Absolutely love this store! Makes me all giddy when looking through all the beautiful dresses. Norma Reed is located inside Fairview Mall on the main level, next to Sears. The manikins on the display windows always lure me into the store - with all those sparkly, glittery jewels and gemstones :D
Almost graduation / prom season, I'd say this is a GREAT place to find your perfect dress. Even dresses for bridesmaids, or even an evening gown for a special occasion, Norma Reed can offer the same style in MANY, MANY different colours *claps claps claps* XD The store also offers accessories from earrings to necklaces, clutches to shawls of every colour ;)
I was there today randomly browsing (yes, the manikins lured me in alright lol.) and I ended up making a few purchases. BTW, most of the dresses are on sale, and they have styles you don't usually find out there. Love, love, love the unique, one-of-a-kinds! They also kindly offer alternations for $30.
Some of the dresses can be a bit over the top (too blingy for me!) But hey, everyone has different taste. Just take some time, try them on, and listen to helpful advises from the staff :) The staff can be a bit chit-chatty among themselves (minus 1 star), but at least it gives you some alone time to figure out what you want, rather than being right behind your back all the time!
Have fun shopping for your perfect dress :)
I will definitely come back for more!
