Testimonials

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.

We've shown you so may of our gorgeous Roo Girls in their prom dresses, and now it's time to see one of our younger Roo Girls in her 8th grade dance dress! Ronnise White recently sent us beautiful photos of her daughter, Aliyah White, in the dress she chose for her formal 8th grade class night, and she looks so sweet!

When Ronnise sent us the photos, she said:

"We loved the dress!!!! Will definitely be back for our next occasion."

The dress Aliyah wore is Hannah S style 27068, a super chic formal cocktail dress. This romantic design has a box-pleated A-line lace print skirt with side pockets (yas!), jewel-covered illusion choker and deep sweetheart neckline, a beaded waistband, and an open back. It's a dress that's meant for those warm spring and summer months, and we loved that Aliyah's date rocked the same colors in his suit. The pair looked perfect together!

Not only did we love Aliyah's (and her date's) look, but we loved how Aliyah accessorized her dress. Her sparkly heels, jeweled bracelet, and purple corsage were the perfect accents to her 8th grade dance dress.

We hope you had a wonderful time at your dance, Aliyah, and we can't wait to help you find dresses for your high school dances in the future!

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 →

The gorgeous pictures from our Roo Girls in their prom dresses continue! Earlier this week, we showed you Brett Emery's elegant, yet flirty look, and today we're writing to show you Lily Hogan's prom dress. Lily's mom, Rene' Yelich-Hogan has been in contact with us ever since they purchased Lily's dress.

Rene' and Lily are from Millville, NJ, so they visited our store in Linwood, New Jersey back in February and shared such kind words with us:

"Thank you so much for a wonderful experience yesterday! We popped in just to look and 2 hours of some of the BEST customer service I have ever experienced later we found THE dress for her prom. Thank you for making my daughter feel special!"

Lily finally attended her prom in April this year, so Rene' was kind enough to follow-up with pictures of Lily in her prom dress, and said:

"Thank you for making my girl feel like a million dollars! See ya next year!"

Lily chose La Femme style 21565 as her dress, and it couldn't have fit her more perfectly. La Femme 21565 is an enchanting net mermaid gown that features cascading lace applique and a modest train. The gown also features a sheer bodice with a fitted short skirt and a keyhole back. It's a perfect way to show of some skin in an elegant way, and Lily certainly did that stunningly!  Continue reading →

A couple of weeks ago, we shared Christa Abbate's prom dress testimonial, and now we have another prom dress testimonial to share with you from one of our Roo Girls who recently attended her dance. Brett Emery and her mom, Kris, from Knoxville, Tennessee purchased Brett's prom dress back in March, and Brett finally got all dolled up in her prom dress for her big night. Check out what she wore below and the kind words that Kris shared with us!

"Thank you again for all of your help. Prom was a huge success. My daughter received a lot of wonderful comments on the dress."

-Kris Emery, Brett's mom

Brett chose to wear Rachel Allan style 7111, a perfect dress to show off your amazing style and taste. The strapless floral printed ball gown features a lace bodice that sits on top of an amazing pleated ball gown skirt. It even features hidden side pockets!  Continue reading →

It's time to see more of our gorgeous Roo Girls all dressed up in their Rissy Roo's dresses for prom! The latest comes from Roo Girl Christa Abbate, who recently sent us a picture all dressed up in her prom dress, accompanied by such a nice note that we're gushing so much. She chose a really unique La Femme prom dress that you definitely won't want to miss out on seeing. Check out what she had to say and her photo below!

"I live in Colorado, the dress shops here in town were unable to help my order the La Femme dress I was in love with. I was worried about having to order online but after checking the La Femme site and realizing Rissyroos was an authorized retailer and legit, I felt better about my purchase. I also love the fact that rissyroos is a REAL store and not some sketchy online companies that are out there! I am so pleased with your customer service and how my dream dress was delivered to me within a few days! I will definitely use rissyroos again and thank you so much for helping me when the Colorado stores were unable too. I got so many compliments on my dress at my event!"

-Christa Abbate

Aweee! Thanks for sharing such kind words with us, Christa! We're happy to hear that you had such a great experience shopping at RissyRoos.com.

That gorgeous, colorful floral dress that Christa is wearing is La Femme 22820. This beautiful floral printed dress is a mermaid gown that features a sweetheart neckline. The multi-colored dress will surely have all eyes on your, and the mermaid gown style hugs your curves perfectly.  Continue reading →
