Ms. Informed

The dress, the shoes, the hair, the date, the limos…it’s PROM season.
And that got Ms. Informed thinking. I have 3 BEAUTIFUL prom dresses in my closet from my junior prom, my senior prom and a friend’s senior prom. Just hanging there. Collecting dust.
As much as I would love to say I still fit into them, I was about half my current size in highschool (oh to be young again), and will more than likely never wear those dresses again. So what do I do? Throw them out? Seems like such a waste.
I was trying to figure out what to do with these dresses when this morning on z100, Carolina Bermudez showcased an organization called BECCA’S CLOSET on her “ Rage Page.”

This organization and other like it accept your donated dresses and provide them to underpriviledged girls can go to THEIR proms.

Becca’s Closet has multiple locations in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.

About a million other organizations like Becca’s Closet exist too, including The Princess Project, The Glass Slipper Project, Fairy Godmothers, Inc. (are we noticing a trend here?), and Catherine’s Closet, — just to name a few. Or you can google “donate prom dress” and your home state to find more locations and organizations near you!
