Some Final Tips: Why shop in store vs online?
1. Prom and Bridal gowns are two of the most important purchases you will make. Enjoy the ease of shopping in store, with over 20,000 dresses sizes 000-36 at your fingertips. You will have a trained sales associate who knows our inventory and so often will pick just the right dress for you. Dresses are in store to try on and you will have a sales consultant to assist, guide you, and answer any questions you may have. You can pay in full and take home today or use our layaway plan.
2. You can spend hours scrolling online through dresses just to find out that the dress you select isn’t available or the dress you order comes in and it doesn’t fit or the quality isn’t what you envisioned. Colors online may not be the same color as the actual dress. Then you are stuck with the hassle of returning the dress and starting over. Online inventories with every store, every manufacturer are often not accurate.
Why not just shop at our store for the Ultimate Experience!
3. If you are only able to shop online, shop The Ultimate. With us, you know you are working with an authorized retailer and we update our customers same day about availability. Many online retailers do not.
4. Looking for shoes or accessories, we can coordinate with your dress from our extensive in store selection.
5. We have been in business for 55 years and work closely with all of the leading designers and you will be sure to receive an authentic gown. Sadly, there are a lot of scams out there. Please be aware!
We look forward to seeing you in our store very soon. We very much appreciate that you have chosen to shop at
The Ultimate – where dress dreams do come true.
