Hemming is half the battle with a prom gown, and LynDen Rose Bridal handles it under its own roof. The West Pueblo Boulevard shop has been in business since 1985, and its prom selection, which it describes as the very best in its market, sits alongside wedding gowns, quinceañera dresses, party dresses and tuxedo rentals. Visits start with a phone call or an online request form.
What the shop covers
LynDen Rose is a full-service formal shop in the old-fashioned sense. Its services start with prom, party and social occasion dresses and plus sizes. With tuxedos on the list too, a prom date can be fitted through the same shop.
Tuxedos
For rent, with tuxedo sales too; styles through Jim's Formal Wear
Accessories
Dyeable shoes, jewelry, lingerie, veils and tiaras
Bridal extras
Invitations and gown preservation
The store names its lines. For prom and evening, that means Christina Wu Prom, Christina Wu Celebrations, Christina Wu Elegance, Studio 17 and US Angels, with Stella York on the bridal side. Sizing is a strength. The store carries extended sizes up to 34, a range that gives curvy prom shoppers in Pueblo real choice without a trip north.
We have in store professional seamstresses to assure your gown fits perfectly.
That promise is front and center at the store, and the fine print sits right beside it. Alterations are always an extra charge, priced by what each gown needs, but steaming is complimentary. The shop also makes a point that some families will appreciate: it prefers that shoppers try on, get fitted and leave with a dress that is right.
Prices, deposits and timing
The whole bridal and formal selection runs from $198 to $2,000, and the store's pitch is a gown for every budget. There are two ways to get a dress.
In the store
Bought off the rack
- Available at any time
Not in stock
Special order
- A 50% deposit when the order is placed, the balance when the gown arrives
- About 12 to 14 weeks
That 12-to-14-week window is the number to plan around. A junior who special-orders in January has a comfortable cushion before late-spring proms, with time left over for alterations.
Pueblo Boulevard is State Highway 45, the expressway that loops around the west side of the city, which makes the shop easy to reach from the south side, the west side and Pueblo West. District 60's high schools, among them Central, Centennial, East and South, are all in the city, and District 70 families at Pueblo County High School and Pueblo West High School are within reach too. For prom shoppers across southern Colorado, it is one of the long-running local options.
A LynDen Rose prom question from Pueblo
Will LynDen Rose alter a prom dress?
Yes. The shop has professional seamstresses in the store, and alterations are billed separately based on the work needed.
