What's on the racks
“While we did not find a dress here either, it was not because of lack of inventory optiond or prices- they just simply didn't have a very specific dress.”
“The bride and I were given the royal treatment, fantastic suggestions were made, the lady at the counter (the owner I presume?”
“We bought a dress last year for my daughters junior prom and again this year for my daughters senior prom.”
“I had low expectations due to past experiences with consignment stores, but this was wonderful.”
“Friendly staff, fun collection of items as it's paired with a book store as well, and SO many gorgeous dresses and accessories.”
What shoppers say again and again
“We did not know they were a used boutique but it wasn't relevant either way, as all gowns were clean and appeared like new.”
“(She has a few already picked out)”
“Friendly staff, fun collection of items as it's paired with a book store as well, and SO many gorgeous dresses and accessories.”
“Found my dress for an unconventional wedding-adjacent event and could have danced around in it for hours and they wouldn’t have kicked us out.”
“Knowing that The Formal Niche offers alteration services, I had her take the dress in to be taken in just a little.”
From the reviews
My daughter-in-law and I came here with a pretty tight budget. We were looking for something that didn’t need much altering but still felt luxurious. We were given a private area and adorable signs to give our opinion. We tried tons of dresses and were never rushed.
I cannot recommend The Formal Niche enough! My daughter recently graduated, and while she had already purchased her dress, it just didn't fit quite right. Knowing that The Formal Niche offers alteration services, I had her take the dress in to be taken in just a little.
Let me start out by saying the staff is incredible! This was the 5th shop we tried for my daughter's event. While we did not find a dress here either, it was not because of lack of inventory optiond or prices- they just simply didn't have a very specific dress. They are well organized by color and sizes.
Absolutely love this store. Went to Tres Jolie in Edmond and the prices were outrageously high. I have shopped at Formal Niche in the past. My daughters (and I have 4 of them) can almost always find a dress that they love and they are very reasonably priced.
Plus size bridal & formal at The Formal Niche
The Formal Niche comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6. Alterations are mentioned on site here, which makes the fitting logistics a whole lot easier.
