Hello friends of Dressed!

We are rapidly approaching our Prom Pop-Up Shop event! Registration for Wednesday, 3/11, is full, but we have plenty of space for shoppers on Thursday, 3/12.

If you are a student in Somerset County or know one who may attend prom this spring, please share this link with them. We have a great selection of dresses! We encourage any Somerset County student in grades 9-12 to come see what we have to offer, whether or not they've fully decided to go to prom because this is when the dresses will be available. We are not able to offer one on one appointments for prom dress shopping outside of these dates, so it doesn't hurt to sign up. What could beat finding the perfect dress (and shoes and accessories if needed!) for $20?

Hello Friends of Dressed!

Thanks to the generosity of many in our community, we are able to provide this year's Prom pop-up shop to Somerset County's high school students!

If you're not famliar with Dressed and the service it provides, read on for the basics. If you are familiar, scroll to the bottom of the post, and click the sign up link to register to shop with us in March!

Dressed is a voluneer-driven nonprofit organization that provides two shopping events each year to get formal wear into the hands of students for a very low cost. Our pop-up shop takes place this year on March 11th and 12th from 5-8:30 pm each evening. We have dresses in an array of styles and colors from size 000-30, and for a $20 cash deposit, students can take home a dress that makes them feel beautiful, as well as shoes and accessories if they find something that suits them!

While shoppers are not required to register, registration is strongly recommended because it helps us stay organized and meet everyone's needs as efficiently as possible. Please note, your registration is not an "appointment," but it reserves your space to shop with us on the night you register.
Students who do not register or who show up on a night other than that on which they registered are served as "walk-in" shoppers. This means they will be served after any registered shoppers are served, even if those registered shoppers are in line behind them or show up after them.

We will publish a separate link with some more information. If you think you are interested in joining us to shop, please click on the link and fill out the form. You should receive confirmation that we've received your form within a week of when you've filled it out.

Thank you all for your great response to our volunteer link!

We also have opportunities for student volunteers. If you are a student in high school in Somerset County, you are welcome to join us as a volunteer, too. This is a great way to serve your community and collect hours for goals set by your clubs and service organizations.

Typically, students help to move dresses from our storage building to our event location before and after the shopping event. During the event, students help to keep the inventory neat and return dresses to racks so that they're ready for shoppers to view throughout the event.

If you would like to volunteer, please complete the linked form. A representative from Dressed will be in touch to let you know when you will be scheduled to help out based on your availability.

Please note: we need the most help with clean up on Friday, 3/13. We are appreciative of any amount of time people can come and help carry dresses!

Hello Friends of Dressed! We hope you are all doing well.

This post includes a link for adult volunteers to join us to help with the Dressed spring Prom pop-up shop, an event that helps get formalwear into the hands of students at low to no cost. It is an undertaking that takes many hands. So far, we are still in search of at least 5 more volunteers on Tuesday, 3/10, 10-12 more volunteers on Wednesday, 3/11, and Thursday, 3/12, and at least 10 more volunteers on Friday, 3/13. Without a significant commitment of more hands, we will not be able to provide this service this year. Please use the link below to let us know when you can join us to pitch in! Thank you for considering our appeal!

Even though the groundhog predicted six more weeks of winter, we have started thinking thoughts of spring and prom! We hope to hold our Prom Pop-up Shop in March, but we are in need of volunteers to make it happen. If you are an adult who is interested in volunteering to help make our spring prom shop a success, please click the link and fill out our volunteer application. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdr2ZKiVGi04zoLi-aXoXOavdzz-GVOyN_SrhaJAHns4QoQQw/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=113426644859112715596

If you have questions, feel free to message us in Messenger or send us an email at [email protected].

If you are a student who wants to volunteer or shop with us, please keep an eye out for future links. When we are sure we have enough volunteers to run our prom shopping event, we will post a link for student volunteers and student shopping registration.

Friends of Dressed, we are ready for you! Walk-ins are welcome but are served after all registered shoppers. For that reason, if you are available to shop tomorrow night, you will have a considerably shorter wait time than you will tonight. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Hello, August!

We are excited to announce that we have received more than adequate volunteer response to make the Dressed 2025 Homecoming Pop-Up Shop a reality! The volunteer link for adults is closed; however, if you missed signing up and still want to help, please message us, and we will get you on the list if we still have a need.

If you are a student in 9th-12th grades in Somerset County who plans to attend a semi-formal event this fall or winter in need of a short dress for such an event, please use this link to register for our pop-up shop: https://forms.gle/xKJpFDX1dUVJbDtE6

We encourage registration even if you're not 100% sure you'll attend such an event because August 26th and 27th are the only two days we will be open for shopping. If you even think you *might* go to an event and need a dress, come check out our selection.

If you know a student who fits the above description, please direct them to the link to register, too.

This link will be live until we hit our service capacity for each evening of the shopping event.

Dressed has been providing this service for about 8 years! Many of the students we have served are now adults out in the world doing awesome things. Because kids do that stupid thing called growing up, the number of people familiar with what we do has diminished over the years. Please pass on the word about this organization to friends and family who are connected to high school students in Somerset County who would benefit from our services!

And keep your eyes open for an educational post that will contain a lot of helpful information about how things work when you come to a Dressed shopping event!

Good morning!

Thank you to all who have signed up so far to help us get the 2025 Homecoming Shop off the ground.

Many hands make light work, and running a pop-up shopping event like this is a lot easier with volunteer support. We appreciate all of you so much!

We are now ready to open up our student volunteer sign up link. Student volunteers help to make sure that dresses are neatly rehung and accessible to shoppers throughout the event. Students also are some of our MVPs when it comes to moving the dresses in and out of storage before and after the event.

If you are a student in Somerset County, and you would like to help during the event, please fill out the form at this link, and someone will be in touch with you. https://forms.gle/iRUZNvQmxx2hFqzD6

**This is not the shopping sign up link. We will provide that soon. Keep an eye out and spread the word! **

Good evening, !
We are sending out one final appeal for adult volunteers. We want to be able to post and share the links for student volunteers and then student shoppers to sign up, but we cannot do this if we do not have enough adults to help us run things smoothly on Tuesday, 8/26 and Wednesday, 8/27.
If you haven't signed up yet and have time to help out, we would love to have you! If you have signed up but haven't shared the volunteer signup link to your own Facebook feed, please do so if you have friends who you think might enjoy helping.
We are looking for at least five additional volunteers each night before we can commit to providing this year's Homecoming Pop-Up Shop. Sign up here or share this link: https://forms.gle/QLvwsYJNJyXgwEnr5
Thank you for all who can help grow our volunteer crew!

If you tried filling out the volunteer link and got redirected to a spreadsheet, please try filling it out again. I made a mistake when I was posting earlier. (Insert facepalm emoji...)

We're so excited! We're halfway to the number of adult volunteers we need in order to make our August Homecoming Shop happen! We're resharing the sign up link and encourage you to share it to your own personal timelines: https://forms.gle/NNB5UeWWwcdokrh7A

We need about 15 more volunteers each day before we can be sure we have enough people to make our pop-up event run smoothly. When we hit that number, we can post both the student volunteer link and the shopping registration link.

Thank you to all who have signed up and shared so far. We are really looking forward to having you on board!
