I made an appointment in advance and asked if they had a selection of special occasion dresses on premise in which i was told yes. When I arrived the sales lady was very nice though her attention was clearly on a large party appointment there at the same time. I found there was actually very low inventory of special occasion dresses to choose from. I was left on my own with the only 2 dresses I tried on, which did not work for me.
This is a lovely shop and lovely people with beautiful bridal, and prom options. From a loyal customer of 4 proms. Please don't forget about the mother of the bride and groom. Be up front about what you have. time is precious.

Needed measurements for a tuxedo, I tried to do it myself. terrible idea. Although I wasn't buying from them I still greeted courteously and friendly, they were extremely knowledgeable and made to feel comfortable being there from the second I walked in. Excellent business, exceptional people.

Easy to get to, and quick fast measurements. I signed in to be fitted at 12:10 pm and signed out at 12:20 pm. If any of you are to find the pot of gold in your relationship. Rainbow's end is the place to go! Best of luck!

I bought my dress here during the bag sale for $149, and don't get me wrong I love my dress and got a great price on it. One of the workers there did the corset back up for me so I did not know that one of the snaps on the back was coming off. Had she told me that the dress was in some way defective maybe I would have gone with the other dress I love just as much. When I called she said the dress is sold as is and all she could do was have me drive 2 hours back to the shop so she could put a couple stiches in it. Not to mention they tried to put my dress in a garbage bag and I had to pay $10 for a garment bag. Most of the ladies there were extremely rude with the exception of Sydney.

I can't say enough about how wonderful my experience was. Linda listened to what I thought I wanted, listened to my feedback on each dress that I put on, and found me the perfect wedding dress after only a few tries. I was never shown a dress outside of my budget. I wanted color and wow did this dress deliver. The thing is, they don't carry colored wedding dresses but Linda pointed out how one of the dresses that I liked could be altered to include it.
She was amazing to work with and you won't find someone with this type of vision and experience in a chain store. She was so kind and not pushy at all. They genuinely love what they do here and it shows. It's really important to make an appointment first and not just show up, though. That way, it's all about you. Saturdays are by appointment only. The green pieces of the dress were originally white. You could not tell that anything had been done to it.

We were there for about 2 hours but we found the dress! Kerry was patient and SO helpful. I must have tried on 20 dresses (although I ended up buying the 3rd one I tried on, that Kerry pulled for me after the consultation). Such a great experience!

Very friendly and helpful staff bought my wedding dress and love it they did a wonderful job with the extra work that needed to be done on it. Came the first day with no appointment and they still took me in worked with me and made me feel comfortable they listen to what you like or don't and find dresses that u will love they are not pushy to sell items or extra and they listen when you say you have a budget and stays at budget and don't try to sell you things you can't afford they also sell other items that are not for wedding so I will be back.
