Taffeta galore! Our 2011 prom season has ended. Our next community dress drives for the San Francisco Bay Area will be in mid-February 2012, but you can host your own dress drive AT ANY TIME! See our guidelines here.
In San Diego, its largest dress drive is happening on Sunday, February 26, 2012 at the The Wed Club Bridal Show at the Sheraton Carlsbad. Bring your donations to the show or drop them off curbside. For details about this great event, go to: http://www.carlsbadbridalshow.com/Princess-Project.html
Can you use donations of wedding dresses or prom dresses? If so, how can I donate them?
Hi, Just found out about the Princess Project, I have a few prom dresses I would like to donate. In excellent condition. I think this is fabulous! I live in the UK.. How can I donate them? Is there an address I can post them out to?

Hi, I live in Santa Cruz CA and I want to donate my dress ( I was in a wedding this summer) but there is not anywhere close enough for me to drop it off. Is there somewhere that I can send my dress. Or can you let me know if there will be a donation drop off close to my area. I would like it to go to someone that will wear it, not just collect dust in my closet. Thank you.
I have a brand new dress, tags still on that I want to donate, last year I missed the date by a week can you please notify me when you are ready to accept donations. Thank you I am located in the northbay
This is such a nice thing you do! I’ve been looking for free dresses online, b/c I know I can’t afford one. I was thinking of the work I’d have to do to it before I’d be happy with it. Thank you for doing this for girls like me who can’t afford one of those 300 dollar dresses. The prom ticket itself is expensive enough!! Please let me know how I can get one of the dresses… if not from her then from some where else. I would love to go to prom this year.

Hi.
Thank you everyone for your interest in The Princess Project. We will be updating the site over the next week or two with our dress drive locations and giveaway dates.
For specific inquiries, please email us at newsletter@princessproject.org and we will get you in contact with someone right away.
Thanks so much,

Hello, folks. This is a great idea! Dresses can be worn more than once, and no one looking on will know the difference! What areas are you working in?
Hi Deena. We currently have sites in San Francisco, the East Bay, Silicon Valley and San Diego.
I live in Solana Beach…..where can I drop of a couple of dresses?
Thanks, Cheryl
Hi Cheryl.
All the Margaret’s Cleaners in your area will accept dresses year-round.
I am in need for a dress can you help me?? I live in Florida
Hi Ashley.
Please check out our Resources page and go to “events near you.” You can see there if there is a giveaway in your area.
Can I ship you the dresses ?
Hi Kerry.
If it’s just one dress, you can ship it to the address on our contacts page.
Thanks for thinking of us!
Annie,
We are in San Diego and are in need of a prom dress. Is it too late?
Teresa

Hello. We’ll be doing dress drives in early 2011, and will update the site accordingly when we have more information. Thanks for thinking of us!
Hi Jenny. We will hold our dress drives in early 2011. Check back on this site in mid-January and we should have dates and locations!
Im Goinq To My First Prom This Year But i Cant Afford The Dress Its To Expensivee I LIve In denver Colorado If Any One Can Help1
Hi Veronica.
Unfortunately we don’t have a Princess Project in the Colorado area. Perhaps your local school or community organization would know if there are organizations local to you that do something similar. Have fun at your Prom!
We have many party dresses to donate to you now as we have done in the past.
Can someone contact us so we can pick a day of pick up.It needs to be done now so if you can contact us
408 517 5700 that would be great! Our shop is in Cupertino Ca
Thanks
i like my girlfriend’s prom dress, it is a matte gold ball gown with lots of laces and ribbons.;’
It would be great if Princess Projects were able to expand or get the High Schools involved with the project. All of California’s High School Senior must complete 40 hours of community service to graduate and this would be a very interesting and personal project for the seniors to get involved with. I have many formal dresses to donate mostly small sizes, but it would also be wonderful if the United States Postal Service donated shipping to get these dresses to the donation locations! It would be great to have a box sent to your house that you place the dresses in and ship it right to Princess Projects location.
TO Veronica in denver Colorado, if you are interested in a dress please contact me with your size and maybe I have something you can use. Check out my FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com/pamelakjenkins, I am sure there is a picture or two of the dresses I have.
prom dresses that are bright colored like rose red are the best for a girl, .`-
Hi, I am coming to volunteer on March 19th at your event in SF, I have dresses to bring, are you still going to be accepting them?
Hi Shanda. We look forward to seeing you! Please do bring your dry-cleaned, prom-appropriate dress to the site with you on the 19th. See you then!
Hi,

I have a few dresses to donate, never worn. Where can I send them?
I have a couple of dresses that I’ve worn in weddings that I would like to donate. Is there anywhere in the SF Bay Area/San Jose that I could drop off?
I am an instructor of Esthetics at Blake Austin Academy in Vacaville, Ca. It is one of the school’s core values to give back to the community. My class would love to host a dress drive and donate the dresses to the Princess Project. We would also love to be available to do natural make up to those in need on the day of the prom. Please contact me at kristinh@blakeaustincollege.edu, or at 707-448-3100 x423.
Thank you!!!
Kristin Harris
Thanks, Kristin. We are currently “off” season but would love to talk to you closer to the next round of giveaways! We are currently in transition; if you could contact us later in the year, that would be so great. Thanks!

Hi Kim. If you are local to San Francisco, we’ll be having our dress drives in early 2012. Please sign up for our newsletter to get dates and locations as soon as they are announced. If you are not in the SF area, you can send dresses to the address on the “contact us” page. Please make sure to follow the guidelines on the Dress Donation page.
Hi Susan. Unfortunately, we are not able to send dresses outside of the area. Please check our “Resources” page for events near you.
I have 5 bridal gowns and veils that have never been worn that I would like to donate. Please tell me about the donation process.
Thanks,
Cynthia
Hi Cynthia. Our next dress drive is just around the corner in early 2012. Please check back around then, or sign up for our newsletter for the latest breaking info.
Ladies, this is for PROM. Please donate clean Prom appropriate dresses ONLY. Dresses that are in like-new condition. No stains, odors, holes….
If you have a WEDDING gown, you can donate those to http://www.BridesAgainstBreastCancer.org
Wedding gowns only. Not mother of the bride or bridesmaids.
Most Bridesmaid dresses are NOT prom appropriate and you should consider a donation to Goodwill.
Remember, this is run by volunteers, when you donate dresses that clearly a 16, 17 or 18 year old would not wear, you force a volunteer to spend their time and gas getting your gown to the right place.
Greetings and Happy 2012,
Do you have a drop off location in SF? THX
I have a formerly modified bridesmaid dress that I recently had dry cleaned. Are there any locations North of San Francisco that accept donations? I’m in the Sacramento Valley and I know I’m not the only one who has great gowns that we no longer wear to donate.
i live in the SF bay area and would like to donate dresses, where can I take them?
Hi Vanessa,
We have SF dress drives coming up starting February 18th. We have not finalized our locations yet but please check back on our website or facebook page for further details. Thank you in advance for your donation!!
Hi Amy,

We typically have locations in both the North Bay and East Bay so hopefully one of them will be convenient for you. Stay tuned to our website and facebook page for more information.
Thank you for your email! Yes we will have dress drive locations in SF again this year. Our dress drives are starting February 18th but we are still finalizing our list of locations. Please check back on our website and facebook page in the coming weeks.
