For those women in the bay area, the princess project is collecting dresses until March 19th only... You can drop them off at any of the bay area Antrhopologie stores... In addition to Dresses, they also take accessories (purses, jewelry, wraps and shawls)...

Cool! This year, the Junior League of Toronto's New Member (Provisional) class is collecting accessories and new pantyhose for the Corsage Project.

The Corsage Project is getting most (if not all) of their dresses from sponsors this year.

In Cedar Rapids, the local pop radio station does it and it's called Gown Town.

It took place last Friday, and 137 dressses were distributed to young women. It doesn't seem like a lot, but every little bit helpes.

I donated 4 or 5 dresses to the Cinderella Project in my hometown. I got a card with photos of the girls that received them. It was precious. Ours even had hairstylists and make up artists come in and work for free.

The Corsage Project's Boutique Ball was last Sunday, and I was told it was a great success. I was there the day before, helping sort dresses and accessories. Most of the dresses (100s of them) were brand new, from various sponsors, but there were a few that were donated. Unfortunately, some of the donated dresses were just not useable as they were very obviously from the late 80s/early 90s. One dress looked EXACTLY like the dress Brenda and Kelly both wore to the Spring Dance episode of 90210 back in the first season!
