After Five – Richmond

This shop has recently moved from Park Royal to Richmond Centre, but the change in location certainly doesn’t mean a change in service. Being one of the most popular destinations for everything grad, After Five has one of the largest variety of dresses, with popular brands like Sherri Hill, Ellie Wilde, Jovani, and Faviana among its ranks. Due to the high-end brands the prices tend to run on the high side, but there are options for shoppers on a budget.

Le Château – Coquitlam

Last on our list we have Le Château, a perfect option for shoppers on a smaller budget. No dress is more than $300! It’s extremely close as well, located in Coquitlam Centre Mall, making it a viable option when transportation is slim. The store sells only its own brand, but all the dresses are well made, and the colours and styles range immensely, suiting to all tastes.
