If you need a wedding gown:

 

Anyone wishing to take a dress needs to make an appointment with the director. Email puccio@fairlawn.bccls.org to make an appointment. You do NOT need a library card and you do NOT need to live in Fair Lawn. 

 

• Dresses are one per bride

• We do lend dresses for costumes, film shoots, plays, etc. We have wedding gowns from the 1930s - present. Most of our vintage gowns are small sizes, ranging from 0-2 by today's sizing standards. 

• Yes, you can alter the dress to fit you.

• Please don't bring more than two people with you when trying on dresses. There's not enough room in the office for multiple people.

• Keep an open mind when trying a dress .That 80s dress might look fantastic if you remove the sleeves & bows. Changing a neckline or sleeve is much less expensive than buying a new dress. Many of our vintage dresses are perfect for weddings that require a more modest dress.

• Some of the dresses come with accessories like veils and slips, but not all.

• When you come to try on, try to bring shoes in the heel height that you will be wearing. Don't wear makeup that will stain the dress. 

• No shows who don't provide at least 24 hours notice will not be rescheduled.

If you wish to donate a dress:

 

We are no longer accepting donations.  The program will be ending by December 30, 2025.
