Prom is a very special event in every young adult’s life. Make the night even more memorable by finding that perfect outfit - the one that you’ll always remember when you look back fondly on high school. If your classmates are jealous of your fashion sense, well, that’s just a bonus.
Gemini Bridal carries more than 20 brands of dresses in sizes 0 to 30 in their massive store (which has 22 dressing rooms!).

This western Canada brand features fashionable dresses for special occasions, including prom. They specialize in carrying labels created by Canadian designers, such as Joseph Ribkoff, Simon Chang, Tonia Debellis and Frank Lyman Design. Their in-house designer, Vivian Wong, studied fashion design in Paris, and brings that European sense of flair to all of her designs. Whether you go for a stunning one-shoulder royal blue gown or a short crimson dress, you'll look as stylish as you feel.
If you prefer a shorter dress to a floor-length ensemble, BCBG may be the perfect place to find your dream gown. They carry flashy, gorgeous cocktail dresses in a rainbow of colours. There’s also the option of choosing one of their asymmetrical gowns, with a longer train in the back and a shorter cut in the front – the mullet of party dresses. If their dresses are a bit racy for your school dress code, think about adding a cool jacket or wrap to your outfit.
This well-known store has locations across the country and has become a trusted name in formal wear. Their South Edmonton Common location is massive, with a huge selection of dresses in every colour of the rainbow. Whether you want a short, floor-length, strapless, halter or one-shoulder dress, you'll be able to find it. They even carry the exclusive White by Vera Wang line. Can’t quite afford that prom dress you have your eye on? They are pleased to offer a special layaway plan, so you can pay for your dress over the next 60 days.
In addition to carrying wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses, this store also has grad gowns. They carry brands such as Terani Prom and Rachel Allen, plus a variety of lines from the brand Tony Bowls, including the evenings and gala collections. If you can't find the dress of your dreams in the grad dress section, you can always take a peek at the bridesmaids dresses, many of which are perfect for prom. If you can't make it into the store to try on dresses in person, you can check out their selection of prom dresses online.
Who says your grad dress needs to come from a store specific to prom dresses? In addition to everyday clothing, Le Chateau also sells formal dresses, some of which are perfect for graduation.

You’ll find everything from pretty mesh dresses with sweetheart necklines to sparkling knit V-neck gowns. They even carry dramatic lace halter gowns embellished with jewels. If you can’t find your favourite cut or size in store, check online.
