Maria's Closet

Maria's Closet A 501 (c)(3) non profit organization that focuses on empowering young women -
one gown at a time.

Mariaโ€™s Closet was inspired by one young woman in need of a dress to attend her prom. Ronna was introduced to Gillian by her counselor and she was able to donate the perfect dress for her. The minute Ronna saw her beaming, confident smile on prom day, she was instantly hooked. "We knew that the small strides we had been making with our local girls the last 3 years needed to be launched at a much larger scale....Maria's closet was born!"

Confidence is so much more than what you see in the mirror. ๐Ÿ’–

It's how you carry yourself, how you speak to yourself, and how you show up in the world. It's giving yourself permission to take up space, to try something new, and to be unapologetically YOU.

Confidence isn't something you're born with. You can nurture it, build it, and choose it for yourself- one little moment at a time. โœจ

At Maria's Closet, we believe every girl deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and confident in her own skin. Because when you start believing in yourself, the possibilities are endless! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’•

Never underestimate what a little confidence can do! ๐Ÿ’—

Finding your perfect prom dress doesn't have to be complicated!

Start with your vibe. Romantic or dramatic? Classic or trendy? Sparkly or simple?

Then, don't be afraid to try something unexpected. You came looking for a fitted black dress...and somehow you're wearing a gold ballgown- and LOVING it!

Most importantly, pay attention to how you feel. Ask yourself:

"Do I feel beautiful in this?"
"Do I feel like ME?"
"Can I picture myself making memories in this?"

Then add the little details that make it completely yours- the shoes, jewellery, hair, makeup, and all the things that bring your vision to life.

Because the perfect dress isn't just about how it looks. It's about how you feel in it!

And maybe your dress is waiting for you at Maria's Closet! ๐Ÿ’–

Save this for your prom dress shopping day! ๐Ÿ’•โœจ

Calling all South Bay artists! ๐ŸŽจโœจ

We're looking for a talented mural specialist to help us bring the patio at Maria's Closet HQ to life!

These photos are a little taste of what we're envisioning (thanks to ChatGPT), but we know there are some incredibly talented women right here in the South Bay with creative minds and serious artistic chops who will make this space simply shine! ๐Ÿ’•

We'd love to find someone who wants to help us turn this space into something colourfully fun, a bit girly, incredibly welcoming, and totally Maria's Closet.

Think you might be our girl? Know someone we should meet?

Send us a message! We'd love to hear from you! ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ๐Ÿ’–

As you add layers, go ahead and try a little spooky, try a like fall style, and most importantly- keep ๐˜๐Ž๐”. ๐Ÿ–ค

A little gratitude post for a BIG act of generosity! ๐Ÿ’•โœจ

Last year, Lawless Beauty donated 400 mascaras to Maria's Closet- one for each of the girls we were able to serve. And we're still so grateful for their generosity!

A special thank you to Alexa Woo for helping make this incredible donation happen and to the entire Lawless Beauty team for believing in our girls and supporting what we do. ๐Ÿ’–

400 mascaras = 400 little moments of getting ready, feeling confident, and adding a little extra fun before a special night out. ๐Ÿ’„โœจ

Thank you, Lawless Beauty, for showing up for our girls! We appreciate you more than you know. ๐Ÿ’•

โœจ Unpopular opinion, but true: not every dress needs a necklace.

Depending on the dress details, a girl might just need the perfect pair of earrings to frame her face and make the whole look feel finished! โœจ๐Ÿ’Ž

When it comes to earrings, do you prefer dainty or statement? ๐Ÿ‘‡
