Most prom shopping in North Jersey starts with pushing hangers. This one starts with a calendar. The label’s booking page offers a single slot type for dress shopping — a one-hour Prom/Pageant appointment — alongside groom-and-groomsmen styling and personal styling. The couture side of the business describes itself as open by appointment seven days a week. There are no posted browsing hours to check, because browsing is not the model.
Miranda Kurtishi Couture is the women’s evening wear arm of a small tailoring house. Kurtishi is a graduate of Parsons School of Design, and the business she built is primarily menswear: suits, separates, shoes, ties. The label describes its own work as European tailoring crossed with American cut and Albanian craft. Gowns run parallel to that. Jasz and Terani both list this shop as an authorized retailer, so the prom-label names a Wayne junior would recognize sit next to Kurtishi’s own pieces.
Two addresses, one phone number
The address on this listing is 338 Central Avenue in Wayne. The label’s own contact page gives one New Jersey location: 1 State Street in Hackensack, roughly fifteen miles east in Bergen County. Both carry the same phone number, (973) 573-1016. Public property records describe 338 Central Avenue as a single-family house, which is consistent with an appointment-only operation and not with a walk-in storefront. Call and confirm where your fitting is before anyone gets in the car.
What the appointments are
- Prom / Pageant — one hour
- Groom & Groomsmen Styling — ninety minutes, listed as a free consultation
- Personal Styling — two hours, listed as a free consultation
The twelve gowns shown on the site’s gowns page are priced from $350 to $769, with most clustered in the $500s. Online listings are not a stock list, so the useful questions on the phone are which Jasz and Terani styles are physically there in your size, and how late a special order can be placed for a May prom.
Who this store sits among
Wayne has two public high schools that graduate roughly 1,200 students each — Wayne Hills on Berdan Avenue and Wayne Valley on Valley Road, listed as each other’s rival. DePaul Catholic on Alps Road makes three. The largest school in town belongs to none of them: Passaic County Technical Institute on Reinhardt Road enrolled 3,660 students in 2023–24 and draws from across the county, which means a fitting room in Wayne serves families from Paterson, Clifton and Hawthorne as readily as from Packanack or Preakness. The Patriot Press, the Wayne Hills student paper, has reported the senior prom held at The Legacy Castle in Pompton Plains, a few minutes north on Route 23.
This is not the only formalwear option within ten minutes. Totowa has La Belle Couture and Tina’s Bridal; Tony Conte is in Hawthorne; Willowbrook Mall, at the knot of Route 46, Route 23 and Interstate 80, carries the chain stores. What is different here is the shape of the visit: one hour, one client, a designer with a tailoring shop attached, and menswear under the same name if a date needs a suit that matches the dress.
