Sometimes achieving a larger dream, means first making the small ones happen....
This organization was formed by a High School Sophomore and her mother. We are a non-profit, 501c3, California Corporation, Licensed in the City of Temecula. With assistance from the Public Schools and other organizations, we give young women the opportunity to select a dress free of charge, and attend their high school event feeling confident, stylish and included!
This organization was formed because the High School Sophomore was saddened by the fact that many girls did not attend the Formal Event's because they did not have or could not afford to purchase their own dresses. She knew that many other girls, including family and friends; even she had beautiful dresses hanging in their closets waiting to be worn again. Thus, The Couture Girl's Closet doors were opened.
Due to economic frustrations, many young ladies miss out on high school memories and typically are unable to attend prom, forgoing a memory of a lifetime. The Couture Girl's Closet's mission is to offer donated new and used semi-formal and formal gowns to deserving high school girls. We want them to know they should never let themselves be bound by temporary financial hardships.
We collect the dresses and have them dry cleaned. When the next Formal Event is scheduled, the girls can stop by our "Borrow Boutique" and choose the perfect dress for the evening. There is no charge to the girls for the use of the dresses or accessories, only the requirement that they return the dresses so that it can be kept in The Couture Girl's Closet and loaned again to another girl at a future event.
