From the reviews

I couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience. They gave me something I never imagined, because I didn’t know people like me could even have experiences like this. They have plus size dresses, THAT WERE BEAUTIFUL, AFFORDABLE, ON HAND AND READY TO GO! They were kind and welcoming to me. Wonderful experience.

Just skip all the other places you feel that you will get a deal on and go here! It’s worth the money to find a dress that your daughter well love! The staff and their choices delighted my super picky teen daughter and they handled everything including color suggestions and style of dress.

We had an amazing experience at Glitz and Gowns! We had an appointment at 1:00 Sunday and they were lined up eagerly awaiting our arrival. Kelsey was so sweet and pulled dress after dress for my indecisive daughter for her prom. She left happy and we stayed within our budget.

★★★★★ — Tina, Mar 2025

This was our first time at Glitz & Gowns - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! The sweetest, most patient girl, Ryan, helped my daughter find the perfect dress for her Beauty & Beau pageant. Their entire staff was extremely welcoming and helpful - great customer service! Huge selection of designer gowns!

Plus size bridal & formal at Glitz & Gowns

Glitz & Gowns 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.
