From the reviews
Staff old and new are great and down to earth. It’s located on the South Side of Pittsburgh. I e been shopping here since the doors open. Now it’s a last minute move for me a shirt, earrings, clutch, or something for the kids you can find what you need for low low prices.
There is always a great choice of clothing. It's stylish but very reasonable. The racks are packed, but space is limited. I found tops and bottoms for $3. I unfortunately did not pack everything, so I needed a few changes of clothes at a bargain price.
Absolutely LOVE this store. The employees are super nice and helpful. This is the best place to shop for dresses at an affordable price. They also have great deals on off brand perfumes and jewelry. When I need a new outfit to add to my wardrobe and are strapped for cash, this is the place I go.
Every year when I come to Pittsburgh to see my family. Rainbow is one of my go to for children's coats for our coat drive at my church in Maryland. The manager Tanisha Cross and the staff (Lucky, Precious) was so friendly and helpful to the customers. Excellent customer service.
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.
