I could have hand sewn a better fit. store owner refused to aknowledge negligence. tried to tell me my dress was bleached prior or made wrong in the first place. no! that's offensive to the local artisan I bought it from. i would never recommend this for anything. I want to caution others of their inability to do proper, simple alterations and even somehow bleached the bottom of my never worn dress. I paid then forthe alterations ... but they ruined an expensive, never before worn, hand made linen dress.

I'm from Seattle, but recently got married in Victoria. After doing some local research I found Capital City Tuxedo came highly recommended. Sid and his team are extremely nice and attentive. It's a family owned business and they really care about their craft. They have an on-site tailor, so the alterations were fast and accurate. My groomsmen all told me it was the nicest fit they had had with a rental, and we received lots of compliments on the overall look. Thank you Sid and staff for all your help!

I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon Elizabeth via our Facebook community page. I had visited a…read moreRedmond bridal salon that quoted me an outrageous price and was also fairly demeaning in the process. When I went to Elizabeth for a quote, I was instantly at ease with her incredible focus on the customer and her friendly, realness. My dress required a good deal of alteration due to weight loss and she and her team approached it with an amazing attitude and ease. I felt like a princess when I walked out of the shop with my final alterations completed. She also altered both of my daughters' bridesmaid dresses and they looked amazing in them! Thank you, Elizabeth, for helping me have my dream wedding. I am so grateful to you!

Despite Ms. Elizabeth's apologies as to the depleted number of gowns, I found several beautiful dresses in my size and colors I wanted. Although I was not the only customer there, I left feeling like I got the most personal service. The buy, rent, and on sale gowns where all of equal quality and well priced. She suggested alterations to one that I had some concerns about that would make it the gown of my dreams. Thank you for making a routine shopping trip into a wonderful experience!

We really had no intentions of finding a dress since the was the first and only time I had ever looked at wedding dresses. From the moment I stepped in the doors I felt so welcome and so well taken care of. The ladies that work here are truly the best, I can honestly say I've never had a better experience in a store of any kind. They went above and beyond to make my mom and I feel comfortable, and I walked out of there feeling so incredibly beautiful, on cloud 9, and with the dress of my dreams. It was magic and I cannot give this place enough praise. Trusting them with this huge decision was the best on a whim decision ever!

She had such a keen eye, and the first dress she chose for me ended up being the wedding dress of my dreams. They are all so professional, warm, and caring. The team made the overall experience a truly magical one, and I would recommend anyone interested in looking for a wedding gown to give the White Peony a look!

The guys went for a fitting in April as advised by the store and we were told the Tux sets would be ready the week before the wedding. They gave us the Tux sets THE DAY BEFORE my wedding! They had multiple excuses even tho we went with their advised timeline to ensure we would get everything ahead of time. To make matters worse, my 15 year old son was fitted for a tux , again that was only able to be picked up the day before . They took his exact measurements weeks ahead , they gave him a tux jacket to fit a 6 year old!! The tux was so ILL fitting and the jacket couldn't even be warn, my son did not look good or feel good at all. It was comical fit almost. Lastly I contacted the store about it , to address with them I was polite and I never heard a word back. TERRIBLE SERVICE and wrong measurements. This place was such a bad mistake for us to choose.
