From the reviews

The Chicago and Kedzie location. Now this is a nice place to shop. Always enjoy the experience.The store is nice, clean and orderly, and the staff is rather good at what they do as well. And I believe they deserve raises for above and beyond the call of duty type service at this location.

★★★★★ — Jeanette, Jul 2022

Actually went there today. Beautiful winter (sweater) dresses, reasonably service and prices, great selection of colors. $3-$15 clearance sales.

This was my first time visiting this store, they had a great selection of plus size clothing at a decent price. The cashier was wonderful, I'm already planning my next visit!

★★★★★ — Clau, Oct 2021

This particular store has a lot of variety to choose from. They have children's clothes and women's plus size as well.

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.
