From the reviews

I like the people that work in this store. They're helpful and kind. They have a pretty vast selection of XL's and Up sizes. Really cute styles and current trends. The prices are good for the quality of the fabric & how the garments are made. They have shoes, accessories, and some children clothing.

Bishop has something for everybody that's a woman that is there are children's clothing here as well as big plus sizes that's why I like to shop I paid $6 for a l dress which would cost you $125 at Macy's or more. This is my to go if your big shop

★★★★★ — Rachel, Jul 2019

I was so excited to find this place! Since moving to California, I have been having trouble finding any Rainbow stores. Selection is good and the store is pretty organized. Prices are better than online.

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.
