Palatine High School is currently collecting new and gently used formal dresses for the "Say Yes to the Dress at PHS" program. Dresses will be collected after the Homecoming and Spring Fling dances at Palatine High School. Distribution of the dresses will take place in the spring, in time for girls to "shop" for prom dresses.
Dresses will be accepted from October 19 to October 30 from 7:45am to 4:00pm at the main office at Palatine High School, 1111 North Rohlwing Road, Palatine. A second dress collection period will be held after the Spring Fling Dance from March 31 to April 4. To help promote the event, a "Say Yes to the Dress at PHS" flyer was created by Palatine High School student Alicja Babicz.
According to Joyce Richardson, one of the PHS staff members working on the project, "We want this to be a program from which all girls will benefit. No one needs to spend $700 on a Prom dress, and we certainly do not want the cost to prohibit anyone from enjoying their Prom. Our goal is to outfit as many girls as possible and use a minimal fee to generate more opportunities in the future for our students to come."
When asked for their support, the PHS Pirate Boosters joined the project immediately. Alissa DePue, Booster Club co-president, said "Whenever we are asked to support the Palatine High School community, whether it is a student, staff member, or department, we are more than willing to help. This opportunity provides an affordable option for those who wish to attend an exciting high school event and we are happy to be a part of it."
First off, Prom Dresses Cheap are for prom, not graduation parties. From the graduation parties I've attended, parties tend to be a casual gathering where people just hang out, so casual dresses and t-shirts and shorts are the usual apparel. Swimsuits may be the apparel if the party is around a pool. Unless the tradition of graduation parties around where you live is like a formal event, I don't think anyone wears prom dresses or like formal wear to graduation parties.
ReplyDeleteFor prom or perhaps a graduation dress, it's really up to your sister's style and body type. If you're not looking for too sexy, consider avoiding dresses that show a lot of cleavage or reveal too much back. For not simple, perhaps consider dresses with prints or lace. You could also consider ones with sequins and sparkles, but those things also scratch and fall off, so keep that in mind.
