What shoppers say again and again
“The stylist was kind and clearly trying her best, but many of the dresses shown were outside my budget, in much smaller sizes, or different from the style I had requested.”
“We arrived and early and were promptly greeted and put in a dressing room with our picks for prom dresses.”
“Overall, the staff was kind and helpful, but better communication would have made the experience much smoother and my current season a little less stressful.”
“Additionally they have in house alterations which is so convenient!”
From the reviews
Bought my daughter’s senior prom dress here, the girls working there were SO welcoming and helpful. They made my daughter feel like a million bucks. Definitely will be going back for her next formal event.
Coming to Eight Avenue was such an amazing experience. I worked with Nicole who was an amazing stylist and lovely person. I told her what I liked and she helped me choose dresses while also getting me out of my comfort zone (in a good way) in her recommendations.
Okay, everyone, this review is coming from the perspective of a husband shopping with his wife. My wife went into this local shop to look for a dress for our son's wedding. The two young ladies who helped us were amazing!! They were attentive without being overbearing or high pressured.
The associates here are so positive and helpful! I got my wedding dress here and they have very extensive sizes for every body type. I felt very special during my appointment. Additionally they have in house alterations which is so convenient! Thank you 8th Avenue team for helping me find the dress of my dreams!
Plus size bridal & formal at Eighth Avenue Villager
Eighth Avenue Villager 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 Eighth Avenue Villager
Reviews and the store's own info mention men's big & tall at Eighth Avenue Villager — 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.
