From the reviews
2021 Homecoming dress shopping was a nightmare BUT we stumbled upon Special Occasions thanks to a past referral! The staff was very friendly and helpful and the selection was far greater than any store in the area. They offered a first come first serve approach with no appointment which this Mom was so grateful for!
Me and my mom always recommend people to buy dresses here and totally swear by this place! The staff is amazing and so helpful and patient! As a smaller girl iv always struggled with finding dresses that arnt to big/long so I always come here and find my dream dress every time!

Plus size bridal & formal at Special Occasions on the Avenue
Special Occasions on the Avenue 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. Alterations are mentioned on site here, which makes the fitting logistics a whole lot easier.
