From the reviews
I had a great experience shopping for my homecoming dress! The manager was super helpful and made the whole process super easy. She took the time to help me find the perfect style and made sure I got the right size. She personally made sure I absolutely loved the dress before I left.
I went to Gowns Bridal because I ordered my wedding dress online and it didn't come in time. My wedding was 2 days away and I needed a dress that would fit me off the rack. Katie C. was so friendly and helpful especially since I'm also handicapped with walking braces. I had come by myself due to short term notice.
I’ve been here a handful of times and each time was an amazing experience. The stylist are super nice and helpful. They have a great range of sizes and beautiful gowns. I picked out about 10-12 gowns and they helped me in and out of all of them.
I purchased my wedding dress from Gowns. It was absolutely stunning! It was for a destination wedding in Cancun. Thank you to the owner for helping me through the process and being super flexible with all my questions!
Plus size bridal & formal at Gowns Bridal and Formal Boutique
Gowns Bridal and Formal Boutique 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.
