Prom Dress Resale.  Our 2022 sales dates are February 5, 6, 9, and 12 and will be held at McKnight Community Hall on Main Street in White, SD. We contact schools in the area including schools who have had students either consign and/or shop with us in the past to provide information and a poster about our event.  We would appreciate if you could share this information with your students and families by either posting and/or circulating this poster.  The assistance that schools provide in helping us spread the word has been helpful and is appreciated very much.  It helps to provide students with an opportunity to shop for and/or consign a prom dress.  We are looking for dresses of ALL sizes.  While our main focus is on prom dresses, we encourage consignment of short dresses for all occasions as well.  

Shopping will be by appointment only again this year with 1-hour appointments available and dressing rooms to accommodate 20 shoppers during each hour time slot.  Last year was our first year using the appointment system and it worked great!!!

Our sale is a consignment sale, and we will be taking dresses at three drop off events in January.  Dates, times and locations for drop off are on the attached poster.  A consignment fee is charged for each dress consigned on the sale and is paid at drop off.  We pay the consignors 100% of the purchase price for any dresses sold.  The Booster Club does not keep a percentage of the sale.
