I had a wonderful experience shopping for my sister's prom dress here. Fabiola is incredibly welcoming and is the perfect hype woman for a teen girl trying on dresses. She let us take our time exploring the dress options without looking over our shoulders, then pulled additional options she thought we'd like based on our selections. She was very gentle in helping my sister try on the dresses and seemed genuinely excited by my sister's reactions.
The dress selection is AMAZING. They have everything from vintage style to ball gowns to red-carpet ready. This is definitely the place to go in Portland if you want head-turning, wow factor dresses. My sister came all the way from Bellingham, WA to come to this dress shop and we'll almost certainly come here for prom dress shopping next year. I can't recommend enough! Thank you Fabiola!

I know our options are quite limited in the Bay Area, but check out this store and see if they can help you. We will definitely use...

Sparkly gowns has an extensive inventory of dresses in every color and size imaginable. Yes, you could buy a gown online and often pay less, but why not support this small business in Portland?
Miss Oregon wore several Sparkly Gowns at Miss America, and we loved supporting our local pageant gown supplier. Do yourself a favor, and make an appointment to see Fabiola for your...
