I started in this business back in 1988 before the internet played a large part in the way we live our lives. I still believe that its always better to visit a store that carries their inventory in stock so you can try on as many styles as need ed before settling on that perfect outfit. Its not often one gets dressed formal anymore so it is important to try things on. When you order from a catalog or internet your looking at professional models and yes everything looks good on them. On such a special occasion do you really want to walk around with pants that are too short or a vest that doesn't button? We carry all our inventory in stock so last minute changes, alterations, or style changes are no problem. I care about the product we put out. Most of my staff has been with me between 10 and 16 years! That is because they care too and together we put out a great product.
