The Dress Your Part Project
Every student deserves the chance to take part.
The Dress Your Part Project brings free, mobile formalwear boutiques directly to students in rural communities, removing cost and distance as barriers so every student has the opportunity to show up, feel confident, and take part in the milestones that make high school memorable.
Our Mission
Bringing free formalwear directly to under resourced rural students, because every student deserves the chance to take part.
RURAL FOCUS
MOBILE BOUTIQUE
STUDENT LED
We seek out rural communities and partner with schools where students have limited access to resources.
Built and operated by students who understand the importance of school milestones & being able to take part.
We go where the gap is. We take the boutique to rural schools to provide the beautiful shopping experience every student deserves to prepare for a special night.
A Mobile Boutique That Comes To You
Wonderful organizations such as The Giving Gown Foundation are already helping students access formalwear in Harris and Montgomery counties. But for students in rural areas, distance can put those resources out of reach - and the need is no less real.
That’s where The Dress Your Part Project comes in. We take a beautiful boutique experience on the road, bringing free, current formalwear directly to rural Texas communities.
Students don’t have to travel to the resource. We bring the resource to them.
