My daughter had been looking for a special formal gown for weeks without any luck. After a tour of…read moreBaylor University last week we Yelped nearby dress shops. By chance we stopped by After 5 Formal Wear. Right off the bat we were wowed by the huge number of gorgeous gowns they had in stock. They employees were sweet as could be and helped her try on probably 13 different dresses. In the end, it was a hard choice because there were several contenders. But she ended up finding "the one", and we couldn't be happier with our experience. We ended up walking out with the dream dress she had been searching for. She wore it at a performance last night and it looked dazzling on stage.

We found the perfect gown in one hour, and it was completely painless and stress free. There are a wide range of prices here, so you can feel comfortable stopping in whether you have a small or a large budget. Thank you so much, After 5! We're only sad we didn't discover this place for her first prom two years ago.

She worked with me for days until I was happy. Not just until she made the sale, until I was ecstatic about being a bride even in the midst of all my planning. She not only gave me my absolute dream dress but she gave it to me within my budget and even threw in accessories, a veil, get-ready robe and so much more. Cinderella is an owned by woman who truly loves what she does and cares about the people she does it for, a literal fairy godmother. She made me the bride I always dreamt of being and I know my wedding will be something out of a fairytale because of her. I recommend her to any and every bride who wants their wedding day to feel like a dream.

I gave her my daughters average sizes in everyday clothes & let her know my budget, over the phone. I had a tight window in which to go dress hunting. She called me back promptly with 3 dresses pulled & being held for my DD to try on that might work... informing me there may be more, but she thought these might work best. Upon arrival I had my breath taken away by the array of glamorous dresses everywhere! It was such a Blessing to find such a formal shop, with high-end, red-carpet treatment. I'm a disabled, single mom. She took care of EVERYTHING! I mean EVERYTHING! She helped my DD in & out of the dresses, as I sat anxiously awaiting my DD to grace the room in lovely gown, after lovely gown. It brought tears to my eyes to see my DD being treated like a Real Princess! My DD has not had it easy. Trauma has interrupted her life, in more than one way. Feeling like a princess was the furthest thing from her mind. So Very Grateful for this boutiques ethics, moral fortitude, & customer service!! We are customers for life!!

I found THE dress for me.

Well, needless to say I found everything, and I mean everything, we needed for my daughters Junior Prom. I think most moms will agree these are special moments for us and thanks to this lovely shop it was easy, My daughter had the entire "say yes to the dress" experience and to top it off it was insanely competitive prices besting everything else we had seen. Anyway, Long story short my daughter is so excited over this dress and MATCHING jewelry it couldn't have been a better experience. If you're looking for the right attire this is where you need to be!!!!!

My cousin corrected the stylist (since I didn't know what time it was). Then after approximately 40 minutes into my appointment I was told there was a 6 dress try on limit and I needed to stop. My family and I felt extremely uncomfortable, unwanted and rushed. The stylist only assisted with putting the dress on, barely responded when I spoke while undressed in the dressing room and no one spoke to us at all after I reached the try on limit. Completely ruined my first time trying on dresses, left me feeling horrible and ruined what I was hoping would be the most special moment with my great grandmother after I traveled to try on dresses with her present.

The exterior definitely worried me a little- but the selection inside??? Oh my god. The ladies told me they carry up to size 32, which is amazing because a friend of mine has trouble finding sizes. I walked in with an idea of what I wanted, was shown multiple dresses, and fell in love with a suggestion that I never would've picked myself. The prices of the dresses are amazing, and I cannot stress how much I would recommend this shop for prom, brides, and bridesmaids!! read more
