Annapolis Formal and Tuxedos

for and totally delivered. I could not have asked for a better experience. She put me totally at ease when it came to the final touches on my dream dress.

en I wanted to go in when their hours were posted as being open. I got in the habit of always calling before going, because you never knew if they were actually open or not, one time I called and they were closing at 12:30 on a Saturday. I know the shop is by appointment only, but you would think there would be at least one day on the weekend when they have stable hours for the occasional walk-in or customer that needs support or to pick something up. Due to their disorganization, I was overcharged for the bridesmaid dresses. They took care of the issue when I prompted them, but for the cost of these dresses, this should not have been an issue to begin with. I planned a day for my four bridesmaids to try on dresses and they called an hour before my fitting asking to reschedule. They kept the appointment as-is, but only because I insisted they not change it as it was the only way I could get all of my bridesmaids and mothers of the bride/groom together at the same time since we all work very different schedules (e.g. night shift) and were coming from out of town. I recognize the shop is a local shop owned by someone that would like to retire and their daughter who recently had a baby, but there has to be a better answer for this extreme lack of organization, poor hours and customer service. The dresses arrived on time. The dresses looked nice. As a result of being over charged and the frustration of the shop not being open often or consistently, we decided to take the alterations elsewhere.

d did not have any local bridesmaids to go with me to my fittings to given an opinion. I would ask for them to tighten the dress more and they kept saying no it looks good the way it is. I kept trying to tell myself after each one I was just being too critical. The day of my wedding I ended up being so unhappy with the outcome of my alterations and now super bummed out with my wedding photos. My straps fell down the entire night (including walking down the aisle) and I kept stepping on my dress in the front due to it not being hemmed enough. I will be taking my dress in somewhere else to get realtered and hope to get new wedding photos taken one day showing what good quality work really is and to have photos I enjoy looking at. They were extremely expensive too and hard to get in touch with, never returning voicemails. Take your dress to someone else.

She is such a talented seamstress and made my dress literally perfect for me. In addition to the dress fitting flawlessly, she was a lot of FUN to work with!

d fallen off my gown two days before my wedding, I popped in and Doris was able to fix everything within a matter of minutes. She was also able to sew a patch onto a tie I got for my dad free of charge!

I expected, but it was quality work.

ot of tulle, but the alterations came out flawless and the length was perfect. It took several appointments, so I recommend starting the process as soon as you buy your dress/months in advance. Altogether I spent approx. $400 on alterations which I think is pretty standard, but I had peace of mind that the alterations would be in good hands.

needed to be done before the pick up day. When I went to pick it up the hem was great, the bustle was simple and easy to use. So easy that I could do it my self. The only complaint I have is that I had a lace strapless dress and it did not stay in place. I had to keep pulling it up and I was afraid my breasts would fall out if I raised my arms. The lacing where it was taken in was also falling off a bit too. They were great to work with but I really wish I could've been more confident with my dress the day of my wedding.

is amazing. She was patient and careful and the dress came out perfectly. They also have a beautiful selection of accessories- I found my veil and a stunning flower/feather hairpiece (both VERY reasonably priced). Dora and Flavia are so kind and they made the entire experience easy and stress-free. 

ses and it turned out amazing. I would highly recommend going to this store! They are amazing!

earsal for a Saturday wedding. No Thanks! Talk about stressful! My husband is not a small guy so it was really important for it to fit right and look good. I love that when they measure the guys they have a generic sample jacket so they can make sure the fit and measurements match up before they order. His tux came in Tuesday before the wedding and everything was perfect! Also, our best man waited until the last minute (like 2 weeks before the wedding!) to order his tux but they were champs and got it in on time and everything was perfect. The only negative was that it was pretty pricey - a similar tux at the chain places was about $70 less per person.

s and all the men.

rocess and got a feel for what we were really leaning towards and said " i know what you need" and pulled my dress that i fell in love with !! They were on top of staying in contact with me when the dresses came in, ( i also got my bridesmaids dresses here) when it came to my alterations they took my dress in and did it in one day !!!! (they did this for me because we mention my mom was going to be doing some work on the dress, and this was 2 weeks before the wedding, so they wanted her to have the time.) They were lovely ladies, and this is a cute little place ! The prices are a little higher than a Davids bridal, but i really had no complaints about this place!

d really care. I loved my dress!

alterations were perfect (thanks Mama Dora!), but more than that I felt like Flavia and her mom were honestly invested in me being the most beautiful bride ever. I would recommend Annapolis Formal and Tuxedos again with no hesitation.

e very helpful during the entire dress shopping experience. The dresses are expensive, and they are so nice that you don't feel right trying to haggle with them, so it is not the place to go to try and get a bargain. Regardless, their service was excellent and they were great to work with, I couldn't have been happier with my dress.

break the bank of my dress, but I also wasn't feeling David's Bridal. Ok now the bad... do not, under any circumstances, get anything altered here. Especially do not get your wedding dress done here. Go somewhere (anywhere) else. I went there because I figured "hey, they sold me the dress, they know what they are doing." I was so wrong and still an annoyed when I look at some pictures. First they took the top in way to much and wouldn't take the waist in enough. Then the seamstress tried to tell me that the top was right (apparently she thought I had 4 boobs and like back fat). Luckily I had two friends with me for moral support. I almost had to start to pack up my purse (while in the dress) and threaten to leave (in the dress) before she would even consider redoing it and in the end, the waist still didn't end up coming in enough. Then they charged me an extra $40 on top of the "flat rate." There are a lot of good seamstresses in the greater-DC area. In the end, it probably would have cost the same and saved me a lot of headaches.

he was no longer there and I was dealing with the owner (and her daughter on the phone). The owner does the alterations. Things were overall okay but I had to make many appointments to keep having the dress taken in and then after I was told the alterations would be done (2 days before the wedding...got fitted one last time 3 days before the wedding) I show up with my mom to get it and she acted like she'd never seen me before and didn't have it done! She did it right then and tried it on and it was fine. However, she used thread to create the loop to hook on the metal hook for the top of the dress and when my girls when to do it on the BIG day, it broke!!! I don't know what it looked like exactly but I'm sure I'll see it in the pictures. I don't think it was too noticable but I can't believe it didn't hold! So summing it up, in the beginning I would've given this place 5 stars but now that it's just the owner and her daughter I can only give it a 3 because of the issues with alterations and the owner being so forgetful.

and not at all pushy. I felt very comfortable and they were so accommodating. They helped me pick out a beautiful dress that I will most likely be returning to purchase. Definitely visit them in your hunt for the perfect gown!

y happy here. I found the most beautiful dress and they were able to custom order it to my measurements. It came in quickly and Dora did a great job with the alterations. I accidentally lost 8 lbs the week before the wedding and she was able to work miracles to get my dress to fit like a glove. I got so so many compliments from everyone at my wedding and most importantly my new husband was speechless. My mother also got her dress there. It was beautiful as well.

wonderful to work with. I regret not getting my bridesmaids' dresses from Annapolis Formal as well!

ade me feel so comfortable and like i wasnt alone at all! The prices were great and everything was perfectly altered and i had a lot down to my dress! I cant recommend them enough!! So glad i found them!
