On Saturday, March 19, the YWCA Elgin and the Elgin Junior Service Board will help make dreams come true for hundreds of modern-day Cinderella's at the 12th annual "Cinderella's Closet" event from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the YWCA, 220 E. Chicago St. in Elgin.

It is a fun formalwear boutique where high school girls can "shop" for dresses, jewelry, purses, shoes and makeup (while supplies last) for a $15 suggested donation.

This year Cinderella's Closet has added prom related vendors such as florists, hair stylists, makeup artists, etc.

At the event, girls are greeted by "Fairy Godmothers" who serve as their personal shoppers as they select 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 need to be a current high school student with proof of enrollment. Any girl currently enrolled in high school is welcome to attend Cinderella's Closet.
