HOW IT WORKS
Dresses, jewelry and accessories are distributed at "boutiques" each prom season where each student receives individual assistance from a "personal shopper." The bouquets are open to high school juniors and seniors in Chicagoland.
Students do not have to register, but must provide a valid student ID or other proof of enrollment.
Students may be accompanied by one parent, guardian or chaperone.
