SHOPPER FAQS

What is it?
The 11th annual St. Andrew Prom Closet, run by the St. Andrew United Methodist Women, provides donated dresses from size 0-28 for prom. Additionally there are accessories to go with the dresses such as jewelry, shoes, handbags, and wraps. All of it is available at no cost. Only requirement is that each girl must be present to select her dress and accessories. There are currently 4,500 dresses to give away.

Who is this for?
This is open to any girl from anywhere.  If you live outside the Dallas-Fort Worth area, you can still come!  We have had girls from Arkansas, Longview, Waco, and Wichita Falls.

When is it?
Feb. 19, 20, 21, and 23. Hours are (Tuesday-Thursday) 4:00-8:00 p.m.; Saturday 9:00 a.m.-noon

Why was it created?
Prom Closet was created to provide a unique shopping experience for young ladies who because of finances would be unable to attend prom. Prom Closet organizers and volunteers confirm that not only is the need great, but the impact the dress makes on the girl and her family is immeasurable.  

How does it work?
The room is set up like a boutique. Each girl will be greeted as she enters the room and directed to the dress racks for her size. Once she has selected her dress, she can try it on in one of our 20 dressing rooms. Then she visits the boutique to look for jewelry, shoes, a handbag and a wrap.

Where are the items from?
Community members, businesses, organizations, and local groups have donated dresses, shoes, wraps, jewelry, handbags, and other accessories for this annual event. Some dresses have never been worn.

How many have you served?
The first year, Prom Closet provided 35 dresses to local high school girls, and last year, 1,207 girls (from 76 different school districts and 204 schools) received dresses and accessories, all donated by community members, local groups, corporations, and businesses.    

Where do people need to go?
St. Andrew United Methodist Church, 1401 Mira Vista Drive, Plano, TX, 75093, in Smith Worship Center (this is on the far east side of the church, at the corner of Mira Vista and Plano Parkway).What if people have questions?
