DCF: North American Ad Campaign Launch and Blog

All of us at Dress Code Formal have been working overtime and around the clock to make sure everything is running smoothly with our online boutique. We have had an unbelievable response, so far, and we are committed to dedicating all we have to making DCF your one-stop shop for any special occasion and bridal need.
Dress Code Formal is getting ready to launch an Ad campaign in National Bridal Magazine, Modern Bride, for their April 28, 2009 released issue. Besides the two-page advertisement we are running the magazine, we have received increased support and interest and have been asked to participate in the magazine's editorial section as well. This is a huge compliment and greatly appreciated by DCF to be recognized for original and quality designed bridesmaid dresses and evening gowns that are great for any occasion.
In order to give our customers more than just a great product, we have formed the Dress Code Formal blog which will publish a new story every week beginning April 1, 2009. The DCF Blog will contain how-to's, tip sheets, money saving techniques and general style advice from our design team. Our blog will also discuss some of the latest trends and red carpet looks hitting the streets.
Beside the blog and the news, make sure to stay on top of our Style Codes which are published below the products on the product pages. They are a series of style tips from the Dress Code Formal design team. The DCF design team has recently released 7 new Style Codes which define and help dress all of the 7 body shapes or silhouettes. Find the perfect style bridesmaid dress or evening gown for your body type! Stay tuned...Dress Code Formal has a lot more coming your way!

2009-02-02: Destination Bridal line in the works!

Destination Bridal line in the works!

Dress Code Formal's bridesmaid dresses and several of the evening gowns have been ordered to be used as wedding gowns. At Dress Code Formal, we always strive to give you and our other valued customers what you want, and it has been brought to our attention that our customers want a great value, quality, bridal gown collection.
DCF's design team is working on a Destination bridal collection that will debut during the late-summer months of 2009. Although, many of our bridesmaid dresses can already be used as informal bridal gowns or destination bridal gowns, we feel that we can expand on the idea and create gowns that are geared toward the bride. Dress Code Formal's bridal collection will feature luxurious bridal fabrics, in flattering and breathtaking silhouettes. DCF's design team is also working on several convertible styles which are versatile for a location event.
As Dress Code Formal is committed to eliminating retail markups by selling directly to you, we will continue this with our wedding gowns, bringing you beautiful bridal gowns at a fraction of the cost you would pay in a retail location. Do not be fooled: You are not eliminating quality; You are finally getting the deal you would only get if you knew somebody at the company!
With the economy in such a rut, most of us cannot afford to splurge and spend thousands of dollars on our wedding gowns. However, we don't want to buy any cheap, poorly made bridal gowns. So, what do we do? There is no place like Dress Code Formal. DCF will always keep its priority on quality and variety. We will never put our quality in question and we will never cut corners when it comes to fabric, dying, and timeliness. Dress Code Formal is the friend you never had in the bridal industry, and don't forget to call on us anytime you are in need for a special occasion!

2009-01-16: Dress Code Formal is Recession Friendly!

Dress Code Formal is Recession Friendly!

Dress Code Formal has finally launched the first and only online boutique in North America for designer brand quality bridesmaid dresses, bridal accessories, evening gowns and special occasion dresses. DCF has eliminated retail markups and are selling these bridesmaid dresses, evening gowns and special occasion dresses directly to you, plus our dresses are tax free! With our premiums on the quality of our bridesmaid dresses, evening gowns, and special occasion dresses, as well as great customer service, you can enjoy the freedom to create your custom look for less. Dress Code Formal is committed to bringing you the same quality service and variety as at a retail bridal or retail special occasion location.
With the recession affecting everybody we know, and so many of our friends struggling to make ends meet, we realized that we can actually do something to change the way the consumer views the market. DCF can at least take the bitterness out of shopping for your Bridal Party or special occasion. You do not have to feel like you are the victim of a poor economy, blame anybody for losing their job, or feel upset that you cannot obtain the quality you deserve due to huge markups and no personal financial growth. Now, you can have the same quality dress as any of the Benjamin's without paying the same astronomical price.
Please stay tuned as over the next few months, Dress Code Formal will be continuing to expand and finalize additions to our online boutique including, new features, new styles of bridesmaid dresses, special occasion dresses, evening gowns and fun bridal accessories. We are improving our Live Chat feature which will be available again shortly.
Make sure that you register with Dress Code Formal, even if you don't place an order today. Especially with the attention our launch is getting, we want to make sure to keep you up to date on all the fun promotions, great sales and savings that will frequently be offered for our bridesmaid dresses, evening gowns, special occasion dresses, and bridal accessories. DCF wants to make sure you are included in all of our contest opportunities, including the "Dream Dress" contest, where you will have the opportunity to have your design created!
Dress Code Formal would like to welcome you to our brand new North American online boutique. We hope you find the bridesmaid dress, evening gown or special occasion dress of your dreams. Make sure to revisit us frequently as many changes and additions will be taking place! For your assurance, we are recognized by the Cambridge Who's Who. With DCF you can trust that you will get quality, variety, and a great experience overall!
