BOOM BABIES is a SAFE SPACE We believe that everyone deserves to have a memorable and fun dress shopping experience. Our staff is here to help you find the dress of your dreams, regardless of your identity, race, ability, or sexuality. Above all else, we stand for inclusivity and making sure our customers feel safe and welcomed. Please feel free to call us if you have any special requests or requirements.
DRESS REGISTRY Through our dress registry, we will not sell the same dress in the same color to the same dance. Your stylist will check the registry for your school before you try anything on to ensure that your selected dresses are not already registered to your dance.
LAYAWAY POLICY A minimum of 30% of the final total is required for a down payment. You will have two weeks to pay off the final amount. All items on layaway are final sale– no refunds, returns, or exchanges. Should you decide you no longer wish to purchase the dress, your deposit is nonrefundable and nontransferable.
MUST BE 18+ OR HAVE PARENT/GUARDIAN’S PERMISSION TO PURCHASE If a parent or guardian is unable to attend the dress fitting, your stylist must speak with them on the phone prior to purchasing a dress. All of our gowns are final sale– no refunds, returns, or exchanges. Because of this, we have a contract that needs to be signed at the time of purchase. Only individuals who are 18 years or older or whose parent/guardian has given verbal consent will be allowed to make formalwear purchases.
WHEN SHOULD I MAKE MY APPOINTMENT? Although you are able to make same-day appointments through our website or via phone call, we recommend booking about a week in advance. Appointments tend to book up quickly, especially for weekend slots. If you prefer a more relaxed environment, we recommend making an appointment for a weekday. Weekends and school break weeks are our busiest periods. Have any questions? Feel free to contact us!
WHO SHOULD I BRING WITH ME? Due to limited space, we allow individuals with an appointment to bring two guests only with them. Please note that gentlemen will not be permitted to sit near the fitting rooms to ensure the safety and comfortability of those who are trying on dresses.
SIZING All formalwear companies’ sizes run slightly different. Therefore, we ask that you remain open to the size suggestions provided by our stylists. We carry sizes 000 through a 26W. Individuals of all shapes and sizes are welcome here!
ALTERATIONS It is highly likely that the dress you purchase will need alterations. Although we do not offer alteration services at our store, we can provide you with a list of seamstresses we recommend. Please consider that alterations take time, and seamstresses can get booked up quickly. We recommend making an appointment at least two months prior to your event. However, we are ready to work with you no matter your time constraints!
ACCESSORIES We have a wide selection of jewelry, formal shoes, clutches, belts, and more. With the purchase of a dress, you will receive 20% off all formal accessories up until the day of your event. Let us know you got your dress with us and we will still honor the discount!
THE PROCESS When you enter our store, you will be greeted by a hostess who will either check you in for your appointment, or get you registered as a walk-in. Please note that appointments take priority. Therefore, the wait for a dress fitting as a walk-in could be substantial. We always recommend making an appointment prior to coming in. Once you get checked in, one of our stylists will help size you and point you in the right direction as far as what sort of dress you have in mind. Not sure what kind of dress you’re looking for? No worries! That’s what we’re here for. Our stylists will continue to pull dresses for you and gauge your interest. You will begin trying on once you have a maximum of 6 dresses to start. Your stylist will then check all of the dresses for your school’s registry (see above). As you try on dresses, one of our seasoned stylists will continue to work with you throughout the appointment and bring more dresses to you based on what you are liking or not liking.
Our appointments last for one hour. When your hour is up, if you feel as though you need more time to decide, come see us at the front desk! We can schedule another appointment for you.
WE DO NOT HAVE A PUBLIC RESTROOM We have an ongoing agreement with Recess Coffee (across the street) which allows our customers to use their restroom. No purchase necessary!
