Who Has the Best Prom Dresses, Tuxes and Suits?

It's full-on prom season and Patch wants to know which local places are the best when it comes time to look for prom dresses, tuxedos and suits. Vote in our poll, rate and review stores, and leave comments to help people make their choices this

 

Prom means fancy clothes, girls dressed bright as butterflies, and guys looking for ways to make their tux stand out in a crowd. If you're looking for prom attire, where do you turn? 

In one of our largest Readers' Choice segments yet, we're looking at businesses in Brookfield, Wauwatosa, Waukesha, Menomonee Falls, Sussex and Muskego.

Tell us your favorite local spots by voting in the poll, leaving comments below, and by rating and reviewing local businesses on their Patch directory pages. Voting begins at 5 am Monday and is open until 9 am Friday. The winner of the Readers' Choice competition for the best place to buy a prom dress, rent a tux or buy a suit will be decided by Patch editors, based on poll votes, ratings and reviews, and by comments on this story. Please vote only once per survey, per patch.

Another popular store for prom dresses is DEB at Southridge. A lot of teens go there for prom dresses and they are moderately priced. And don't forget Craig's List. My granddaughter found a "worn once" $450 Mori Lee for $150. Can't beat that....

We are actually running several Readers' Choice polls in the southeastern Wisconsin area. This one is grouped with other sites in the Waukesha County area (and Wauwatosa). However, Debs is included in the Greendale/Greenfield area Patch sites, so if you want to vote for them, you can check out this story here http://greendale.patch.com/articles/who-has-the-best-prom-dresses-tuxes-and-suits-3106b7dd

My daughter found a dress at David's Bridal a few years ago. It was on clearance and a fraction of the price she would've paid at one of the mall stores. And it was a very classy dress!

New store at Brookfield Square: Tiger Lily. They carry prom dresses and can give the other mall stores some competition!

I'm so surprised no one mentioned Amelishan Bridal for prom dresses and tuxedo rental. They are HUGE!!! They're actually running a Blowout prom dress sale right now. Their dresses start at $49. The store is packed with dresses-my Goddaughter and all her friends found their dresses there!

I agree, this is the best place for any special occasion dresses, such as weddings, as well,
