Formally Yours
Formally Yours Resale & Consignment opened in downtown Fargo in May, 2018, and, specializes in pre-owned new and like-new bridal gowns, semi-formal to formal wear, & accessories, for events such as weddings, proms, school dances, formal & semi-formal gatherings, galas, balls, parties; even vacations!
These items are off-the-rack & ready to take home the same day! All items are accepted by a consignment* contract with Formally Yours; we do not buy item(s) outright. Please visit each tab throughout the website for more information & frequently asked questions on each topic. We hope to see you soon!
Information & Notes:
February 2025!

Shopping by appointment (includes same-day times if available):
We are booking early for Saturday appointments; we recommend to plan about a week ahead; Once full we will show as closed on Google business hours. Brides: We only accept so many bridal slots each Saturday, so schedule ahead.
Walk-in only accommodated if availability from cancelation or open slot.
If you have never been, we only have 3 fitting rooms, and give everyone 1 hour appointment slots, so walk-in shopping may not work unless you want to wait unknown time to try on.
Super Sundays & Thrifty Thursdays!
We are now scheduling Sundays! Open Noon to 3:30pm; once filled it will show closed on Google hours. Feb. 2 – Mar. 16 only. We will schedule for prom, gala, or mother-of; we will ONLY accept bridal if - bride + 2 guests max, and have 1 hour to try on 6 gowns maximum.
Because of this shift in scheduling, I have decided to make Thursdays thrifty. Thursdays will now be for bridal gown shopping! 1 hour no charge appointments with up to 4 guests (want more or longer? Call and ask). If you purchase a dress the same day as appointment you will receive 15% off your gown! If you purchase your dress in 1 week with no re-try, 10% off your dress! This helps open up more appointments for more shoppers during this busy season. If there are zero appointments before I close on Wednesdays, I will be closed and not taking any appointments the day of.
Saturdays have been by appointment since 2020. Weekdays have been since this past summer to better accommodate needs.
Call to schedule now! 701.639.2146
CONSIGNMENT INTAKE IS COMPLETE!
We do this each year since PROM season is our absolutely busiest time of the year - with prom, bridal, mother-of, wedding party & guests, gala, & ball shopping all at the same time.
WHY do I do this cut off period?
💥 This store gets crazy with the influx of shoppers and appointments are necessary to shop. We want to spend time with the shoppers and assist them in BUYING your dresses!
💥 We advertise all Jr. dresses and prom to start coming in October through the holidays each year!! We want time to enter and prep the items, and get on the racks early. This is our slow season and we have plenty of time to do intake during these 3 months!
💥 We have already filled up! We are out of hangers and busting at the seams right now - which is great for selection, but hard to shop and creates wear and tear on the dresses.
💥 Consignment takes 10-20 min. to go through, look up, discuss options, and complete the paperwork. We cannot be staffed enough to cover this and help shoppers during this time - ESPECIALLY SATURDAYS! (Our shoppers multiplied by 10 now for each and every appointment time slot available.)
💥 We would have to add hours and hours to work late each day to continue to enter consignment, prep, and organize these dresses. We now need this extra time to clean, vacuum, mop, straighten; and fix hooks, loose beads, strings, etc. from all the dresses getting tried on continuously. Oh, and I need to make sure to get all the sold consignment paid!
💥 Too many are not reading the requirements of our intake, and I end up spending valuable time explaining that we do not take soiled dresses or dresses over 4 years old. I am still seeing super dirty and 10-15 years old dress being brought in.
💥 I am the only consignment formalwear shop in the state, and am entering my 7th year! You must plan ahead to utilize my services. I am one person running a very busy small business. My work and personal schedules are also super busy and my time is also very important to me, my staff, and my shoppers.
