If life were like a John Hughes movie, we’d all be making prom dresses out of pink scraps and moxie.
But Shaw Middle School is doing Molly Ringwald one better, giving away prom dresses donated by the community all week. Why be pretty in pink when you can be fierce in fuschia?
The Prom Dress Shop — which also offers shoes and accessories — was originally geared toward middle school students who could not afford to buy their own dresses to the school’s big dance. Thanks to a deluge of donations, the shop’s hours have been extended and is open to high school students too.
Stop by and shop for free from 3:30 to 5 p.m. this week at Shaw Middle School at 2001 10th St NW. Just make sure that when you get to the dance, you pick Duckie.
