A Step Ahead brings 25 years of knowledge and experience to helping you look your best for that special event. We understand that women and girls come in all shapes and sizes and no matter what your event, we want to help find the PERFECT dress for you.

In 1995 we implemented our prom registry and since then, have not sold the same dress to the same prom, even in a different color. We believe a girl's prom dress should be a reflection of her individuality!

A Step Ahead is a community-based business with deep ties to the Tri-state area. We sponsor many local charity events, as well as fashion shows to raise funds for alcohol-free After Prom Parties.

Unlike department stores, we carry a wide variety of evening wear that can be ordered in different sizes, colors and price ranges – to meet your special needs. Because we are NOT an onilne store, you can get the personalized help you need, without the risks of buying from a website.
