AT LEAST IT'S NOT A BRIDESMAID'S DRESS
 
Dress try-ons will be on Sept 28th and Oct 5th ONLY!! 
 
Dresses size 4 thru 20 will be provided for try-on to get the best fit.
 
 A second part of our concert attire is a pearl necklace.  If you own one, please wear it on Monday to get the OK on its length. (A synthetic pearl necklace is available from the dress company for $5 extra.)   
 
Current members: 
 If you need a new dress, PLEASE bring your old one in to SELL
 
Used dress prices are $25-$30, (1/2 the cost of new).  If you need a larger size than a 20, I will have the measurements of sizes up to a 28 available.  
 
All dress orders require a $30 at the time you place the order. Talls and special order dresses have ADDITIONAL charges.
