Auburn Hills has one address that pulls shoppers from four or five school districts at once, and Camille La Vie has a storefront inside it. The store sits in District 3 of Great Lakes Crossing Outlets, near Burlington, which is the kind of direction that saves a lap around the mall's long loop. For prom season that placement does real work. Parents from Clarkston, Lake Orion, Rochester Hills, Bloomfield and Pontiac already know the exits, the parking fields and which entrance gets them closest to the stores they want.
The company behind it launched Camille La Vie in 1985, and this location carries the chain's own label rather than a wall of outside designer names. That shapes how a visit goes. Styles you see online at camillelavie.com are the same family of dresses hanging on the racks here, so a student can shortlist a few numbers on her phone in study hall and try them that weekend in north Oakland County, Michigan.
What the Auburn Hills store stocks for prom
The location page lists prom first, then homecoming, cocktail and evening dresses, quinceañera gowns, wedding-guest looks and bridesmaids. On the website the prom side is split the way students tend to shop it:
- long gowns and short prom dresses
- ball gowns and mermaid silhouettes
- petite prom dresses, cut for shoppers around 5'4" and under
- plus-size prom dresses
- shoes, handbags and jewelry to pair with the gown
The petite cut deserves a sentence of its own. Camille La Vie explains that its petite lengths run shorter from hollow to hem and that the bodice proportions change too, from shoulder to bust and bust to waist. For a shorter sophomore going to her first prom, that can mean less hemming later.
Prom shoppers do not have to book a time slot. The chain's FAQ draws the line between the dress floor and the bridal salon in one sentence.
No appointments are necessary to shop and try prom, homecoming, or evening dresses.
Bridal is the exception, since this store does have a bridal salon and those try-ons are booked by calling the location. For prom, a Tuesday after school works as well as a Saturday.
Schools that shop Great Lakes Crossing
Avondale High School is the local public high school in Auburn Hills, and Pontiac High School is a few miles southwest. Lake Orion High School is up M-24 and Clarkston High School sits off I-75 to the northwest, while Rochester Adams and Stoney Creek in Rochester Community Schools are a quick run east on Walton or University. Most of those families have been to Great Lakes Crossing for something else already, so the store is rarely a new address to anyone.
The website keeps a running Prom Picks page for the 2026 season, and it is a sensible place to start a list. Bring the style numbers in with you and the floor team can pull what the store has in your size.
Shopping Camille La Vie in Auburn Hills
Can I exchange a dress I ordered online at this store?
Camille La Vie suggests that online shoppers can complete an exchange at a store location, and it asks you to call the store first so the team expects you. Exchanges follow the chain's 14-day window for unworn dresses with tags attached.
Does the Auburn Hills location carry petite and plus prom sizes?
The chain cuts both petite and plus-size prom dresses. Stock varies by store, so ask the Great Lakes Crossing team which sizes are on the racks before you make the drive.
