I received a few questions on where I found a dress for our Valentine’s Day night out. And if ever there was a great find, this would be it. The Dress Garden is a small business in a basement — but do not underrate it. You walk in and it is a formal dress shopper’s paradise with almost 900 gowns to choose from in sizes from 0 to 22. I wish this place existed when I was in high school. Now that I know it does exist, I plan on renting often. Because for $25, a movie date just got a whole lot more dressy. OK, really $35 because there is a $10 cleaning fee. For the fancier dresses it is more, but all of the gowns I tried on were in the cheaper range. For once, in one location, I have taste that matches my budget.
It’s mostly geared to the younger prom crowd, but they have several gowns and other chic dresses that the over 25 crowd can wear with no worries of being mistaken for a high school senior. Both with sleeves (that picture is the only one on their website!) and without.
Anyway. Dress Garden. Bountiful. Fabulous find.
Awesome idea. You are beautiful
!
I love this business idea! How fun!
That is so awesome. I loooove that dress!
What a fabulous little shop! And it makes getting ready so much easier. Love the dress you chose.
Are you Mormon? I thought mormon’s didn’t wear dresses like that?
Hi Kalli, Mormons come in all sorts of shapes and sizes these days.
I didn’t mean to offend, I was just curious.
No sorry, that was me being defensive. I was nervous about putting up that picture. I needed to be more eloquent in my response.
Oh my gosh you are GORGEOUS!!!!! These pictures are precious.
