Boutique Day 2014

The day we work so hard for every year has come and passed successfully! This past Sunday, March 23rd, was our Boutique Day, where we help over 150 high school girls find the perfect dress and accessories for their upcoming Prom.

When girls come for their appointment, they are greeted with a Personal Shopper (a Lonestar) and together they find dresses among our several racks. After trying on dresses and finding the one, the dress is taken for alterations if necessary. Then, Lonestars and our high school girls take pictures at the photobooth, snack on some delicious cookies, and pick the perfect pair of shoes and jewelry to match their dress. Girls also have the option of getting their hair and makeup done.

Girls can also enter raffles to win cool gifts such as a pair of Kendra Scott earrings, a Chili's giftcard, and more! Special thanks to all the businesses in the Austin community who donated because without their donations, we would not be able to hold these raffles. Lastly, girls can enter a short essay contest and win a discount on their Prom ticket.

We are so thankful for all the hard work and dedication our Project Princess Director, Matty Scott, and her committees devoted to make this event such a success. We would also like to thank the Texas Spirits, Lonestars' family members, and other volunteers who helped make Boutique Day run so smoothly!
