From the reviews

Lots of good urban clothes. Has plus size and children clothing. Took my mom and cousins. They all found things they liked

Nice store. Great prices. Over stocked hard to walk around the isles. Friendly staff.

★★★★★ — Alicia, Jul 2018

I have loved Rainbow Shops since I was 18 and that's a long time ago. Although I am in my 60's I still love their fashion. And the prices can't be beat

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.
