CROWNSANDGOWNS2019.COM
MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT OR RESERVATION NOW! For the last 4 years we have tried to make our appointment system manageable. No matter how we worked it out, we always felt that the appointments weren’t as good as they could be. So this year we decided to make some major changes. We have added a third day of shopping (Friday) to help spread out the girls coming and create a less hectic experience for everyone. We will only be taking appointments on Friday, absolutely no walk-ins will be allowed. These appointments are also for one girl only, not groups. This will help create a time for girls who would like a little more personal shopping experience. On Saturday and Sunday we will go to a reservation system - what does this mean? You can send us your reservation to let us know what day and time you are coming that way we can plan to make sure things go smoothly (you even get $10 just for doing it!). Bring yourself, bring 10 friends come shop over 2,000 prom dresses all day long! Once you arrive you will be greeted by our Dressing Room Supervisor who will assign you (or your group) a room and staff member to assist you, if the rooms are full when you arrive you will be welcome to shop while we place you on our waiting list. Our goal is to make sure girls get a dressing room in the order they arrive. This system will let us help everyone in a more organized manner and get girls dressing rooms as soon as possible - all while providing our best customer service while you shop!
all you need is love. but a great prom dress doesn't hurt either.
