initially coming here, I wasn't quite sure what to expect since it was our first visit. My two…read moreteenage sons had prom coming up in about 3 1/2 weeks, and we were assisted by the manager, Aaron. At first, the interaction felt a bit awkward. He asked if we were ready to make a purchase before even completing my second son's measurements or allowing them to try on suits. I explained that we weren't committed to buying just yet--we wanted to make sure both of my sons found something they liked, as I didn't want to go to two different places. Since measurements are necessary before trying anything on, the approach felt a little rushed and slightly pressured before we even had a chance to fully understand the rental process, available options, or pricing within our budget. Once both of my sons found suits they liked, the experience shifted in a more positive direction. However, during the measuring and fitting process, we were interrupted several times because Aaron had to step away to assist at the front desk. While I understand a manager may need to step in when necessary, there seemed to be enough staff available, and it would have been helpful to have another associate assist us to avoid the repeated interruptions. What likely could have been a 45-minute process ended up taking closer to an hour and a half to two hours. We were informed that payment was required upfront, which was fine, as we were already in the system and planned to return later in the week to complete everything. Aaron did provide us with a detailed copy of our order, which we appreciated since we were doing a full head-to-toe rental (everything except undergarments). After that, the process felt smooth and well-organized. We were told we could return the suits to any location, which was especially convenient since we would be in Irving for prom. Pricing is on the higher side--especially during prom season, which I understand is their busiest time--but they did offer a promotional discount that made it more manageable. Most importantly, my sons looked amazing. The suits were pristine, well-pressed, and overall a great choice for such a special occasion. One note: my oldest son's suit could have been sized down slightly, so I'd recommend making sure you're completely happy with the fit before leaving. They do offer overnight exchanges if needed, which is a great option--just be sure to allow enough time and consider picking up early to avoid any last-minute stress. Overall, despite a slightly rocky start and some interruptions, I would recommend them if you're looking for a convenient, one-stop shop for formalwear.

I originally rented a tux for my wedding thru "BLACK TUX" in Del Mar 1 month getting married. I went in for a fitting and although the reps were extremely nice, I was disappointed to know that they didn't carry an actual white tux jacket. I still decided to go with them since I was there. I told them that I did not need a bow tie or shoes however, they still charged me for them. 1 week before my wedding, I get the tux delivered and was extremely disappointed with EVERYTHING. The tux jacket was literally a dark beige (I ordered ivory.) my pants were not the same style as the ones I tried on, and the material was horrible. 1/10 overall do not recommend. In a panic, my fiancée gave me the info for the gentlemen's tux club and I called... Vanessa answered and was an absolute life saver. She calmed my nerves when she said they had all white jackets and could see me that day!!!!! The whole experience from getting there, the fitting, and the customer service was AMAZINGGGGG! We tried a few different styles with Vanessa, she measured me correctly and totally eased my mind! John, the owner also came out and congratulated us on our marriage and was overall great to us.

I walked into his shop with two of my brothers, and there were probably 10 other people inside at the time. John is so quick to make sure you're taken care of, even while taking care of other customers. He made sure we all had a place to sit and something to drink while we waited. I had originally walked in with an idea for a classic black tux for my wedding. However, after asking me about all the details, John shared his expert opinion and put me in a light blue tux, which popped so well in the area we got married. I couldn't be happier with my rental, and I anticipate coming back here for all of my future tux needs.
