History

Red Dress Boutique was founded by Diana Harbour in 2005.[1] During her college years at Columbus State University, she grew to love small fashion boutiques while working at three small clothing shops.[2] She opened her first boutique in downtown Athens, Georgia because of the area's thriving local business scene and lack of chain stores.[2] A second Red Dress Boutique location followed but later closed alongside the company's eBay business.[3] An eCommerce site launched in 2012.[2] In 2014, the company made $15 million in online sales.[4]

The company appeared on Season 6 of Shark Tank where Mark Cuban and Robert Herjavec split a $1.2 million investment in exchange for 20% equity in the company.[5]
