What About Her Own Prom?
Sherri Hill hails from a tiny, conservative Southern town. The local churches in her area did not even allow for a prom in the town. So Sherri had a “sort of” prom that wasn’t a big deal. She made her own simple dress which was ivory – just the way she likes her designs.
What Do Customers Think of Her Collections?
Sherri Hill has mentioned that customer feedback has been heart-warming during her career. She has said that her favourite feeling is when girls who have been wearing her dresses for years – from prom to formal events – call to ask if she will do their wedding gowns.
The brand seems to be pretty high up on Google rankings for bridal and the collection did not include bridal gowns for a long time. However, this was an easy expansion for the company, just a completely different set of retailers and buyers. According to Hill, she has not found the bridal design to be a massively different endeavour. Her focus is still on making girls feel beautiful on the most important day of their life.
Sherri Hill Designs Pageant Dresses, Too

Today, they do a range of custom designs for pageant girls or contestants purchase designs from the higher-priced collections – it’s all about looking incredible on stage and on camera.
What About Casual Collections?
Sherri Hill prefers to stick to formal pieces on a full-time basis. However, as the company continues to expand, they will consider bringing in other designers to focus on casual wear.
Plans for Expansion
With hundreds upon hundreds of stores in so many countries, Sherri Hill has no intentions of slowing down. In fact, the company plans on expanding more internationally. The growth of the brand has been through word of mouth and media. They don’t have a single sales rep on their team – customers tend to approach Hill. The brand has really taken off in the Middle East and is also doing very well in European countries and Russia.
