From the reviews
I absolutely loved my dress for my bridal shower! I got 2 prom dresses here 9 years ago and I would go back here in a heartbeat. My dress was a long, sleeveless, and an open back white Jovani gown.
We had a beautiful Experience shopping for a dress for my Daughter’s senior prom at Effie’s! Laureta was AMAZING!! She knew what to show my daughter to meet our needs in terms of beautiful gowns to fit our budget as well the best fits for her body type.
Love Effie’s Boutique. If I I was able to give more then 5 stars I would. I have been going to Effies since I was 16 yrs old. My mom and I always bought dresses from Giselle and her staff. It’s family owned and they treat everyone like family. After Covid I took my daughter to Effie’s for her Sweet 16 dress.
I couldn’t be more pleased with Effie’s Boutique. The owner was extremely warm, inviting and accommodating. She didn’t rush my daughter or her friend; despite only having made an appointment for one person. She let them try on multiple dresses, take pics, and then try them on again to be sure it was THE dress!!
Plus size bridal & formal at Effie's Boutique
Effie's Boutique 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 Effie's Boutique
Reviews and the store's own info mention men's big & tall at Effie's Boutique — 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.
