Patricia and Shirley are the loveliest ladies who offer exceptional, caring, patient, knowledgeable and professional service. The beautiful large variety of dresses is a bonus. Even though this was very exciting for my daughter and , we also had a bit of dread as my daughter hates dresses but Pat was outstanding from start to finish accommodating where she could to make my daughter feel comfortable,  confident and beautiful like a Princess. Even allowed another try on session last minute. I honestly couldn't thank the ladies enough for making it such a memorable and pleasurable experience. We only get this once. Didn't even require the other dress shop fittings. Thank you Pat and Shirley.  Highly recommended to anyone.

As a non-traditional bride, I was nervous about dress shopping, but this shop made me feel so comfortable, confident, and beautiful from the very beginning. They truly embraced my style and helped me find a dress that felt completely like me. Such a welcoming and special experience — I’m so grateful 💕

Wow! What an amazing business! Patricia had such a great variety of gorgeous, high quality dresses in store. Patricia went over and above what I would hope to receive from a business- and delivered the BEST experience I have ever had purchasing and altering a ball gown. If you are looking for a great quality gown, don’t look anywhere else - go straight to Angels Formal Wear !!

I thoroughly recommend Angels Formal Wear, my wedding dress fitted perfectly and was exactly what I wanted and a fraction of the price I was expecting to pay. If I ever need another formal dress I will definitely be going back. The whole experience of choosing and trying on dresses was everything a bride could wish for

I went to Patricia in October of 2025, I was scared that I wasn’t going to get a dress in time, but she was so lovely and helpful. I showed her a photo of what style I was going for and she knew exactly which dress to put me in. It was probably love at first sight with this dress. It was absolutely stunning. Thank you so much Patricia for everything❤️

we haven’t purchased anything yet but just from 20 minutes at the end of the day, I can tell that they are absolutely wonderful at Angel’s. They didn’t rush us, so kind and offered genuine advice to what would suit us and showed us the best styles. Amazing service, we felt very cared for and will absolutely be giving this company our money. I would highly recommend this store to anyone looking for formal dresses as they are so kind and thoughtful towards their customers.
