🚪 great fitting rooms 3 mentions

“They just don't have a fitting room anymore so I'll have to exchange one pair that I bought.”

From the reviews

Wanna find a cute, low price outfit.. COME ON IN Ms. Fran and her team has the BEST customer service! My only concern is you have to go home to try it on.. WHY are they taking all the fitting rooms out of places.. GAS is to high to keep going back and forth. Especially when you are between sizes!

★★★★★ — Sherika, Jul 2025

Staff are friendly. Clothes are relatively cheap. The return policies are not that great but I make sure to get the good stuff that fits the first time around.

★★★★★ — Shenita, Aug 2017

They have a lot to choose from. I've been trying to find jeans that fit my body type and I didn't have trouble finding them here. They just don't have a fitting room anymore so I'll have to exchange one pair that I bought. I think it's time to open the fitting rooms back up, every other store has.

★★★★☆ — Stephenie, Dec 2023

Love shopping here but I find the plus size side has very cute stuff not on our side. I have many pieces from this store and just got some sweet blue pumps from there!

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.
