Much of Wyoming lives a long drive from a prom shop

Where the shops are
Draw a line from Casper up through Gillette to Sheridan and you have traced every prom shop on this site in the state. The three stores sit in a loose triangle in the north-central part of the map. Gillette and Sheridan are about 80 miles apart in a straight line. Casper's closest neighbor is Gillette, a little over 100. Past that triangle the gaps get long.

The south end of the state is a different story. Cheyenne and Laramie families have a shorter run across the line, where the Colorado prom dress stores start at Dora Grace Bridal in Fort Collins, about 43 miles from Cheyenne, and continue down to Mimi's Prom Denver. Rock Springs sits a bit closer to the Wasatch Front than to Casper.

Questions people ask
How far is the nearest prom shop if I live in Cheyenne or Rock Springs?
Far. Cheyenne sits roughly 140 straight-line miles from Christina's in Casper, and the highway adds to that. Rock Springs is about 170 from Casper. Jackson is farther still. None of the three shops is close to the southern or western edge of the state, so a family there should treat the trip as a full Saturday and plan it once, not three times. Pick the shop whose model fits before you leave the driveway.
Which of the three suits a single long drive best?
Bash.Co, if you want to come home with the dress. Its prom floor is stock only, priced from $150 to $600, and the gown leaves with you the same afternoon. There is no second trip for a delivery. Christina's is the better pick if you want the widest try-on, since it keeps hundreds of dresses in the building and also special orders. Once Upon A Story orders many prom gowns through its featured vendors, which means a return visit for the fitting, but that fitting costs nothing when the dress was bought there.
Is it worth starting early when the shops are this spread out?
Yes. Bash.Co has named Prom Ambassadors in early February, and those girls get first pick of the inventory. Because a sold style is pulled for that school's dance, a late March visit from 100 miles away can mean fewer gowns to choose from. Gillette shoppers start before spring break. You should too.
How do I match my date's vest or tie to the dress?
Book the tux where you buy the gown. All three shops rent menswear on site, so the dress and the vest can be compared under the same lights. At Christina's the rental side is Crown Formalwear, which has worked out of the store since 1987 and stocks Larr Brio vests. Bash.Co and Once Upon A Story both rent through Jim's Formal Wear, and Bash.Co lets a date rent the jacket, vest and tie separately if he already owns black pants. Shop color in person rather than off a phone screen. A navy gown and a navy vest can look like strangers once they meet. Bash.Co suggests getting measured about three months out, so lock the dress first and book the tux right after.
