Highly recommend DesignFormal for their exceptional service and quality. 🌟

This was my wedding dress, and I want to thank the team for making my dream come true! Everyone absolutely loved it! Once I receive the other photos, I'll be sure to share them. A special thank you to Tina—her attention and support throughout the process were incredible!
I purchased their design consulting service on March 24th, and by March 25th, Tina was already in touch to confirm the details. The communication was seamless, and the turnaround time was impressively fast—less than one month!
The dress is perfect, everything looks amazing, and I couldn’t be more excited. Thank you so much for making my big day even more special. I have several weddings to attend next year and would love to work with you again for another stunning dress!
Highly recommend DesignFormal for their exceptional service and quality. 🌟

Highly recommend DesignFormal!

I was six months pregnant when I got married on September 1, 2024, and needed a dress that would accommodate my growing bump. I requested a custom design with an empire waist and a corseted back to ensure it would fit perfectly no matter how much I grew. The team at DesignFormal exceeded all my expectations! They were incredibly thorough, keeping me updated throughout the process and even sending photos of the dress as it progressed. The final product was stunning—so beautifully made, and exactly what I envisioned. The entire process was seamless, and they made it so easy to create the dress of my dreams. I’m incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication. This dress holds so much meaning to me, and I’ll treasure it for years to come 💜. Highly recommend DesignFormal for anyone looking for a custom, high-quality gown!

couldn’t be happier with the experience

I customized my wedding dress from DesignFormal, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Their designer, Tina, was incredibly patient and helpful, assisting me in confirming every design detail. I submitted my design inquiry on July 20th for free, paid for the dress on August 2nd, and received it on September 30th—such a fast turnaround!
During production, they created a mockup from scraps to preview the design, which was amazing. Before shipping, they sent detailed pictures of the finished dress for approval. The dress is absolutely stunning and fits me perfectly. ( Friendly Tip: Make sure to take your measurements carefully by following their measurement guide. This will ensure your dress fits perfectly! 😊)
On my big day, I received countless compliments—everyone loved my dress! Thank you, Tina, and the entire DesignFormal team, for making my dream dress a reality. I’m beyond grateful! Highly recommend their service to anyone looking for a custom dress. 💕

Very Happy With Outcome

I will admit when I first found this website I was extremely skeptical! We were desperate to find someone to make this beautiful dress in a very short time frame. I decided to take a chance and I'm extremely glad I did. The communication was excellent. They were very thorough and sent many pictures of their progress. We needed the dress within a matter of four weeks and they got it to us in three. The biggest challenge I found was the time difference. Communication happened many times between 10 PM and 2 AM central time. I would recommend planning ahead better than I did to give you more time. We did have to make a few structural adjustments to the dress but overall very happy with outcome. They only had a picture and measurements to start this process. I did not mind having to make a few adjustments once we received it. We will definitely use designformal.com again!
