ABOUT US

EST 2O18

Inspired by a mother’s journey to help her daughter find unique and affordable formal dresses, The Formal Gallery was born in 2018. What began as a small collection of dresses shared among friends quickly grew into a beloved business. In April 2024, a 22-year-old with a passion for empowering women stepped in to lead the company. 

A NEW ERA

With over three years of experience working within this well-established business, our owner has brought fresh energy, innovative ideas, and a personal touch to enhance the cherished service. To reflect our evolution and bring a new, modern look to the brand, we are proud to reintroduce ourselves as 'Formal Gallery' with a renewed commitment to exceptional service and style.

IT’S YOUR DAY

We know how important your special event is, which is why we keep our dresses in exceptional condition—so you can feel confident and look amazing. Our try-on appointments are more than just about trying on dresses; they’re a personalised journey to find your perfect outfit. With the guidance of our friendly stylists, we make the experience enjoyable, effortless, and completely tailored to you.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

At Formal Gallery, we believe every woman deserves to feel confident, radiant, and truly herself. As a proudly Gold Coast-based dress hire business, we specialise in curating unique, cherry-picked dresses from all over the world. We pride ourselves on providing an experience that makes finding your dream dress stress-free, affordable, and exciting.
