Park Avenue South

Went to the shop with my mom to find a dress to wear to my sisters wedding the owners were extremely helpful and extremely nice they were very accommodating and had a very great selection I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a dress and the prices were very fair

So February 18, 2015 I realize that my daughter has less than 3 months until her HS prom. I refused to look for a dress on a Saturday so I decided to take a day off since my daughter was out of school for winter break.
Two days later Friday, February 20 would happen to be the coldest day ever! We live in Bergen County and of course no girl will get a dress from Bergen County if they live in Bergen. Ok, so I played the go to southern NJ for a dress game with my daughter; but, I am a planner. I Googled a few places down in Ocean County and I came across three stores. I found all three websites but I decided to call so I can get a better idea as to what they have. Why? My daughter is not the thinnest girl and she’s not obese. My kid is what they call country thick (yep, just like her Ma).
My Daughter tried on three dresses and we nailed it with dress #4. The dress was very beautiful and the price was under my budget too. I couldn’t believe that we found a dress within 45 min. Woohoo!
Here’s what I liked about Park Avenue: 1. Many many dresses. I think they have 3k dresses in that store. 2. the saleswoman… I wish I knew her name but she was a mature woman. She didn’t try to sell me a $ 700 dress or a $ 1k dress. She said if you want those I can sell you those but with college and other expenses I know your concerns. 3. You will feel comfortable if you’re a size 2 or a size 22.
The woman advised us that it was good that I didn’t come on a Saturday since we are in peak season for prom dress shopping. She said sometimes for a Saturday visit during peak season you have to wait on line outside the store.
Price range: Park Ave has all different price ranges. I am quite sure you can find a prom dress that will fit your budget. Happy shopping to you!

I drove 90 minutes to get to this store after searching all of the little boutique stores in bergen county. TOTALLY worth the trip! I was looking for a prom dress for my daughter. We found THE dress THE shoes and sang to the radio all the way up the parkway on our way home. The owner was very knowledgeable and hooked us up with a dress we had looking for everywere. They have a HUGE selection of dress up to size 22 which was impresssive and tons to choose from. Staff was patient and helpful. If you are looking for something in particular, they will get it for you.
Every dress we saw in all the boutiques we shopped in was at this place. The difference was the boutique stores have one or two dresses in one size. This place had RACKS of dresses. Thank YOU park Ave South!

I happened to be in the Toms River area, so I went to the local mall in search for a ball dress. But the mall had no formal dress shops, so a gal at Macy’s recommend Park Ave South Boutique (one shopping center away, next to Marshalls). I was greeted right away, asked for size and style preference, and by the second dressing room changeover-​I had found MY dress! It was gorgeous, and exactly what I had asked for!!! And I thought she (Karen, I think her name was?) had no idea what I was talking about, but she brought me a dress which was everything I’d asked for and more. She even gave me $ 20 off the purchase price, and recommended other items to make my dress pop. She was very kind, and so helpful. She made a last minute dress search into an effortless task. The dress was somewhat pricey, but the dresses are all statement pieces.
Most of the dresses run small, because they are purchased from China, so don’t be discouraged if your normal size runs small. Karen warned me of this, so I was less shocked. LOL. She has also been in the dress business for 26 years, so she knows her stuff.
I highly recommend this store if you have a prom, homecoming, wedding, military ball to attend.
