Perfect Dresses For Prom Princesses


--by tat2dprincess, posted Jul 10, 2011

 

With two girls graduating from school this year, I was very stressed about the Prom!  This senior year ball can easily be the most expensive event of their school lives.
 
Anticipating the event I started looking around goodwill shops. Every time I saw a dress that might do for a Prom, at a reasonable price, I bought it!
 
Both girls have their dresses picked out now, but I still had extra dresses! :) So I called the school counselor and asked if she knew any young ladies who might need a dress.  She said there were a few. So, I donated the six dresses I had left over and she promised to take it from there.
 
I will not be able to see the reaction of people who are the recipients of my kindness - but I kinda like that way!
 
Can you imagine the joy on a young woman's face as she tries on the perfect dress and realizes that, despite her lack of finances, she will look beautiful at her Prom?
 
And I get to be responsible for six of those moments!

I hope the girls who received the dresses had a blast. I believe that there's an extra blessing in not knowing the results of your kindness.


Keep smiling!

I lost, despite my choir teacher telling me I had the best voice in the school. When my friend, who had MCed the evening, asked the judges why they hadn't voted for me, they said, "We felt she didn't deserve it because she made no effort to dress up like the other kids." Unlike you, they never entertained the idea that maybe I had no way of obtaining formal wear.
Anyway, bless your heart. They will always have that memory.
