What happens if my appointment lasts longer than an hour?
In the event that you need more time, you may have to wait for a new dressing room to open up as we want to respect all of our clients' time who make appointments to come shop.

Are all your dresses in stock Samples?
NO! All the stock dresses are not samples, we sell ALL our dresses off-the-rack! Most stores do not stock the level of inventory we do. You can try on a dress in your size and walk out with the dress that day. If necessary we can special order any dress for you as well. All of our dresses are kept in pristine condition.

How early in advance should I make my prom appointment?
Prom season at GRC begins in November. We will have our largest selection of gowns and sizes between December through February. We suggest you come in during those months to be able to have various choices of styles, colors, and sizes. It is also recommended to come in during this time to be able to have enough time for any alterations if needed.
How early in advance should I schedule my Mother of the Bride/Groom appointment?
We suggest that you start shopping 6-9 months in advance to the wedding. We also give the option to purchase off the rack but to ensure that you get the dress of your dreams and have time for ordering and alterations, we suggest that you shop 6-9 months prior to the event.
Do you keep track of who bought specific prom dresses at specific schools?
No, we do not have a log of the local schools and what dresses have been bought for those proms. We have shoppers that come to us from all over the country and it would be too difficult for us to keep track of that information. Please use your school's social media page to keep track of what other classmates have purchased.
