Donate A Dress
As you clean out your closets, think of The Princess Project and the new life and memories waiting to be breathed into your dresses. We are grateful to all of our donors!
As part of our commitment to providing new or gently used dresses to our High School teens, please understand that we will only accept clean dresses that have been recently dry cleaned (unless the dress is brand new), or laundered, and in ideal wearable condition, without any stains or flaws. Please do not donate uncleaned dresses, because we will not use them.
Dresses must be relatable to high school teens. We do ‘not’ accept vintage, summer, or business wear dresses. Or, dresses that are more suitable for a mature audience.
New for 2025, we are accepting men’s formal wear suits/tuxedos that are dry-cleaned or laundered (unless brand new), and in ideal wearable condition.
We appreciate your support!
