Bridal consignment will still be considered between now & May!
Submit your info on the CONSIGNMENT page, through the box on the left side or email with as much info as possible that we request!
Many future brides are looking to save money, as much as you want to recoup some!
Bridal gown consignment is a great way to sell your new or gently used dress without any hassles! Marketplace and Facebook have many scammers and online sites are hard sells without being able to try on! Our consignment has changed greatly since opening in 2018. We have learned what brides want and don't want in a dress and now will only accept gowns that we know are sellable in store. Gowns must be recent purchases to keep with current styles and demands; and to be competitive with other stores.
We ask for clean gown - so if it has not been cleaned previously we can inspect it and discuss further options with you before cleaning!
If it has been altered, but never worn, we do NOT consider it new - as it no longer is. We will mark these as "Altered, never worn" but must be priced as non-new gowns.
We will not consign "custom" or standard size wedding gowns ordered from online mass-produced retailers (eg: Amazon, JJ’s House, Ada's Bridal, TB Dress, Light In The Box, Wedding Dress, and others similar).
We may not consign many below size 4 or below if altered. We will have to see in person. Height alterations of 5'4" and below must be priced lower since lower sale possibilities.
David's Bridal gowns will be considered on a case-by-case basis, with some styles not being accepted; These gowns are greatly discounted after each season, must be priced very well, and are hard sells next to higher designer gowns.
We do not accept vintage gowns.
Tips for Consigning
To get the most out of consigning, here are a few tips:
We recommend all items have been purchased within the last 3-4 years. This is to keep with current trends and styles, and what shoppers are seeking. If you have a 5-7 year gown, you are welcome to send us a request with photos and info.
The gown will be inspected for cleanliness, flaws, and suitability for the store’s needs. Items must be ready for sale and use, with no worries for the future bride about if any spots or stains will come out. Please look over even if it was dry cleaned! If it is in a box, we recommend you open the box at home and get all the securing ties and clips undone ahead of time.
We highly recommend putting your contract expiration date in your phone or calendar to receive a reminder at the end of term! We do not contact at the end of the contract as there can be up to 600 active consignors at any given time. After the grace period, remaining items are forfeited and become property of Formally Yours. Every consignor will leave the store with a copy of the signed contract.
We will not accept cheap online brands:
Below is a link that I recommend you to look at. This site keeps up with well known "scam" or low quality dress sites that people are known not to receive their products, do not get quality expected, or do not honor the return policy on their site.
If you are shopping for a dress, take a peek to see if it's from one of these sites.

We do not accept unmarked gowns or without tags. We need to see designer name, size, and other info.
If you have receipts or your online order, we would have to see it.
Consignment appointments take about 20-25 minutes.
We inspect your dress, discuss pricing, and fill out a contract. Any information you have makes this appointment quicker.
We will give you honest advice on how much we think your dress is likely to sell for.
The designer, year, size, condition, retail price, and style are all factored into the agreed upon price.
New or not new will also greatly affect price; alterations are also considered.
Please bring information such as receipt, brand/designer and style information, etc.
for us to determine if we can accept it and how to price accordingly.
You receive payment upon sale of your item(s).
