From the reviews

Nice and spacious. It even has a fitting room now. But they need to have at least 2 cashiers up from the line was pretty long

★★★★☆ — Mary, Feb 2019

Only was there once. No one greeted me not good stock in women's, at least not my size, everything I did end up getting for me didn't fit right and had to return it but the cashier was very patient going there again to get stuff for my daughter (18 months)

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.
