Like clockwork, with the holiday and year-end party season just concluded, gowns of every size, color and value are flooding into the GRACE boutique Style & GRACE in the Vineyard Marketplace. Great GRACE prices yield top-designer gowns at a fraction of their retail price. All have been gently worn, and many worn only once.

Whether you are in the market for a gown or party wear, or are cleaning your closets and would like to see your beautiful fashions help a worthy cause, Style & GRACE at 2030 Glade Road, Suite 238, Grapevine (Hobby Lobby shopping center) is the place for you.

 “We see a marked increase in gown donations at this time of year,” said Style & GRACE Assistant Manager Manon Kelly. “We also see many women and teens looking for gowns for occasions like sports banquets, cheerleader banquets, father-daughter dances and, of course, Valentine’s Day.”

The Style & GRACE experience is more akin to a fashion boutique than a charity resale store. Manon and her associates are experts at advising customers on style, fit, color and accessories. In addition to party attire, Style & GRACE also carries a large inventory of apparel suitable for office, church and casual occasions.

Nearly every event can be addressed—and dressed—at Style and GRACE.

“We have some ballroom dancers that love to shop at Style & GRACE,” said Manon. “They can find beautiful and elaborate gowns at great prices.”

Net revenues from GRACE resale stores (GRACE also operates GRACEful Buys at 418 East Northwest Highway in Grapevine) provides nearly a quarter of the annual budget for GRACE Client Services. Both your patronage of the GRACE resale stores and your contributions of clothing, housewares and other items support GRACE programs and services that assist thousands of people in need in northeast Tarrant County.

Style & GRACE is open Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday 12 p.m.-6 p.m.
