OML Bridal & Formal

Picked with a stylist. Fitted in the same building.

OML works from a suite on NW Cole Terrace, and the prom side gets the same treatment as the brides: one on one, by appointment.

Who you meet
The owners style you themselves
Ericka is the founder, and she writes that she started out working at her grandparents' bridal shop. Alissa Novak is co-owner and a fellow lead stylist. The two count three decades of experience between them.
The prom floor
KiKi is the bridal and prom master stylist, and she has also served as the store's prom merchandise buyer. Joanna is the formalwear specialist. Georgia Lee is a prom consultant known for her lists.
The sewing room
Sarah oversees the in-store alterations and fittings. Jessica, the lead seamstress and master tailor, does the sewing.

The fitting

Pinned where you bought it

In her own words, Jessica started sewing at 14 to make her own clothes and went on to work as a custom seamstress and tailor. The store's own summary credits her with 30 years of tailoring.

She has "made thousands of dresses fit."

Jessica, lead seamstress

For a prom dress, that means the hem, the straps and the waist are pinned in the same building where you found the gown.
