The Princess Project

Promoting Self-confidence One Dress At A Time


Free Prom Dresses and Accessories for High School Teens

Donate, Volunteer, or Find a Dress

The Princess Project promotes self-confidence and individual beauty by providing free prom dresses and accessories to high school teens. Our effort is made possible through invaluable volunteer, donor and community support. Our San Diego Chapter has been helping teens since 2009 find their perfect prom dress. Over the past 10 years we have given away over 10,000 dresses. We hope to collect over 2,000 this year alone!

Get A Dress

With the help of our volunteers and community partners, we reach over 1500+ local high school teens throughout San Diego County and beyond to help make their prom dreams come true.

We Help Teens Grow In Confidence & Self Esteem

The Princess Project creates an environment that celebrates bodies of all shapes and sizes—our effort is intended to instill a sense of pride and confidence in the thousands of teens that we reach each prom season across San Diego, California. Our goal is to support individuals to discover and grow confident about their own unique beauty, inside and out.

You Are Beautiful 

We honor bodies of all sizes, avoiding photos and images that may inadvertently convey an idealized body size, style, and look.
