Jersey Couture is an American reality documentary series that premiered June 1, 2010 on Oxygen.[1] The series follows the Scali family as they run their dress boutique, Diane & Co., located in Freehold, New Jersey and the personal lives of the owners along with the staff.[2]

On February 7, 2012, the second season of Jersey Couture premiered.[3]

Prom Dress Incident

On Friday, May 20, 2011, Diane Scali, owner of the dress shop Diane & Co., made international headlines when she refused to issue a refund on a dress from a 16-year-old girl whose boyfriend and prom date died in a car accident just 2 weeks before her prom.[4] Scali was quoted in the media as saying "It's not my fault her boyfriend died.", to boycott Diane & Co. and within 5 days had 15,000 fans worldwide supporting the teenager. Scali made headlines in newspapers and television from New York to Los Angeles and United Kingdom.[5]

On Monday, May 23, Diane & Co. was the main subject of talk show radio angst as local and national radio programs discussed her choice to wage war on the young girl. In the end, after nearly a week long battle, which included the cast of the show, their publicist and lawyers, Diane & Co. refunded the $1,500 dress to the girls' father.
