Homecoming season is in full swing, leaving many girls to start purging the stores in search of outfits. Here is a guide for where to find homecoming dresses.
The ever-popular store, Windsor, is one of our top picks. Its nearest location to Steinbrenner High School is in the Citrus Park Mall, and the store is notorious for its affordable prices and vast selection. However, this store is popular, and can be busy and crowded, leaving the selection to be few and far between.
Another common, yet underrated store is Dillard’s. Unlike its metaphorical cousin, JCPenney, Dillard’s holds homecoming dresses, and tons of them at that.
Similar to Windsor, Dillard’s also has decent prices, but for dresses of a higher quality. Another factor to note is the size of the dressing rooms. Dress shopping is occasionally a collaborative task, and many people find it fun to try on outfits together. The size of dressing rooms in Dillard’s were large enough for multiple people and their articles of clothing.
In addition to other department stores, Macy’s stores also carry dresses. They have an online store as well as their numerous in-person locations, making them a convenient place to shop. On the other hand, Macy’s dresses can be expensive in comparison to the other stores mentioned in this article.
For some people, entering a physical building can be stressful and downright inconvenient, so online shopping is a helpful alternative. In other cases, people would frequent the stores and not find any dresses that they liked.
The exclusively online store, Lucy in the Sky, is a good solution for these situations. They have plenty of cute and trendy dresses, although they are short, and some may not be appropriate for a school sanctioned event. Another downside is that there are no in-store locations, but as was already touched upon this may not be such a bad thing.
Each person prefers a different shopping experience, and every store is unique. Essentially, the decision is up to the customer, and these are a few top picks of where to find homecoming dresses.
