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 six-month 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:
Changes in September
September is here, and I need to make some immediate changes for the fall. WE ARE NOW BY APPOINTMENT ONLY FOR ALL - NO MATTER SHOPPING OR CONSIGNING. We will be also closed 1-2 Saturdays each month through October, so please plan ahead. Prom hours will start after the new year.
CONSIGNMENT in September: We will ONLY be accepting Size 12 and Up for all categories, Homecoming dresses all sizes, and Bridal gowns in all sizes. All walk ins will be turned away, no exceptions.
As a consignment store, people expect open hours and no appointments, BUT AS A BRIDAL-TYPE STORE, this is nearly impossible! Most bridal stores are by appointment ONLY and usually staff according to busy times and scheduled appointments. We need to help shoppers and consignors, both!
NOTICE ON EXPIRED CONSIGNMENT: All consignors receive a copy of the contract with expiration date. Unfortunately, we are now seeing too many come in past the grace period to retrieve items. These items are considered abandoned and forfeited to the store. These past-grace period items will now be charged a 20% late pick up fee to reclaim said items, if even still available. These terms have been in effect for 6.5 years, but now have to be enforced as this is becoming frequent and taking too much store time.
All consignment intake is now during specific hours to ensure staff availability, avoid large waiting times, & avoid times during busy shopping periods.
I cannot staff heavily just in case of busy periods.

SATURDAYS
Saturdays have always been by appointment for all. If we are full, we will tell you the next time opening available. At some times, we cannot even have walk-ins look/browse, as it usually leads to trying or conflicts with the current business of shoppers or bridal appointments.
BRIDAL SHOPPING
Bridal gown shopping is always by appointment. Unfortunately we have seen a current trend & have been asked to try on dresses with no engagement or wedding planned; We do not like to accommodate these practices as it is repeated wear & tear or soiling on consignors dresses with no intent to purchase. We do not want to loose bridal gown consignors due to condition of non-sold items.

REGULAR SHOPPING
Event shopping such as prom, gala, military ball, mother-of, wedding guest, etc. is WALK-IN during the weekdays.
CONSIGNMENT
Saturday by Appointment (since 2020)
Saturday appointments are 60 min. though you may come in UP TO 15 minutes early to browse. We can't accommodate any earlier.
We can only accept walk-in customers if there is a fitting room & a team member available to help the guest. Keep in mind that many stores schedule staff based on pre-scheduled appointments & busy seasons.
You can call ahead for the next time slot open. We allow a
10 minute delay for lateness, after that the (No-Show policy) time slot can & will be given to the next person available unless you call to notify.
I strive to help each guest with the utmost attention & help each find
the perfect items for their event. Call 701.639.2146 to schedule;
emails are not always monitored.
