Mario Pucci is a Boca Raton women's boutique first. Walk in and you see sportswear, denim, Hale Bob and Trina Turk dresses, and a long run of shoes. The prom gowns live in the evening department, which the store calls The Dress Shop. The gown, the heels and the earrings can all come from the same counter on Yamato Road.
The store has been family owned and operated since at least 2006, and it sums up the evening side well.
We pride ourselves on customer service and delivering you high quality evening wear for all your special occasions.
Inside The Dress Shop, Jovani, Sherri Hill and more
The boutique names four evening labels among its brands, Jovani, Sherri Hill, Terani Couture and Atria. For The Dress Shop, the store goes further. It names eleven evening designers, Jovani Fashions, Sherri Hill, Terani Couture, Daymor Couture, Mon Cheri, Colors Dress, Elana Knits, Atria, Nicole Bakti, Badgley Mischka and Joseph Ribkoff Signature, "and many more," and it tells shoppers to discover more designers and styles at the Boca Raton store.
The store asks shoppers to contact the Boca Raton store to see whether an item is on hand. Gown specialists can help with a different size or color, or with a special order and future deliveries.
Final sale and alterations
Two lines in the policy matter most for prom. All evening wear is final sale, along with bags, jewelry and accessories. And the store is upfront about fit. "Alterations are inevitable for ALL dresses," the policy says, adding that dresses need alterations to achieve the perfect fit.
The same policy reminds buyers that each gown is hand-finished, so beading, fabric and color can vary slightly from the photos.
Shoes, clutches and jewelry for the gown
The evening department has its own evening shoes section, and the wider shoe floor includes lines such as Jeffrey Campbell, Ron White, Vaneli and Lola Cruz. Handbags, belts, scarves and jewelry are stocked too.
The store carries dresses for mothers of the bride and groom, including Jovani's mother of the bride collection. Younger sisters get a rack of their own. Jovani Kids dresses are sold for bat mitzvah looks.
