What the prom racks hold
The store says it has "TONS of dresses," from Jovani to Sherri Hill and many more. The labels it names make a short, strong list:
- Sherri Hill
- Jovani and its younger line, JVN by Jovani
- Amarra
- Mori Lee, listed with the prom collection
New gowns come in weekly, and the store suggests reserving your dress by phone before someone else does.
