Event Description

Love the Dress 11th Annual Event to take Place February 26-27th

Since 2011, over 4000 ladies have participated at the annual Love the Dress Event to select their perfect dress for prom or formal events.   These gowns are donated by members of our community, area high schools,  local department stores, bridal shops, and national designers.  This  year we have over 2,000 dresses ranging from cocktail to prom dress.  If you have a dress to donate, drop off locations are listed on our website.  You can also access volunteer opportunities there as well. 

This year our event will look much different.  In order to create a safer environment for our guests, we are limiting how many girls are in the waiting area as well as the boutique.  For the first time, we will be appointment only.  Appointment slots are now open and can be accessed at: www.lovethedresstn.com/2021-event-preregistration

How it works:  Ladies can bring a formal dress to swap at the event.   If they do not have a formal dress to swap, they can purchase one for $20 or a short formal for $10.  Girls in financial need receive a voucher for a formal.  Ladies can request a voucher through our website or request one at the door.   The event is open to any student from middle school to college.  All proceeds go towards event costs and WayFM’s community fund.

We will also be releasing some ideas online on how to have a special day in the event proms and Spring formals are canceled this year.  Stay tuned for creative posts on our Facebook page!  www.facebook.com/lovethedresstn
