The Ladies of Lineage Debutante Gown Event will take place at the boutique in Phillips Place from April 1 through May 31 this year. This event is by appointment only, and the store will have special pricing during the event and a range of debutante approved dresses from renowned bridal designers.
Exclusivity per gown will be on a first come, first serve basis. Ladies of Lineage offers gown exclusivity within each Debutante association, by maintaining a running spreadsheet for each individual association, to ensure that no two debutantes have the same gown at their presentation.
Ladies of Lineage has been serving Debutantes in the Carolinas and beyond for over 10 years, and often work with debs from the Charlotte Debutante Club, Charlotte Assembly, Charlotte Guild Deb Club, North Carolina State Debutante Ball, The Debutante Club of Greenville, and The Columbia Ball. As such, they speak annually to a board member from each association to get updates on any new Deb dress requirement, such as if gowns need to be a-line, must have straps, etc. and they work with individual associations to pre-select appropriate gowns for their debs.
For example, Ladies of Lineage carries the required full length white kidskin gloves that each debutante must wear. Lineage gloves are by Cornelia James, who in 1979 became glovemaker ‘by appointment’ to Her Majesty the Queen. Three generations later, the family business is still making gloves by hand in Sussex, England.
The Debutante Event is by appointment only, so each debutante will be in a private suite working with a stylist, who can help pull debutante dresses based on the deb’s needs. Gowns can be customized to fit the needs of each unique debutante, such as open bust cup or raise a neckline for larger busts, raise or lower waistline depending on torso length, add length to hem for taller debutantes, etc., and the store can provide seamstress recommendations both within and outside of Charlotte.
Gown prices range between $2,500 and $6,500, from designers such as Amsale, Sareh Nouri, Sassi Holford, and Suzanne Neville.
“Incredible inventory right here in Charlotte in an elegant boutique with the best, warm, and welcoming staff. Staff really listens to their clients and understands working within your delivery time and budget. Being a debutante and/or debutante mother is a super-special time the the Ladies of Lineage fully grasp. The whole experience of finding and fitting that all-important dress is a fun, comfortable, and definitely becomes a celebratory moment here that in turns sets the stage for many wonderful debutante memories.
My daughters and I were fine with our appointments at other boutiques and even their inventory, but the Ladies of Lineage experience is truly unsurpassed. Outstanding!”
