October Contest!

It's my birthday this month. I love birthdays. Especially mine... so, in order to celebrate, we're going to have a contest. And we think it's an amazing contest! Here're the details (also on the website and on Facebook too)...

Step 1: Choose a dress. The dresses in this contest are all NEW dresses (not consignment) - Wedding, Prom, Guest/Event, Mother's. Flower Girl dresses are not in this contest (we'll have a separate contest for those later in the year).

Step 2: Pay for the dress in full. This is important because once it's paid for in full you'll be entered into that week's draw.

Step 3: Get entered into the weekly draw. Each Monday I'll pull a name from those entered from the previous week. Each week will be a different prize: An accessory gift basket (Sole Mates and Hollywood Fashion Tape Gown Assortment), Jewelry Set, pair of Shoes, or a $50 gift certificate to the store.

Step 4: Get entered into the monthly draw. On the last Monday of the month, we'll pull one name. That person will win their dress. In full. We'll reimburse the price of the gown (minus taxes) to the winner.

To recap: Buy a dress in full this month and win weekly prizes and a chance to get the dress free.

Happy Birthday!!

Prom Dress of the Week: Beautifully Modest "Sapphire"

You will be a sparkling jewel in this gorgeous dress.

From Beautifully Modest, this dress is a delight from top to bottom. The sparkling V neckline is full of exquisite bead work and this is continued along the back.

The deep blue satin is covered in sheer black tulle which is ruched and lies horizontally across the waist and bust, then flows over the ball-gown skirt.

The back is a zip-up, and the beading from the front is echoed on the back.

The cap sleeves are perfect for the young woman who is a little self-conscious of her shoulders, prefers a little bit of coverage, or has a religious requirement for a modest dress.

While modest, this dress is not plain! It hugs the figure showing off curves and the sparkle along the neckline shows off the sparkle in your eyes.

The full length skirt will make you feel like a princess with the tulle under the skirt.

This dress is not available from the manufacturer anymore, but Paper Doll Formals has one in store!

As always, we do not sell the same dress to the same grad class, not even in a different colour and each purchase enables you to obtain the Prom Perks Package full of vendor's coupons and 10% off your date's tux rental.

Of course, the "Refer A Few" too - refer 10 of your friends who buy before a year past your grad date, and we reimburse you the price of your dress (minus taxes). Full details in store.

Come in now to try on this amazing dress and be the only one in the Valley wearing it for Prom.

Dress of the Week - 2Be "Fancy!"

This week's dress is not for the faint of heart!

From 2Be Bridal by Kathy Ireland,

this strapless charmeuse and tulle gown is a modified ball gown!

The deep plunging sweetheart neckline has a removable modesty panel for the front, which is net covered in jewels and beads.

The ruched charmeuse bodice features a hand-beaded Empire motif, chevron pleating and leads into a dropped waistline. The pleating gives anyone an incredible figure, because inside there is the waist band to hold the dress to your body, and an built-in corset, so you don't need to buy a separate one!

As you can see, the dramatic, multi-tiered pleated tulle skirt adds just that right amount of flare to the dress.

Below, you can see the deep-v back and the elegant chapel-length train which makes this a perfect dress for an indoor gala wedding or a fun outdoor ceremony too.

This dress is available in white or ivory and the removable straps are included.

This dress is at Paper Doll Formals right now for trying on. If you have that fun and fancy spark planned for your wedding, this dress is sure to fit right in!

Prom Dress of the Week: Forever Yours "Cinderella"

This week's prom dress is a fairy-tale come true!

Whether worn as a prom gown or even as a wedding gown, this dress is a fantasy dress from top to bottom.

The sweetheart neckline starts off a lovely satin bodice with coloured applique flowers and beads with a satin band under the bust that has a delicate floral detail gathering the four bands together.

The tulle skirt has matching floral appliques over the top layer of tulle.

The back is a lace-up back, which gives a beautiful shape to all figures as it cinches in the bodice for a close fit.

The skirt is poofier than in the photo, however it's easy enough to remove layers if desired.

The coloured accents are available in 39 different colours, so you can choose your favourite.

