+ "Better the second time around" Republican-American (Waterbury, CT) - March 8, 2005
Teens who have a taste for designer gowns but have a wallet better suited to Wal-Mart, should check out the Perfect Prom Project Boutique on April 3, from 1 – 5 p.m. at Waterbury Youth Services 95 North Main Street.There is no charge for the over 150 glam gowns, many with designer labels and some with price tags still dangling from them. Many of the gowns cost hundreds of dollars new and were worn once for only a few hours. Plus almost-new, strappy dress shoes, slinky wraps and other accessories, in all colors and sizes were for the taking.
This is the second year for Perfect Prom Project Boutique, which was the brainchild of Odette Scacco, owner of Salon Odette in Middlebury. Scacco wanted to give these beautiful gowns a "second chance" while helping local teens afford a high quality prom ensemble.
