About us

A community treasure

Something Borrowed has served Teaneck since 2023, lending over 500 exquisite gowns to families in need of formalwear. Now settled into a permanent home at 545 Cedar Lane, the gemach features a spacious, bright collection space filled with natural light.

The collection spans gowns for baby girls, flower girls, bat mitzvahs, cocktail events, mothers and sisters of the bride, and a large selection of white wedding gowns, veils, and graduation dresses. Suits and tuxedos for baby boys too.
