Boom Babies

I came in to look for a dress for a school dance last week and was surprised at the big selection! The girls working there were very helpful, I was assisted by one in particular but was offered help by a few others. I tried on a variety of dresses: beaded, flowy, poofy..., slim fitting...I went with a blue beaded dress that I LOVE! The girl assisting me then continued to help me as I found shoes and we discussed how I should wear my hair. It was a great experience, this is definently a one stop shopping place! I came in with just an idea and didnt expect to walk out confidently with a beautiful ensamble! Read More

I was visiting SU from CT for an open house a couple weeks ago and was told about Boom Babies. I decided to stop in and take a look at their prom dresses. For a small store, they have a ton of dresses!!! All the girls working there were very helpful and got me dresses i...n my size which I had been having trouble finding in other stores (I'm a 0). I went in wanting a leopard print dress and ended up falling in love with a high-low beaded dress. The dress is amazing!!! Even though I'm from out of state, they still keep a prom registry so no one from your school can get your dress! I will certainly be back to Boom Babies and it def will help me make my decision as to where to go to college :) Read More

I have recently been searching for the perfect prom dress; my first stop was Spy Babies. I was met with zero help from the people who work there and hardly a selection. My mom and I left shortly after entering and went straight to Boom Babies. I was met with thousands o...f dresses to choose from and the best customer service i have ever experienced. All of the employees seemed busy but always made time to answer my questions and help me pick out the perfect dress. I can hardly wait to show it off at prom, this is the go to place!!! Read More

I had heard about this store from a friend who loved it. A few weeks ago she and I were out shopping for a new wardrobe (I've recently lost about 75 lbs.). We walked in and one of the girls working there came up and said, "oh, hon you don't belong here. We don't have... anything for someone your size." The other girl (I don't know if she was a customer or another employee) just laughed. HORRIBLE PEOPLE SKILLS!!! not to mention customer service. I will not (!!!!) recommend this store to anyone!

We started out looking in the malls between the Canadian border and Syracuse. We had no luck anywhere. The employees at the at least 15 other stores we had went to kept telling us to go to Boom Babies. The next day we finaly made it down there. When we walked in there w...as dresses everywhere. The first thing the two of us thought was "there is now way we are leaving here without a dress"! We were greated nicely and tended to immediately. Mari was our girl! She helped us with everything. She even gives hugs when you get frustrated with your own size.She never gave up and made sure she looked after us properly. At one point another employee came to relieve her for her lunch break and she turned it down to complete what she had started with us. Our experience here was AWSOME and we both walked out with a prom dress that we loved! Thank you Boom Babies and thank you MARI!:) \t\n\t\nFrom two very very impressed Canadians! :) Read More

My daughter and I went to Boom Babies last week to find her first prom dress. As she was just starting to look a month before prom, I wanted a store that would still have a good selection. We had been warned that on weekends, you could be waiting in line for a dressi...ng room for 2 hours, so we went around dinnertime on a Thursday evening. We had also been told that the salespeople can be rather snotty. We were pleasantly surprised in both instances. We were approached by more than one friendly salesperson who secured us a dressing room and asked my daughter some questions about her typical dress size and style preferences. We picked out a few dresses from the enormous, overwhelming selection, but our salesgirl kept bringing us more dresses, and giving us her positive, but honest, feedback on each dress. My daughter tried on about 15 dresses before making her selection. We were not steered toward the most expensive dress; in fact, the dress that my daughter ultimately loved and chose was the least expensive of the bunch. Boom Babies also carries an extensive line of prom accessories. Our salesgirl helped her pick out shoes, jewelry, and a purse while still wearing her dress; however, she did not push us to look at these items. Maybe we could have found better prices on these items; however, we were able to get the total effect with the dress. I had expected to spend a minimum of $200-$300 on her dress. However, our total for dress, shoes, matching earrings and necklace, and purse, with tax, was $269! Total time in the store: about 1 1/2 enjoyable hours. My advice would be to avoid weekends and vacation days, as our experience was absolutely perfect! Read More
