Hablamos Su Idioma. The line sits near the top of Oh So Dressy's homepage, and it sets the tone for a Corona shop that serves Spanish-speaking families as easily as English-speaking ones. Prom is one of several big occasions the store dresses for, alongside sweet sixteens and quinceañeras, and the inventory reflects that mix.
The shop is on Northern Boulevard, up 103rd Street from the 7 train's 103rd Street stop. For students at Newtown High School in Elmhurst, Forest Hills High School, Flushing High School or Francis Lewis High School in Fresh Meadows, that makes it reachable by subway or bus rather than a weekend car trip.
What the racks hold
Prom dresses here come mainly from Clarisse, whose prom collection the store links from its homepage. Past the full prom gown, the store covers two more occasions.
Sweet sixteens and quinceañeras
Morilee, plus the extras that go with the dress
- Custom pillows to match the gown
- Teddy bear and doll dresses
- Mini sweet sixteen dresses
- Flower bouquets, or ramos
One note appears under almost every category on the site: next day delivery on special orders. When a size or color is not in the shop, the store can bring it in fast, which is a real help for a prom date that has crept up on the calendar.
Tuxedos and fittings at the same address
Oh So Dressy also rents tuxedos, so a prom couple can sort out both outfits in one place.

Alterations are handled on site. The website describes expert guidance on design, hems and measurements at the shop, and it invites customers to schedule a consultation, so a prom dress can be fitted without a second stop at a tailor. Bridal gowns from Clarisse and Dave & Johnny are part of the business too.
The testimonials on the homepage are short and warm. One shopper wrote that the staff were attentive and that the trip in from Westchester was worth it. For more prom options around downstate New York, see the state page.
The homepage pitch for the prom section is the store's own, and it closes this one out.
