To heck with the cat, save my daughter's dress!

I was visiting with some neighbors this weekend and noticed a facsimile of the following decal on their door alerting firefighters and rescue personnel to the presence of the family's beloved pets:



You never know when tragedy will strike...

And that’s when I began to think (a dangerous thing)...

Now if you’re like me, you’ve spent untold hours fretting about it and thousands of dollars paying for your daughter’s solo dress.

Shouldn’t you take that “extra step” to protect it when you’re not home?




When properly displayed, the “Dress Alert” decal notifies firemen and rescue workers of the location of your daughter’s solo dress so it can be saved from fire and other natural disasters.

"Dress Alert" decals will be available from your favorite feis vendor soon.
