The folks at You Wear it Well... Just for Grads are hard at work on plans for the 10th annual Boutique Day.
Launched in New West a decade ago, the not-for-profit organization is dedicated to helping at-risk students in New Westminster and Surrey find grad outfits – at no cost – that make them look and feel their best on their big day. Preparations are underway for the Boutique Day event on Sunday, March 3, where grads will be outfitted.
You Wear It Well is always in need of donations of gently used formal wear, such as gowns, jewelry, purses, men's suits and dress shirts, and women’s and men's shoes. Cash donations are also greatly appreciated, and tax receipts can be issued.
At Boutique Day, grads will shop for an outfit, get their hair and makeup done, enjoys some treats and have their photos taken. Volunteers, including seamstresses, tailors, hairdressers and makeup artists, will be on hand to pamper grads.
If you have any items to donate, contact [email protected], and if you are interested in volunteering, email Kathy at [email protected]. For more information, visit www.youwearitwell.org.
