Hey Royals! Winter Formal is just around the corner on Jan. 21. There is only a limited time to buy your dress, so we decided to help you out. Here are our recommendations of some trustworthy and non-trustworthy sites and stores to help you find the perfect dress.

WINDSOR (Online and In-store)

Windsor is a great source if you are looking for a dress ahead of time or even last minute. They have great options, from more simplistic dresses to super sparkly dresses. However, since Windsor is a great option, many people go there, and someone might show up in the same dress as you. We recommend you take your time looking, whether it’s online or in stores, and shop closely for your perfect dress.

HELLO MOLLY (Online)

Although we haven’t bought anything from this store, we’ve heard great things. Emma Oskorus ’23 said, “I like Hello Molly because they have really cute clothes, and they come in really fast. So far, they haven’t let me down.”

LUCY IN THE SKY (Online)

While Lucy in the Sky has very cute and affordable dresses, they are ultimately unreliable. Many girls have lost their dresses in the shipping process, or some have ordered their dresses but didn’t receive their package at all. Overall, Lucy in the Sky is an untrustworthy site.

REVOLVE (Online)

For those with more expensive tastes, an option for you is REVOLVE. This store has the most adorable dresses with very high quality. We are not sure about their shipping reliability, but avid customer Emma Oskorus says her dresses always arrive fast from REVOLVE. So you can choose to test your luck with this site.

PRINCESS POLLY (Online)

This dress shop truly has the most fashionable and affordable dresses. It not only has great pricing, but it also has pretty good quality for an online source. Kathleen Martinez ’23 said, “Every time I receive a package, it is always on time and in great quality. I have used this site for birthday dresses and dance dresses.  So far, Princess Polly has been a reliable source.”

SELFIE LESLIE (Online)

Selfie Leslie is an online shop with many options for any dance you need. Kathleen purchased a few dresses on their site, but has mixed feelings about Selfie Leslie.

Kathleen said, “Two dresses I ordered were perfect and identical to the photos online. But one time I received a dress that did not look like the photo at all. My advice is to check the reviews before ordering.”

Overall, we hope these sites help you with all your future dress shopping. Also, remember to order as soon as possible because many unique styles sell out fast, and shipping can take some time. So, with all this in mind, good luck finding the perfect dress. We cannot wait to see you look stunning at winter formal.
