Bride in a tulle gown

The Shop

A boutique built for every chapter.

The Mahoning Valley's one-stop formal shop — owned by Sara Cummings, finished in-house by Susie, and staffed by consultants who learn your name and remember your sister.

Meet the Owner

Sara Cummings.
From seamstress to owner.

Sara is from New Springfield, Ohio. She graduated from Cardinal Mooney in 2010 and earned her Fashion Merchandising degree from Youngstown State University in 2014. After graduation, she worked as a seamstress at TMB — right here on Boardman-Poland Road — under the previous owners, Mark & Lorraine Fulks.

She left for North Carolina for four years, building her career in bridal alterations. Then she came home. In 2018, Sara took over TMB as the new owner — the seamstress who learned the shop floor running the whole shop.

"I love making brides and prom girls feel beautiful on the most important days of their lives."

— Sara Cummings, Owner

The Team

The women who'll actually help you.

Every appointment at TMB is one of these consultants in the room with you. They learn your venue, your fiancé's name, your sister's height, and what your mom is going to wear two years from now.

The Shop

Quality, unique, and distinct.

We carry quality, unique, and distinct dresses for the trendy, stylish, and fashionable customer — at prices that don't make families flinch. Brides love the curated designer selection. Prom shoppers love that we carry the season's most-wanted Sherri Hill, ASHLEYlauren, and Primavera styles. And every dress that leaves the shop is finished by Susie.

That's the real differentiator. Most bridal shops sell you a gown and send you elsewhere for alterations. We sell you the gown and finish it. The dress that leaves the shop is the dress that fits.

We've been on Boardman-Poland Road long enough that we now dress the brides whose mothers we once dressed. That's not a marketing claim — it's just what happens when a family-run shop sticks around.

What We Believe

Three things we never compromise.

  1. 01

    Quality before price.

    Every dress on the rack is one we'd hand to our own daughter. Trends come, trends go — build quality is forever.

  2. 02

    Patience before urgency.

    If you need 20 dresses, we'll pull 20. If you need to come back next Saturday, we'll set the appointment. The dress is too important to rush.

  3. 03

    Fit before "fine."

    No dress leaves the shop until the seamstress signs off. "Good enough" isn't a thing here.
