From the reviews
I go to Always & Forever every year to look for a dress, and they’ve killed it every time! Thank you guys so much for having the prettiest dresses!! Also, whenever you book an appointment try to get with Autumn! She’s amazing and she knows every dress in the store by heart.
I cannot say enough good things about this place! From start to finish, the experience was wonderful. The staff was beyond friendly—so informative, helpful, and truly invested in making my appointment perfect.
Haylee helped me shop for my dress and she was the best! From the moment I walked in the store everyone was kind. I 100% recommend shopping here, Haylee was attentive to my needs and gave her honest opinion when I asked her. All the girls were super nice and complimented me throughout the time I was there!
I had the best experience today! I bought my junior prom dress and Haylee made it the best experience ever. She’s super kind and made me feel so beautiful in every dress I tried on! Incredible service and incredible dresses!
Plus size bridal & formal at Always & Forever
Always & Forever comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6.
Big & tall at Always & Forever
Reviews and the store's own info mention men's big & tall at Always & Forever — extended sizes, longer inseams and sleeve lengths, or a dedicated big & tall selection rather than a single rack. If you need specific sizes (tall lengths, extended necks, wide-width shoes), a quick call ahead saves the trip: stock in the far ends of the size run moves fast, and many stores can order your size even when it's not on the floor that day.
