History
Established in 1994.
Elly’s Formal Wear & Bridals first started in the home of Elly Ewbank in Kihei, Maui. She worked many long hours, day and night custom sewing wedding apparel for her customers. She realized she outgrew her sewing room in her home. Then in 1994, she opened a small 400 sq foot store in central Kihei. Elly’s Formal Wear is now at it’s final location, which is 1,600 sq feet and is continuing to grow. Elly hopes to pass the company down to her daughter, Terri, so that she can continue the family business and Terri wishes to eventually pass it down to her own daughter, Tatyana. Generation after generation, they each carry the legacy of Elly’s Formal Wear. Throughout the years, Elly’s Formal Wear has contributed to non-profit organizations and charities and participates in community events. Also, it is important to both Elly and Terri to support the local residents of Maui and Hawaii.

Elly E.
Business Owner
Elly’s Formal Wear is a second generation family business. Owned and operated by Elly Ewbank and her daughter, Terri. Elly is an experienced seamstress who started her business in November 1994. She has lived on Maui since 1971. Elly loved sewing as a teenager in the Philippines. After moving to Maui, she began doing alterations for Maui residents. By request, Elly started constructing custom-made wedding gowns, prom dresses and bridesmaid dresses. Her customers were so pleased with her quality workmanship, which motivated her to open a formal wear/bridal shop in 1994, then later progressed to Maui’s largest bridal and tuxedo and shop today. Each customer is treated as family with love and attention, as their clients would say. Elly and Terri value the quality in their products and are known for the individual customer attention they give.
