Lots of selection, lots of dresses. They made the Prom shopping an easy no hassle event! My daughter got compliments all night, and I didn't spend a fortune! Don't waste time going anywhere else. The owners took their time assuring us that the sequins on her dress would be fixed, and they were without problem. They also gave us a discount to do for the problems. We heard of another girl complaining about a rip in the dress and thought she could order a new one in. They are not "sample" dresses. Dont let one bad review spoil your experience here. Some people are just crazy.... Pros: null Cons: null more

Amazing Experience! 10/27/2011

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience here! We had a wonderful sales girl that was funny and had a good sense of what my daughter wanted! We found the experience to be very relaxing, and loved it! They had dresses at good prices, and they were much better quality then at the mall or other stores. My daughter found a dress that was great for her age, and it wasn't over budget. My daughter is usually a picky person but she found a great dress! We went to the mall and were horrified at the dresses and the tightness of the dresses! Alex and I will be returning for future dresses. Pros: null Cons: null more

Horrible Experience!!! 9/10/2011

I wIsh they had negative stars!!! I went here with my daughter (a freshman), for her first homecoming dress. The sales girl picked out dresses she wanted for my daughter and forced her to try them on,she did not give us a chance to really look at the dresses. What she picked out was slutty and inappropriate for a young girl to wear. She also kept opening the curtain on my daughter. After six hooker style dresses, I said why don't we look at the dresses. She found one she liked but it was out of y budget. The sales girl said to my daughter " You have champagne taste and a juice box budget". I was so appalled we walked out. Then the other sales lady proceeded to tell me that no one can beat her prices.... WRONG!!! Went to the mall and found a beautiful dress within my budget. more

WONDERFUL! 4/5/2011

So nice, and they were very helpful! Down to earth and the girls were fun to work with! Rebecca knows so much about dresses, it made my girl feel like a princess! Thank you for saving our Prom, and giving us the time of day compared to another store down the road! I would reccomend this store to anyone and everyone looking for nice "Prom girls and Prom Mom" Thank you! more

Best Formal Wear Shop 3/1/2009

Gipper's is by far the best formal wear shop out there. They helped fit me for my prom dress. I got the perfect dress and the staff was super. Very honest people. If they didn't like something on me, they told me. It was obvious they really cared about me having the best dress possible. They helped me with the sizing and style, and even the extras to go with the dress. By far the best formal shop there is! Pros: Staff, friendliness more
