Formal wear, including prom dresses, bridesmaids’ dresses, mother-of-the-bride gowns, evening bags, jewelry, wraps, shawls and gently used shoes, will be available at no charge. Items will be displayed in a boutique-style setting, and dressing rooms will be available. No appointment is necessary, and the event is open to the public.
