About Us
Welcome to Selmi's Formal Wear, where style meets simplicity in the heart of the Sauk Valley! Founded three years ago by Katy Selmi, our journey began with tuxedo rentals, helping countless people look their best for proms, weddings, and special events. As we grew, our customers kept asking one thing: When are you going to add dresses?
In late 2024, we took that feedback to heart. Katy pursued the dream, expanding Selmi's Formal Wear to a new location and adding over 300 stunning prom dresses to our collection. We are now thrilled to offer a vibrant selection of both tuxedos and dresses, making Selmi’s the one-stop shop for your formal wear needs.
Our new store is designed to provide an exciting yet relaxing atmosphere, making dress shopping a breeze. Whether you're preparing for prom, a wedding, or any special occasion, we’re here to help you find that perfect look without the stress.
At Selmi’s, we believe that shopping for formal wear should be as fun and memorable as the event itself. We’re proud to serve the Sauk Valley and beyond with a fresh, fun approach to fashion.
Stop by, browse our collections, and get ready to shine!
Katy Selmi - Founder
"I founded Selmi's Formal Wear because I saw a real need in our community for high-quality, accessible formal wear. I wanted to create a place where people could come in and feel confident knowing they’d leave with something perfect for their big event. What I enjoy most is the process—working with customers to find the right fit and seeing how much it means to them when we get it just right. That’s what keeps me excited to continue growing this business!"
