From the reviews

Great selection of clothes for of clothes. There are a lot of styles, some may be to your liking some not. But, if you have a few children to buy clothes for you can shop economically here. My teenager finds a lot of clothes.

Awesome store! Excellent selection merchandise and great laysoon! This is the first Rainbow Shop I have been to in Texas! I have shopped their Florida stores in the Tampa Bay Area. I purchased items online and had to make a return. The cashier was very patient and helpful. ...

Great selection of school uniforms and the 25% off was a great incentive to stop by and shop!! The customer service was awesome the young lady was very helpful and assisted me in getting everything my granddaughter needed to go with her uniforms!

Ok thought it was just me that noticed they didn’t have shopping carts. Better to come in with a stroller. Thanks for the reminder. I appreciate the affordable dresses and some of their two piece sets are cute.

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.
