Our STORY

For years, Lori and Betsy have been talking about how hard it is to find cute, stylish, affordable dresses for their daughters in the DC Metro area.  First world problem?  Yes, but even so, it's still a frustration for busy moms who want to have positive experiences when they shop with their daughters for special events. The two decided to do something about it and they opened up a pop up dress shop in early 2018.  Together, they have created a comfortable, personal experience for dress shopping. They have carefully selected new dresses for girls of different styles, body types and ages. Trying to fill this niche in suburban DC is something to which both women remain committed to and excited about.  Meeting new families, connecting with other women, and watching mothers (and sometimes fathers) and daughters navigate the shopping experience are what makes DressLAB a rewarding experience. Hopefully, you will find DressLAB to be a satisfying, enjoyable, unique little dress shop.


“My daughter does not enjoy shopping. But DressLAB is different. It’s less overwhelming than a big department store and my daughter left with a dress she loved and a smile on her face.”
