Pop-Up Shop – April 2025

Debs Dresses

Do you have a Debs Dress Taking up Real Estate at the Bottom of your wardrobe?

Do you want to recoup some of the money you paid for a one-wear dress?

Do you want to see the next generation of debutantes in County Monaghan feel like a princess on their special night?

Why not register your dress for sale with Monaghan Co. Council’s Debs Dress Pop-Up Shop?

How Does it Work?

  • Monaghan Co. Council will host its first Debs Dress Pop-Up Shop in the Gate Lodge, Castleblayney in April, 2025
  • Between now and then you can register your interest to sell your dress by completing the attached form
  • Members of the public will be invited to visit our Pop-Up shop and try on the dresses
  • If they see one they like, they can contact you and negotiate a sale

Large amounts of raw materials, resources and energy are used to make and transport Debs dresses. These dresses should not become waste!

Monaghan County Council supports the circular economy principle.

Lots of young women in County Monaghan have good quality Debs dresses in their wardrobes. We want to encourage you to resell your dress to the upcoming debutantes of County Monaghan 2025.

*Monaghan County Council will provide the opportunity to display your dress and allow interested parties to try them on.  However, sale agreements are by private arrangement.
