Q. Do I need an adult with me to shop for a Prom Dress?
A. We do require that all prom shoppers be accompanied by their own Parent or Guardian over 21 in order to shop. We offer a very high level of customer service. Our dedicated sales team will work hard to find you the perfect dress, but to do so it is necessary that your parent or guardian be with you while shopping. We can not accommodate groups accompanied by one parent. Please bring that one special person with you who will be helping you make your final dress selection so that you can feel confident in your decision. All sales are final.
