YES…there really is an Estelle!

     If you've never heard of her, we're surprised. After all, we are celebrating our 27th anniversary. Since she founded  Dressy Dresses in 1992, it's become one of America's largest retailers of dressy dresses, as well as one of the largest female-operated businesses in the metropolitan area. If you haven't been there, you've got to go! You have no idea what you're missing.

     What began as one woman's modest venture — a single rack of clothes in rented space within a Farmingdale warehouse — in just over 2 decades has exploded into a "mega-business", encompassing some 37,000 square feet. That's larger than a football field! And what you'll find inside is even more exciting than the Super Bowl…an unparalleled selection of dressy dresses; gowns for brides, their mothers, and wedding party members; clothes for children; accessories, including designer handbags; and shoes. You really must see our amazing newly-renovated shoe, bag, jewelry and accessories departments. 

But the best part of shopping at  is being able to get all our high-quality clothing and accessories at competitive prices. Everything we offer is available in a wide range of sizes, from petite to plus sizes, so you're never disappointed that what you desire doesn't come in your size.

     However, as great as the quality and affordability of our clothing and accessories are, what really keeps people coming back is the family-style approach we take to caring for all our customers. No matter what's going on or how busy things get, a member of our family is always close by to help when you need. Of course, there's Estelle, who manages our store's day-to-day operations. Her daughter Robin is the company administrator, and sons Glenn and Craig serve as fashion, merchandising, and computer software consultants.
