Prom Dresses

Stars from all industries came together to celebrate Broadway at the 2016 Tony Awards a couple of weeks ago. The show was full of many laughs, some somber moments as stars stood in solidarity with Orlando, stunning performances, and beautiful red carpet looks, of course.

Last week, we showed you some of our favorite Faviana dresses that were on the 2016 Tonys red carpet, and this week we're going to show you two gorgeous ways to get similar celeb Tony dresses with Faviana look-a-likes. Read on to see two of our favorite looks of the night and how you can re-create them for your next formal event.

Sleek & Sexy

Silk was a popular dress choice for the Tony's red carpet, seen on actresses Jessica Lange, Keltie Knight, and Saycon Sengbloh. We especially loved the tend on Jourdan Dunn, though, who rocked a champagne pink Zac Posen gown.

For a similar champagne-colored silk look, go with Faviana 7755, one of our hottest sellers and perfect for any event from homecoming, to being a guest at a wedding, to a charity event, prom, or any other special occasion.  Continue reading →

So many girls sent us their gorgeous pictures from prom, and every girl couldn't have looked more beautiful in their Rissy Roo's dress! Over the course of 5 weeks, we chose our top 5 Prom Princesses: Alyssa Torres, Kate Lannon, Raquel Rothstein, Kayla Master, and Kailey Gober. And, this past week, it finally came down to voting on our 2016 Prom Queen.

From June 17th through June 27th, anyone could vote in our 2016 Prom Queen Contest Facebook Album on who would be (virtually) crowned our 2016 Prom Queen out of our five princesses. It was such a close contest that we thought it might come down to a tie! Alyssa gained 62 likes and loves on her photo, Kayla gained 121 likes and loves, Raquel gained 323 likes and loves, Kate gained 514 likes and loves, and Kailey gained 551 likes and loves.

So, with 551 likes and loves, we are so excited to announce that Kailey Gober is our 2016 Rissy Roo's Prom Queen! As our 2016 Prom Queen, Kaily wins a $100 gift certificate to RissyRoos.com.  Continue reading →

Our favorite dress designers can always be found on some of the most hotly anticipated red carpets, with the most recent sighting being Faviana on the 2016 Tony Awards red carpet. The 70th Annual Tony Awards was held on June 12, and Joelle Garguilo and Donna Karger were reporting straight from the red carpet to show off all of the hottest celebrity dresses. Of course, if they are reporting on celeb looks, they have to be dressed to impress, as well. So, the two reporters wowed the crowds themselves in Faviana dresses. Read on to see what they wore!

New York Live's reporter and producer, Joelle Garguilo, looked sultry in Faviana 7755, one of our hottest sellers. The plunging v-neck on this faille satin dress ads the perfect amount of allure to an otherwise simplistic and classic design, making it so perfect for just about any occasion. Whether homecoming, guest of a wedding, a charity event, or the red carpet, this style is classic and classy. The front is draped, which adds texture to the full length skirt, a high slit reveals a tantalizing touch of skin, and the back is adorned with thin straps and ruching in a manner that provides a slimming effect, flattering the figure in all the right spots.

You can see Joelle in action on the Tony's red carpet in the below video. She opened up her segment by mentioning that all eyes are on the musical Hamilton, but our eyes were on her in that gorgeous Faviana dress!  Continue reading →

It's finally down to only one 2016 Prom Princess spot left. It was such a hard choice - every single girl looked gorgeous in their prom dress, and we loved all of the testimonials! But, it ultimately came down to only being able to choose one more Prom Princess. So, without further adieu, we're excited to announce that our fifth and final Prom Princess is Kailey Gober!

We are obsessed with her gorgeous prom look, in Sherri Hill 50333! The black dress with pink and red accenting couldn't be more stunning, and we love that her date matched the style of the dress with his suit and boutonniere. Floral perfection!

When Kailey entered our Prom Queen Contest, she shared this message:

"I can't thank Rissy Roo's enough for finding my perfect gown! I want Sherri Hill and no one in my area carries it! I wanted something totally different from everyone's strictly beaded gowns my school wears. My mom found Rissy Roo's online and emailed the store. Marissa helped her with two dresses and emailed when the one I wanted became available. The ordering was easy, shipping was fast, and the customer service was wonderful. I can't wait to shop for next year's prom! Thank you Rissy Roo's for making my prom perfect!"

As a Prom Princess, Kailey won a $50 gift certificate to RissyRoos.com, and she'll also get to compete starting today in the final stage of our contest - to be crowned our 2016 Prom Queen! Everyone can vote for our Prom Queen on our Facebook page from 6/17 - 6/27. Just visit our "VOTE: 2016 Rissy Roo's Prom Queen Contest" Facebook Photo Album and get voting. The girl with the most "likes" and "loves" on their photo will be announced our Prom Queen on June 28, 2016 and will win a $100 gift certificate to RissyRoos.com!

Thank you so much to all who entered our contest, and good luck to our Prom Princesses as they compete to wear our 2016 Prom Queen crown!

