How to Claim Your Prom Dress on DressLocked (Step by Step)

It takes 30 seconds. Seriously.

If you already know you want to lock your dress, this is going to be the shortest blog post you've ever read. Claiming your prom dress on DressLocked is ridiculously simple. Four steps, no downloads, no payment, no nonsense.

Let's walk through it.

Step 1: Go to DressLocked.com

Open dresslocked.com on your phone or laptop. That's it. There's nothing to download, no app store to search through. It works right in your browser.

Step 2: Sign up with your school

Create your account and select your school. This is how DressLocked knows which dresses to show you. You'll only see dresses claimed by girls at your school, and they'll only see yours.

If your school isn't listed yet, you can add it. Once it's there, anyone from your school can find it.

Step 3: Add your dress

This is the fun part. You have a few options for adding your dress:

Paste a link to the dress from whatever website you bought it from. DressLocked will pull in the details automatically.

Upload a photo if you bought it in store or want to use your own picture.

Browse our catalogue if you haven't picked one yet. We have 380+ dresses from brands like Windsor, Lulus, and Showpo ready to browse and lock.

Describe it if you don't have a link or photo handy. Color, style, brand; whatever helps identify it.

The more detail you add, the easier it is for DressLocked to catch duplicates. But even a basic entry works.

Step 4: Done. Your dress is locked.

That's literally it. Your dress is now claimed for your school's event. No one else can lock the same dress without both of you getting notified.

You didn't have to DM an Instagram account. You didn't have to text 50 people. You didn't have to hope that some group chat would save you. You just locked it and moved on with your life.

What happens if someone else wants the same dress?

If another girl at your school tries to claim a dress that matches yours, DressLocked flags it. You'll both know there's a potential conflict, and you can figure it out with plenty of time before prom.

No surprises. No prom night drama. Just a heads up so you can handle it however you want. Here's why this matters more than you think.

Tell your friends

DressLocked works best when more people at your school are using it. Send this to your group chat. The more dresses that get locked, the safer everyone's pick is.

It's free, it's fast, and it saves you from the one thing nobody wants to deal with on prom night.
