What's on the racks
“I came in and went straight to the shoes, which was the only thing I was planning to buy, and left with a whole new wardrobe due to the placement of her items.”
What shoppers say again and again
“Oh my gosh so the staff is amazing, but the manager named “Three” has her store nicely ran.”
From the reviews
The assortment of clothing is so amazing. It is not cookie cutter clothing, there is a wide variety every time I go. They carry plus sizes down. All of the employees are great, determined to make sure you find what you are looking for, but never pressure you or want you to purchase something that will not look good on…
Really love their selection and prices (the prices are amazing honestly). They have an awesome spectrum of sizes to fit everyone, and it's always very fashionable pieces no matter the size. They have kids clothes now too! And I really love their underwear and bra selection!
Oh my gosh so the staff is amazing, but the manager named “Three” has her store nicely ran. I’ve been to plenty of Rainbow and have even had the liberty at working at 2 locations in Daytona, but her store by far is now in my top “three” coincidentally.
I stopped here twice on my day off. I was browsing around on my first visit. On my second visit, I made purchases. Everything fit when I brought them back home. That lets you know the clothes are true to size. The store has a welcoming & friendly staff. Typically, when I shop in a Rainbow store.
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.
