OnlineFormals Dress Boutique — Local services in Virginia Beach

We purchased my daughters prom dress from Online Formals, it was our last stop after trying several stores. Save some time and start here! We had an amazing experience at this boutique. The staff and owner are incredibly kind and thoughtful when helping young ladies pick out dresses. My daughter has a very unique shape, she is very large on top and tiny everywhere else. As you can imagine, finding a dress is and has always been incredibly challenging and very disappointing for her as she usually has to settle on dresses too big, two piece numbers or ones that are just not age appropriate. We were so thrilled that OnlineFormals actually had dresses that fit her in the store for her to try on, and they were dresses in styles that she actually wanted to wear! This boutique has such an incredible selection of dresses in the store, that they actually had several dresses that fit her in different styles, so she got to pick between two different dress options! This was incredible for her. The staff and owner are very knowledgeable, take time to make the young ladies feel special and will help you navigate through the dress finding and fitting madness with realative ease! They also have great contacts for alterations. We can not reccomend this store enough, you must head here first! do not waste your time anywhere else! I guarantee you will not be disappointed, and you will be able to find a dress that fits in a style you want and will walk out with the dress of...

This store was a breath of fresh air. So I was pretty desperate when I came to this store, because in the same day I had gone to two other stores, looking for one specific dress, knowing that I would most likely need to order it. At the other two stores I was treated very poorly and I probably had the worst shopping experiences at the other stores. So, I called ahead and I was helped over the phone by Mr. Steve who was very helpful. He found my dress online immediately and explained everything that would go into buying that dress online, over the phone (which was something that I could not get an answer about at the other stores). He explained their return policy, which by the way is FANTASTIC, and he encouraged me to come in and get sized to make sure that he was ordering the right dress for me. I went in and he was exceedingly helpful. He even put me in another dress by the same designer just to be completely sure that I was going to get the right size (sizing was another issue at the other stores). He then sat down with us and went over pricing and the return policy AGAIN just to be thorough, and he even went as far as to call the designer to make certain that they had my dress in stock. As we were sitting there it became very apparent that he was very knowledgable about the brands that he carries and the pricing of each brand. We ordered the dress and he gave us an estimate of when the dress would arrive and I cannot wait to go back! 10/10...

Everything was great! The store was very clean and well-organized and there was a very wide variety of dresses for the formal event that I am going to. Steve was extremely accommodating in helping me find a dress for a military ball that was also flattering on me and he even stayed late to help me find the right dress. All of the dresses were in great condition as well. Steve also gave me advice on how to alter the dress to get it to fit properly in areas that it was either too big or too long. I shopped at a few department stores and a lot of their dresses looked battered, were too young-looking (like for high school dances), or too mature for me (like mother-of-the-bride dresses). I am 24 and wanted something youthful, but not teenager-ish, but also mature. Steve suggested a beautiful light blue dress with a medium amount of sequins and it was so flattering, and was the dress I ended up getting. This store had by far the best options out there. They also give a recommendation on where to get alterations. I am glad I shopped at Onlineformals...
