Cinderella's Closet in Elgin gives girls chance to get party dresses
The YWCA Elgin helped make dreams come true for hundreds of modern-day Cinderellas at the 13th annual Cinderella's Closet event Saturday. High school girls could "shop" for dresses, jewelry, purses, shoes and makeup for a $15 suggested donation.
Girls were greeted by "Fairy Godmothers," who served as their personal shoppers as they selected from hundreds of beautiful dresses - all current styles, many new with tags, in sizes ranging from petites to plus sizes. Once each girl has found her dream dress, she can select jewelry and other accessories to complete her outfit.
To be eligible for entry, girls needed to be a current high school student.
