New Beginnings' Say Yes To The Dress event in Windsor is shaping up well, thanks to a large donation of gently used prom dresses.
Hello Beautiful Custom Fashion and Bridal Boutique has collected and is donating 68 dresses.
Co-owner of the shop Harmony Peach says her heart's warmed every time they get a new donation. "People have really taken care of these dresses. It wasn't like they went in the back of their closet and said, 'Ok, what do we have that we really don't need anymore.' They came in in dry cleaning bags, they came in on nice coat hangers and they're really, really nice garments."
New Beginnings supplies about 200 young women with prom dresses every spring through its Say Yes To The Dress event.
If you have a dress you'd like to donate, Hello Beautiful at 532 Pelissier St. is still accepting garments, as well as New Beginnings at the corner of Erie St. and Highland Ave.