So far our first, Alyssa Torres, and second, Kate Lannon, 2016 Prom Princesses have been announced, and on Friday, June 3rd, it was time to choose our third prom princess for our 2016 Prom Queen Contest. We're excited to announce that our third Prom Princess is Raquel Rothstein!

Raquel looked so stunning in her dress, Faviana 7573, a black jersey gown with stand-out white accents. We loved how she topped her look off with red lipstick and a red bouquet. It was a perfect classic look combining colors red, white, and black, with the design of her gown giving the colors a modern twist.

When Raquel entered our Prom Queen Contest, she shared this message:

"Going into Rissy's for the first time to look for my prom dress, I was both nervous and excited. The staff made it the best experience while shopping for my dress. They were fun and excited for me. The minute I tried on this dress, I knew it was the one. This dress was perfect for me. I can't thank the staff of Rissy Roo's enough for making prom the best night of my life!"

As a Prom Princess, Raquel won a $50 gift certificate to RissyRoos.com, and she'll also get to compete starting June 17th in the final stage of our contest - to be crowned our 2016 Prom Queen! There are two Prom Princess spots left, which will be picked this coming Friday and the following Friday, so keep a look-out! You'll be able to start voting on the Prom Queen on our Facebook page starting on June 17, 2016. The Prom Queen will win a $100 gift certificate to Rissy Roo's.

If you purchased a Rissy Roo's prom dress this year, there's still time to enter for one of the final two Prom Princess spots. Just head over to our 2016 Prom Queen Contest page for more information on the contest and how to enter.

Just a week ago now, we announced our very first 2016 Prom Princess for our 2016 Prom Queen Contest, Alyssa Torres. Another week has gone by, and we recently announced our second 2016 Prom Princess this past Friday, May 27th. We're excited to announce that our second 2016 Prom Princess is Kate Lannon!

We loved Kate's elegant prom style. The neutral colors that Kate and her date chose let the sparkly top of her dress, her chandelier earrings, and the pretty bouquet and boutonniere take the spotlights. A stunning matching couple!

Kate's dress was created by dress designer Mori Lee. It's a dress that has since been discontinued.

Kate's mom shared Kate's prom pictures and a nice message with us back in April, but when Kate entered our Prom Queen Contest, she had a message of her own to share:

"Huge Rissy Roo's fan...It was love at first sight. I had a fairytale night in my gorgeous princess dress. The staff was fantastic and knew just what I was looking for. Can't wait to go back for Homecoming and Senior Prom! LOVE LOVE LOVE Rissy Roo's. I love being a Roogirl."

As a Prom Princess, Kate won a $50 gift certificate to RissyRoos.com, and she'll also get to compete in June for the the final stage of our contest: to be crowned our 2016 Prom Queen! Keep a look-out to see who our final Prom Princesses are (there are still three spots left!), and you'll be able to start voting on the Prom Queen on June 17th on our Facebook page. The Prom Queen will win a $100 gift certificate to Rissy Roo's.

If you purchased a Rissy Roo's prom dress this year and want to enter yourself, there's still time! Check out our 2016 Prom Queen Contest page for full details on the contest and how to enter.

Our 2016 Rissy Roo's Prom Queen Contest is in full swing, and this past Friday (May 20th), we chose our very first weekly winner, better known as a Prom Princess. We're happy and excited to announce that our first Prom Princess is the beautiful Alyssa Torres!

Alyssa won a $50 gift certificate to RissyRoos.com, and will also be in the running in June to become our 2016 Rissy Roo's Prom Queen to win the grand prize of a $100 gift certificate.

We chose Alyssa because we loved how she rocked the color red throughout her entire prom look, from the prom dress, to her lipstick, to the pretty bouquet. It's a bold color, and she wore it with such style. The pretty red prom dress that Alyssa chose is Mac Duggal 65435A. It's a striking two piece prom dress with a top that features a sweetheart neckline and illusion netting that clasps together in the back.

Here's what Alyssa had to say about her prom dress:

"I purchased this red two-piece prom dress in March for my senior prom on May 6th. I have worn a Rissy Roo's dress for my past 3 formals. I could not have been more happy with my dress, I loved it!! Thank you ladies for helping me find a dress I loved yet again!"

We're so glad you loved your prom dress so much, Alyssa! Congrats on becoming our first Prom Princess, and good luck come June in the final part of our Prom Queen Contest!

A couple of days ago we announced our 2016 Prom Queen Contest, and now it's time to see more of our Roo Girl's prom pictures and read their prom dress testimonials. Today, the prom testimonial comes from customer Grace Otley. She purchased her dress months ago for prom, so she was all ready to go for her big day, and it finally came last Friday.

Grace sent us her pictures this week, and said:

"Finally got to wear the dress I got from your store a couple of months ago to my prom this past Friday! Was a hit! Thank you, I love the dress!"

Grace looked so gorgeous! She chose the stylish JVN by Jovani JVN33956. It's a sexy two-piece form fitting dress that features a halter crystal embellished top with a sheer panel and a jersey skirt with cascading crystals along the backside. You can see the stunning back of this dress in the picture below, where Grace and her two friends pose to show off the sexy back of their prom looks.  Continue reading →
