“The store is fine for last-minute items or inexpensive clothes.”
From the reviews
Cons..... 1. Long lines at times 2. After putting everyone on to the Plus Size booties years ago on Social Media can’t seem to be find any in the store the lasts two time I was in there. 3. Most items particularly for Plus Sizes is online. Pros.... 1.
This Rainbow has friendly staff, a great selection of clothes, shoes and underwear... Even the plus size section was fully stocked. There is easy street parking and it's close to the bus stop. The only bad thing was... There are No changing rooms!
Best Rainbow store I have ever been in. I will recommend shopping here the staff was super friendly. Store was clean and organized and had some of the best fashions I have seen since shopping in NYC. Love this store.
The store is fine for last-minute items or inexpensive clothes. My daughter is 12, very tall (5'9), then frame, and the jeans and jogging pants fit perfectly. I have to help her find age-appropriate clothes.
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.
