From the reviews

Wide selection of clothes in this store & same thing on shoes. Female worker that’s at the shoe area was helpful & mannered. The rest seemed busy whatnot.

I'm from Jersey this Rainbow location is like the mother of the Rainbow stores. A much better and bigger selection of clothes. They have a second floor. The staff were decent which is hard to come by when shopping at Rainbow. There was also a huge selection of shoes as well.

★★★★☆ — Jacqui, Jan 2020

Love that they have CUTE, affordable plus size clothes and not just a tiny section!! It got 4 stars from me for not having a dressing room... How do you know if you love it if you can't try it on??

★★★★☆ — Lacy, Mar 2017

I found the perfect outfit for my daughter's theater performance at the Actor's Temple Theater tonight. I can go now feeling confident and beautiful in an outfit that stunning and affordable.

Plus size bridal & formal at Rainbow Shops

Rainbow Shops 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.
