Prom, homecoming and a tux for your date can all come out of one Cabot shop. A Little Formal & More now runs its website under the name Once Upon A Dress, though the footer, the email address and the business itself still carry the original name. Whichever one you know it by, this is the formalwear stop for families in Lonoke County who would rather not spend a Saturday on the freeway into Little Rock.
The shop has also moved. Its old storefront on East Main Street gave way to a suite on South 2nd Street, and that is the address its Visit Us page now lists. If you have an older listing saved, update it before you head over.
The welcome page frames the store around the big events: a wedding, prom, homecoming or any special occasion, with an offer to help track down a dress if you do not find exactly what you want on the site.
Welcome to our family-owned business! We are dedicated to helping you prepare for your big event with care and passion.
That greeting sits on the shop's Visit Us page, and it fits a family-run shop that keeps dresses and tuxes side by side.
The formal and homecoming labels
Prom shoppers will spend most of their time in the Formals and Homecoming sections. The site breaks its evening stock out by designer:
- Clarisse, which shows up in both the formal and homecoming lineups
- Cinderella Divine, also in both sections
- Ashley Lauren
- Faviana, on the homecoming side
- Adora and Nox Anabel in the formal section
- Sydney's Closet, a label built around plus sizes, and Sophia Thomas on the homecoming side
That spread covers a full-length senior gown and a shorter homecoming dress from the same visit, and the plus-size line gives a wider range of shoppers something to pull from the rack. The evening labels are the reason Cabot students come in during spring, but the shop also stocks for quince, younger sisters and brides.

A date can be measured on his own schedule while you shop the formal racks. Getting both outfits from one store also makes it easier to match a vest or tie to the dress.
Cabot High School is the hometown prom for most shoppers here. Families also come in from Beebe High School and Lonoke High School in nearby towns, and from Jacksonville High School and Sylvan Hills High School in Sherwood, closer to the edge of the Little Rock metro in central Arkansas.
