Video: Dress Code | The Making Of
We do things differently at Dress Code. And explaining the shopping experience sometimes can be difficult, especially if we’re talking to someone who has been buying off-the-shelf their entire life. So today we’re releasing a short film that walks through the entire experience, from setting up an appointment with a Style Consultant to the final fitting and our Perfect Fit guarantee. Meeting with our customers in their home or office allows us to provide a luxury experience that just isn’t found in traditional retail. And...

And with rentals in the $100 range, those that need to rent more than a day for all the wedding festivities (photo sessions, the wedding, the reception) are already well into the suit price range anyway. But the wedding suit isn’t only practical – it’s stylish, and can be just as formal if you select the right fabric and accessories, or...
