Since 2011, over 1700 ladies, have participated at the annual Love the Dress TN Event to select their perfect dress for prom or formal social events. These gowns are donated by members of our community, area high schools, local department stores and bridal shops.  Love the Dress TN was created in two fold to first help all girls be able to afford a formal for school or community functions and then to help a local nonprofit with a monetary gift.  The event also gives door prizes donated by local businesses, make up sessions by local beauticians, and how-to formal hairstyle presentations.

How it works:  When a young lady donates a gown to Love the Dress, they are given a voucher to use at the event for a free dress.  If they do not have a formal dress to donate, they can purchase one for $20 or a short formal for $10.  Area schools also refer students in financial need to us as well.

Ladies can also bring a formal dress to swap at the event.  The event is not limited to school girls.  College girls and ladies of all ages are invited to attend the event.

The 2017 LTD Proceeds will be donated to Graceworks Ministries, which helps local families in need.  You can find more information on this organization at www.gracworksministries.net
