Very helpful staff, fantastic prices!!! I had never been here before, & I got some very cute & inexpensive tshirts & a skirt. Great staff, all were very friendly & PRESENT, like not on their phones! So great all around!

I always enjoy my visits to Rainbow. They always have something I want. I recommend this store all the time. Awesome selection of styles.

★★★★☆ — Donnell, Jun 2019

My shopping experience was great the staff was attentive. The cashier was very helpful, I haven't bought myself anything in 4 years and I decide to go in because it's one of my favorite shops 💯🤗. Everything was clean, well stocked and inventory was being put out on the floor as I shopped. I will return again very soon.

★★★★★ — Mildred, Mar 2021

Walked out with a dress, a top, a pair of pants and a matching set for like $40! Always a go to for some cute stuff off the clearance rack and usually not super busy

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.
