Went there today to find my grad dress, and overall had a pretty good experience (good atmosphere, lots of selection, decent music, found a dress which didn't hurt, etc.) but upon going into the fitting room was surprised to see there was no mirror. Which I guess is fine, unless you're going alone and would like to not step out of the change room.
Also what I didn't realize was that grad dresses/prom dresses can not be ordered in advance, but you have to find your size and hope it works for you. Of course they do alterations, but you would generally be buying it 'as-is' which can cut out a lot off dress selection if your size is sold out. I found my dress completely by fluke (as there were only 2 dresses in my size and luckily they were true to fit).
I defiantly recommend checking out David's Bridal, but don't wait last minute (like me), and make sure to plan to visit a few other formal-wear places to get as many options as possible. This would be a good first-step, to get a feel for what you're interested in.
