Cinderella’s Closet Prom Boutique, where high school students can shop from a wide variety of beautiful formalwear at vintage prices, opens April 8 and runs for a week at the LACASA Collection, LACASA Center’s charity resale store in Howell.
LACASA Collection hosts this eco-friendly event semi-annually for high school teens during prom and homecoming seasons. Brand-new and gently-loved gowns, dresses and suits are offered in a variety of sizes and styles, all for just $25. All proceeds from this event benefit programs for teens at LACASA.
The formalwear featured during this boutique is donated by individuals and retail businesses from the community in support of providing special occasion attire for teens at an affordable price.
Cinderella’s Closet provides teens with a unique shopping experience and includes awareness information about issues that affect teens. Guests receive self-esteem and self-empowerment messaging about how to enjoy their special night.
Those who would benefit from a less sensory stimulating shopping experience will have the opportunity to shop in a quiet and calmer space. Sensory safe shopping will be held on Sunday, April 7 from 2 – 4 p.m. prior to the official launch of Cinderella’s Closet.
LACASA Center provides educational programs throughout Livingston County high schools to raise awareness about issues affecting teens, including identifying controlling behaviors and establishing healthy relationships.
Cinderella’s Closet opens at the LACASA Collection on Monday, April 8 and runs through Sunday, April 14. Store hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The LACASA Collection is located at 120 W. Highland Road, Howell, in the Crossroads/Kroger Plaza.