As always, Paper Doll Formals will not sell this dress to another person in the same graduating class! As well, all Paper Doll Prom girls receive our exclusive Prom Perks Package with vendor coupons, and 10% off your date's tuxedo.

Come in soon to see and try on this gorgeous princess dress, and make sure YOU'RE the one wearing it to your Prom.

Dress of the Week - Impression Destiny "Classic & Elegant"

This week's dress has everything in one elegant package.

From Destiny from Impression Bridal, the sweetheart neckline begins a sparkle and wrapped bodice that gathers on the hip in a lovely light taffeta.

A straight skirt falls gracefully to the floor, with just a small train in the back.

The lightness of this dress makes it perfect for a summer outdoor wedding in a garden or on a beach.

The sparkles on the bodice and hip catch the light as you move, as does the taffeta fabric.

At a wonderful price point, this dress has it all - class, elegance, and affordability.

This dress will not be available in the spring, so come see it and try it on soon before it's discontinued.

Dress of the Week - Impression Destiny "Flirty & Fun"

Prom Dress of the Week - Tony Bowls "Wild at Heart"

This week's Prom dress has everything you could want in a gown - sparkle, glamour and that WOW factor!

From Tony Bowls Evenings, this delightful taffeta dress starts with a sparkly sweetheart neckline that falls into a ruched and pleated criss-cross bodice.

The waist is made small by the pleating and on the hip are a couple flowers to add interest.

The front of the dress is gathered up to above the knee, where the back falls to an elegant train.

Underneath the sparkle and the train is a funky leopard print that adds a twist to this dress.

This was worn by a contestant on last year's American Idol in cranberry. The dress comes in light pink (as shown), cranberry, blue, brown, green and emerald all with the leopard under-skirt. It comes in white with a black under-skirt.

This dress is available to try on at Paper Doll Formals, and as always we will not sell it to more than one person in each graduating class, not even in a different colour! Come in soon to get this dress before anyone else can take it. The matching shawl (not shown) can be worn or made into a matching tie and pocket square for a small fee by our seamstress.

Dress of the Week - Beautifully Modest "Sleek and Sophisticated"

This gorgeous dress shows off all your curves.

This light taffeta dress has lovely asymmetical pleating throughout the bodice. The small cap sleeves cover the shoulders while leaving the arms free to move easily.

The ruching carries on all the way down to the calf area where the skirt flows into a billowing bustled skirt with a bubble hem.

The small chapel length train is perfect for any indoor or outdoor wedding.

The laceup back makes sure this dress hugs all your curves, giving you a sophisticated shape with the perfect fit.

This dress is available in white or ivory, in sizes from 0 to 20. There is also a matching emerald green bridesmaid dress.

We have both dresses at Paper Doll Formals for you to try on.

Prom Dress of the Week - Eventful

This dress is great for prom or any formal event you (or someone older than you) may attend.

Made from silky organza satin, this dress is available in a rainbow of colours.

The tulip sleeves are highlighted by pretty beaded sparkles at the shoulder and the ruched bodice gives good coverage front and back.

The beaded belt at the natural waistline adds a pretty sparkle and the skirt falls with an elegant drape.

There is a scarf to use to keep the chill off, in the same smooth material.

This dress is available at Paper Doll Formals and is ready for you to try on.

Dress of the Week - Jasmine "Delicate Sparkle"

This week's dress is a lovely gown with subtle accents all over.

In soft satin taffeta and lux organza, this dress starts with a ruched sweetheart neckline and bodice that gathers along the front with delicate flowers, feathers and sparkle detail.

The sheath dress is form-fitting to the knee and ends in an elegant drape to the floor.

The back is very sexy, as it is a low v-back with the ruching to the waist.

The train starts with a delicate beaded detail and two lines of ruffles flow out from it and create a wavy court-length train that is perfect for an outdoor or informal ceremony.

The inside of this dress helps to keep it to your body perfectly as there's an internal corset. This helps you save money as you don't need to purchase a separate foundation garment.

This beautiful dress is in store at Paper Doll Formals and is very affordable. It can come in any size from 0 to 34, and in white or ivory (shown).
