FAQ

How far in advance should I buy a prom dress?

The ideal time to shop is January–February. The hottest styles often sell out quickly — the longer you wait, the harder it becomes to get the dream dress you're wanting. Shopping early also means the best selection of sizes and colors in the most popular dresses.

What should I bring when dress shopping?

To get the most out of your visit, bring heels and an adult who can help you make purchasing decisions (mom, grandma, dad, aunt, etc.). It's also helpful to have your hair done and some makeup on (no need for full glam) if you typically wear it, so you feel your best while trying on dresses.

How much should I budget for a prom dress?

Prom is a once-in-a-lifetime night, and most girls want something that feels really special. Many designer dresses cost around $400–$700 because of the hand beading and construction, but we always work with whatever budget feels right for you.

What sizes does Z Couture offer?

We carry sizes 000–26.

What's the most flattering color for prom?

Black is the easiest color to wear — when in doubt, it's always a great choice. Pink is another great option because it's youthful, fun, and girly.

Is $500 a lot for a prom dress?
