★★★★☆ — Keischa, Apr 2022

I love that this was the largest rainbow store I've ever been in. They had a large selection of stuff the down side was waiting in line to pay for items and the staff wasn't trained well

★★★★★ — Feminine, Feb 2017

The customer service went very well! The security guard was very friendly and professional. The managers and cashiers were very friendly, courteous and smiled when I was paying for my items! I like that and expect that! The manager was very friendly too. She spoke to me when I was looking at the clothes.

★★★★☆ — Devi, Feb 2021

Biggest Rainbow shop I have ever been in! They even have kids sizes here and not all Rainbows do. Staff was helpful & friendly. Store was clean. Sizes were appropriately racked, making them easy to find.

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.
