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.
Dresses must be currently relatable to high school teens. We do ‘not’ accept vintage dresses or dresses that are more suitable for a mature audience.
We appreciate your support!
