While David’s Bridal may have earned its reputation from its wedding dresses, it remains one of my Des Moines favorites when it comes to homecoming dresses. The sales associates know exactly what it takes to create the perfect look for your homecoming. They will help you shop across styles so you can find the option that is perfect for your event. You can choose from long gowns and short cocktail dresses that make you feel like yourself. Whether you’re the type of person who loves to keep it sleek and clean or you prefer all the sparkles and glitter, they have just the thing!

If you would prefer to shop locally, you have to check out Bridal Connection. Don’t let the name fool you; this Des Moines shop has tons of dresses for prom and homecoming! They offer appointments, so you can take your time trying on tons of options. While they do have tons of simpler options, including solid-colored floor-length gowns, they have one of the best selections of sparkly and frilly dresses you are going to absolutely love. Whether you are in your Lover era or prefer something a little more Speak Now, they have you covered! They also have a fabulous collection of plus-sized options.
