After reading other reviews, I was skeptical to make the drive from Raleigh, but I'm so glad I did…read more I would highly recommend this place. I came on a Saturday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by how calm it was (that's a weird way to put it, but other bridal shops I've been to have been SO chaotic). It was clean, cute, organized and spacious inside, which is typically not the case for walk-in bridal shops. My family lives far away, so I came by myself (brides, I would HIGHLY suggest doing this- so much more relaxing). I was greeted immediately and got paired with Edith and her daughter. What a dream team! I loved these two. I instantly felt a connection to Edith and trusted her opinion. We went through the dresses and pulled a handful of ones I liked. After trying on the first two, Edith brought me a dress she thought I would really like based on my feedback from the other dresses. The dress she brought me was PERFECT. And not at all what I thought I originally wanted! Without Edith and her daughter, I don't believe I would have found "the one" and I'm so grateful! The process was quick and easy and I got to celebrate with some bubbly and a cute "I said yes to the dress" pic afterwards.

We don't often pop in but decided to stop by while walking up and down Franklin Street. I had bought a pair of (expensive) socks from them years ago, and on a whim I bought a similar pair. I considered it a Christmas present to myself. The fashion and offerings are colorful and of good taste. The staff were pleasant, even though their register printer was not working, so they texted me my receipt. Worth stopping by when you're in town. PS, they also offer gift cards.

Not only do they not provide a refund (as confirmed 2x with Elizabeth in customer service (not) , over the past 3 weeks) , you also have to pay for return shipping. And you will get a nasty attitude as well from Elizabeth. If you are insistent on doing business with Formalwear Outlet , note their sister store has listings on Ebay for nearly 50% less, and with free returns, and no attitudes.

We usually rent from MW but last year it cost us around $300 to RENT. Someone in my son's prom…read moreparty said they were going here for a good deal on suits for the guys so we decided to just check it out. We drove over an hour. The parking lot and overflow were full and when we walked in it was very overwhelming with us being used to being helped right away and having an assigned person to help. Laci (I believe ) helped us at the beginning as we looked lost and overwhelmed then Ally took over and we had her full and undivided attention. Thankfully. She was very knowledgeable in fitting my son with his correct size, gave her opinion on best color to match his dates dress etc she answered all the questions we had and we felt at ease being there and having her help us. The suit side was tame compared to the dress side. We ended up buying a whole suit, vest, white shirt, 2 ties (we couldn't decide on the color) and 2 pocket chiefs. All for $275 which is less than what we paid to rent at MW. And my son will have this suit until he outgrows it. Perfect for upcoming clubs and interviews his senior year next year. I highly recommend this place for suits and dresses. I'll update my review with a picture of my son on his prom night next month! Thanks ALLY!!!

Pros: the young guy that was originally helping me and the suit that I purchased…read more Cons: almost too many to name. 1. It seemed like every employee was fighting to get commission. 2. Once I was ready to pay, no one was willing to wait on me. If I'm spending over $500 on a suit, somebody probably needs to check me out. I was about 30 seconds away from dropping my purchase and walking out. In retrospect, I probably should have left. 3. The guy that checked me out seemed like he was in a hurry to get me out of the building. 4. Once I was rung up, and came home, I checked my receipt and was overcharged $30 from the tags on my purchase. 5. When I called the hotline to have that fixed, the girl helping me, Carmen, seemed annoyed at my request. I wasn't asking to save money, just to be charged what the tags said I should've been charged. 6. Rather than refunding the overcharge to my card, Carnen made it seem like I was at fault, and said the only options were to drive an hour+ to the store and get a refund, or get a store credit. 7. When I stated I didn't want a credit or to drive over an hour to the store, I told her I wanted it put on my card and she said we can only send you a check that will take you over a month to receive. Additionally, she said I would be returned the 29.99 that was overcharged to my purchase, and not the additional tax that I was charged. Other than one guy at the store, and a great suit that I purchased, I was overcharged, treated poorly, and was made to feel like I was wrong. I would not recommend the store to anyone. Although I still endorse Men's Wearhouse, I highly recommend everyone to avoid the CARY location. It is an absolute crap fest. Will NEVER shop at this location again. The guy that checked me out even complained about other employees for not putting up signs reflecting a discount on ties. Not at all professional, and after being overcharged for what I purchased and told too go look at the ties, I'm glad I didn't as I likely would have been charged full price as apposed to the sale price he was offering.
