From the reviews

Amazing people. They were so helpful finding a new dress after my first dress was accidentally ruined and even discounted the second dress we got ! Definitely recommend coming here shopping for a dress for any occasion here. The selection is one of the biggest I’ve ever seen along with a dress to fit any budget.

Elegant Evenings has the best selection of pageant and prom dresses! They are very attentive and helpful when looking for the perfect dress. We have rented tuxes here for the boys and bought pageant dresses for my girl and she won!

★★★★★ — Amanda, Apr 2025

Elegant Evenings in Laurel, Mississippi is the PREMIER location for all your homecoming, prom, pageant, or special occasion needs. I have 2 teenage daughters, and Jalin created an entire wardrobe for their upcoming pageant events. The first time I walked into the door, Jalin immediately made my girls feel special.

★★★★★ — Dr., Mar 2021

Literally THE BEST experience I could ever imagine. Getting my wedding dress was a smooth and easy process and they made me feel like a million bucks today! They were so helpful and listened to every idea and thought I had. Also the MOST affordable dresses!!!!!!

Plus size bridal & formal at Elegant Evenings

Elegant Evenings 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.

Check appointment info on their site

Big & tall at Elegant Evenings

Reviews and the store's own info mention men's big & tall at Elegant Evenings — 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.
