Southeastern is a company you may use to order a dress.

HANNA is a style we've used extensively over the years. This dress looks terrific and travels well.
LAUREL is an option for students who prefer to have their shoulders covered.

Tuxedo

Black traditional tuxedo
White ruffled shirt & bow tie.
Black shoes
I have a variety of pants and jackets that I can loan to families. You would be responsible for dry cleaning costs and proper storage during the school year. We do this in September each year. Students are responsible for their own white tuxedo shirt, bow tie, cummerbund and black shoes.
You can also purchase tuxedos from SouthEastern.
