Please reach us at lolasnj@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
If you are shopping for Bat Mitzvah, Senior Prom, Junior Prom, Sweet 16, 8th Grade Dance, Mother of the Bride/Groom, Pageant, or any other occasion that requires a formal cocktail dress or gown, then the answer is YES YOU NEED AN APPOINTMENT! We are by appointment for all special occasion dresses/gowns.
We require a parent or guardian over the age of 25 present at all times for prom dress shopping appointments. A parent/guardian is not required at alteration appointments or pickups. If you would like to book an appointment with us and there is no parent or guardian able to attend with you due to circumstances beyond your reach, please email us at LOLASNJ@GMAIL.COM and we will try our best to accommodate your request. Just about every prom dress store in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania require a parent or guardian present at the time of a prom dress shopping appointment, so I promise you it's not just LOLA'S "making this rule up" Please be respectful of boutiques store policies being that they are usually the same across the board. Thank you in advance.
We are located at 357 Route 9 South, Manalapan NJ 07726, forever. There are many other stores/restaurants with the name "Lola" in it but none of them are affiliated with us.
No. We have a much larger selection of just about everything IN STORE at our physical location.
Yes.
The more the merrier! There is no limit on how many people can come to accompany you at a special occasion dress shopping appointment. However, one appointment = one person trying on. If multiple people in your party are shopping for special occasion dresses at the same time, more than one appointment is required.
If you would like an ETA on when your special order is going to be arriving, please email us at LOLASNJ@GMAIL.COM with your order information. We will not answer any special order estimated time arrival questions over the phone or over Instagram/Facebook.
Just like many evening wear boutiques, all dresses and gowns purchased IN STORE AT OUR PHYSICAL LOCATION are FINAL SALE and can not be returned or exchanged. LOLA'S is not responsible if your event is postponed or cancelled. LOLA'S is not responsible for those who have "changed their mind" and no longer find the dress/gown that they purchased suitable to their liking. Thank you for respecting our store policies.
On your yellow alteration ticket under your name and phone number there is an approximate due date. If you alteration is past due, please email us at LOLASNJ@GMAIL.COM with your name that is on your yellow ticket, phone number, due date, and wear date. If it is not past due yet, please do not contact us until it is 1 full day past due. We appreciate your patience.

6-8 months in advance for party dresses is what we consider to be SAFE. This guarantees any dress you want to be ordered AND altered in time for your celebration. If you do no have 6-8 months, do not stress or worry, as we have a very large selection of Bat Mitzvah dresses year round.
Anytime is a great time to find a prom dress at LOLA'S! We carry prom dresses year round.
January thru April is our busiest time of the year. During those 4 months we are one 7 days a week. During the months of May thru December, we are closed on Sundays so my staff (and myself) can enjoy a day of rest without having to think about dresses for 24 hours. We hope you can understand.
Bridal Reconstruction is a concept that we came up with in 2024 when brides bring us their mother or grandmother's wedding dress and we alter it to transform it into something that you can wear to your engagement party, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, or after party for your reception. This process can take up to a year to complete in some cases so please allow us plenty of time if you know that this is something you want to do for your upcoming wedding. The price of this service ranges between $1000-$1500 depending on what we are doing to the dress. To schedule an appointment for bridal reconstruction, please email us at LOLASNJ@GMAIL.COM or call us at 732-972-5222 during our operating hours.
Yes we do offer alterations on all items. No job is too big or too small for our seamstresses. Please note that we operate by appointment only for alterations due to the fact that the seamstresses are not always in and have customers throughout the day. To schedule an appointment for alterations, please call us at 732-972-5222 during our operating hours.
