Damas Dresses in Scranton, PA

A quinceañera court should look like it belongs together. Our damas collection is built for exactly that, coordinated gowns in a range of colors and in sizes 000 to 28, so every dama is dressed in the same style and shade regardless of her size.

Ordering for a group takes planning, and we do it in store, where your damas can try styles on, compare colors against the quinceañera's own gown, and be measured properly. Alterations are done in house, so the whole court is fitted on one schedule, and free layaway lets families pay toward their dresses over time rather than all at once.

Visit us at 724 Cedar Avenue in Scranton, with free private parking in back. Call (570) 354-6149 to bring your court in together. Larger groups are easiest to fit when we know you're coming.

A court is rarely one body type. The usual problem with dressing damas is that a style which looks right on one girl is uncomfortable or unflattering on another, and the group ends up either mismatched or with somebody quietly unhappy in their photographs for the rest of their life.

Carrying 000 to 28 in the same styles is what avoids that. Everyone can wear the same dress in the same color, and the fit is handled by alterations rather than by asking a girl to squeeze into the nearest available size. If one dama would genuinely be happier in a different neckline, that is worth discussing in store, where you can see the two side by side against the quinceañera's gown before deciding.

The single thing most worth doing in person is putting the damas fabric next to the quinceañera gown itself. Colors that look like a clean match on two different screens can be visibly off against each other in daylight, and a blush that sits beautifully beside ivory can fight with a warmer white.

Because we carry the gowns and the damas dresses in the same store, you do not have to match from memory or from a phone photo. Choose the gown first where you can, then bring the court to it. If the gown is already bought, bring it with you or bring a swatch.

Fitting a court takes longer than fitting one person, and it goes better when it is not a surprise. Calling (570) 354-6149 before you come lets us keep enough fitting rooms free so your damas are not queuing one at a time while everybody else stands around.

You do not need the entire court present on the same day. Whoever can come gets measured and tries styles on, the choice gets made, and anyone who could not be there is measured later and ordered in the same style and color. That matters when a court includes somebody at college or traveling in for the celebration.

Four to six months before the celebration is a comfortable runway for a court, for the same reasons it is for the gown, with one addition: a group order has more moving parts. More dresses means more chances that one needs reordering in a different size, and it is much calmer to discover that three months out than three weeks out.

Shorter timelines are workable. We keep stock on the floor, and our alterations are done in house rather than sent out, so we are not waiting on anybody else's schedule. If your date is close, come in and we will tell you honestly what is achievable.

Damas are the young women in a quinceañera court, and their dresses are chosen to coordinate with the quinceañera's own gown rather than compete with it. In practice that means the court wears the same style and color, in whatever size each dama needs, so the group reads as one set in photographs.

We're at 724 Cedar Avenue in Scranton, PA 18505, with free private parking behind the building.

Yes, sizes 000 to 28 in the same styles, which is the point. Everyone in the court can wear the same dress in the same color and have it fit properly, because the fit is handled by alterations rather than by asking somebody to settle for the nearest available size.

No. Whoever can come gets measured and tries styles on, the choice gets made, and anyone who could not be there is measured later and ordered in the same style and color. If you are bringing several damas at the same time, call (570) 354-6149 first so we can keep enough fitting rooms free.

Four to six months before the celebration is comfortable. A group order has more moving parts than a single dress, so the extra time matters: more dresses means more chance that one needs reordering in a different size. Shorter timelines are workable because we keep stock on the floor and our alterations are done in house.

Yes, and it is much easier done in person. Colors that look like a clean match on two different screens can be visibly off against each other in daylight. Because we carry the gowns and the damas dresses in the same store, you can hold the fabrics together before deciding. If the gown is already bought, bring it or bring a swatch.

Yes, layaway is free, and families use it exactly this way. Each dress can be paid down over time rather than the whole court being paid for at once, which is usually what makes dressing a large court manageable.
