IT'S SO MUCH MORE THAN A DRESS
Bella Boutique is Denver's only official 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to providing area teens with free gowns, shoes, accessories and more for their high school dances in a boutique space designed to replicate a commercial retail formalwear shop so they are able to shop in a beautiful space, like their peers.
Our organization not only provides hundreds of evening gowns each year to teens from Denver and beyond, but is also Denver’s only non-profit that provides each girl with a personal shopping experience to ensure that picking the dress of her dreams is a day she will never forget.
Our personal stylists are positive role models and positive influences. We foster confidence and inspire positive self-worth through clothing and dressing yourself. We encourage independent thinking and decision making skills. This experience is about so much more than a dress.

ANNUAL REPORT
See the latest impact and operations information from the Bella Boutique team.
Our experience was wonderful. Everything from the warm welcome greeting to bagging the dress, accessories and shoes...A true fairy tale experience. My [niece] Luqie was apprehensive and shy in the beginning of the experience and blossomed into a confident, radiant young lady ready to show the world another side of who she really is!
Personal shopper attention, care, confidence, fun, inspiring all the right stuff to bring out the best in our young women.
Thank you Bella Boutique for being there to help make the candle within the heart burn brighter!
