The kind of store one goes to buy prom dresses--what would one call it? I have it as "fancy dress store" in my first draaft, but I'm afraid that would confuse British people.

Also, the metal thing one hangs one clothes on after leaving a fitting room if one doesn't want them--anyone have a name for that?

Oftentimes girls go to department stores to find prom dresses. And when I worked at Banana Republic, I don't know that we called the rack anything in particular, but we referred to the discarded items (and often by extension the area where they were kept) as "go-backs", in that we had to put them back, though I don't think any shopper would refer to them as such. Sometimes go-backs were put directly on a rolling rack, which is what it's called if the rack is on wheels (thus making it easier to transport large quantities of go-backs to their proper places).
