Welcome to Project Prom Dress :)!
Do you have formals you would like to donate, or let people borrow, for this event? dresses from high school? bridesmaids' dresses? cocktail dresses you don't plan to wear on May 18 yourself? We especially seek larger or taller size dresses, which are harder to find at thrift shops.
If you have a dress to lend or donate:
- If you want the dress back (to lend instead of donating), please label it clearly, preferably on the tag.
- In the front entryway of each building at school, you can find a green plastic box where you can leave your dress(es). Carie will be collecting them regularly.
- We will ask each dress recipient of a borrowed dress to return it, professionally dry-cleaned, within two weeks of the event (so, by Friday, May 30). Please keep in mind that accidents do happen and we cannot guarantee the safety of any dress, but we are sure that each PVS person wearing a dress will be grateful and exercise reasonable prudence with their borrowed finery :).
- The Prom Dress Exchange will be held on Saturday, April 27, from 1-4pm at Angela's home. Her address is 6014 N Haight Avenue: two houses north of Ainsworth Street, just west of Vancouver Avenue ... not too many blocks away from our event location :)!
- RSVP with Carie or Angela (see your PVS Directory, or via Carie's email, here).
* If there is anyone who is interested in running a similar effort for men's formalwear, please contact Kimmy or Kirsten (contact info)!
