From the reviews
This isn’t a bad review but more for awareness. 3 girls who I mentor wanted me to join them for dress shopping. I noticed that the worked payed way more attention to the girls with moms who also looked very different than the girls I joined at the shop.
Beautiful dresses, pricey but beautiful. My daughter bought her prom dress here and is excited to go to prom! Gave 1 star bc assistance was limited due to only 1 employee in the entire store, strange bc it is huge and lots of customers....need at least 2 more people to properly care for clients
PROM 2025!!! If you’re looking for a prom dress for your daughter or for yourself this prom season, first impressions is the place to go! They had all kinds of dresses in every color and size. Their staff were all so sweet and supportive, all of the girls including the customers were so kind and just encouraging.
Took my daughter to this store to shop for a prom dress and she actually found the one that she wanted. They have a nice selection with plenty to choose from at the store. It can get pricey but that is nearly any store selling the same type of clothing.
Plus size bridal & formal at First Impressions
First Impressions 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 First Impressions
Reviews and the store's own info mention men's big & tall at First Impressions — 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.
