“I had Kate help me get in and out of so many dresses, constantly complimenting and making me laugh.”
From the reviews
Kate is amazing! I know it’s her job to you know help with the dresses, get any others I want to try on, and help me find THE dress but she genuinely made me feel like a friend and not just another client / customer. She seemed genuinely happy for me when I found the dress I wanted the most.
The girl who helped me, Sophie, was so sweet. She made me feel so comfortable, and made sure I was in and out as quickly as possible. She also said she liked my vibe which was super nice of her. There is such a nice variety of styles and colors. The staff was so uplifting and kind.
Came here for my junior prom dress wanting something pastel and poofy, left with something completely unexpected (which im obsessed with) that my amazing associate, Sophie, helped me pick out!! She had the best eye for dresses I never thought I'd love. Thank you so much!!
Amazing experience at Gipper Prom! Sophie truly helped me decide on my dress as I was probably one of her most undecided clients. Thank you very much!
Plus size bridal & formal at Gipper Prom
Gipper Prom 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. Alterations are mentioned on site here, which makes the fitting logistics a whole lot easier.
Big & tall at Gipper Prom
Reviews and the store's own info mention men's big & tall at Gipper Prom — 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.
