A local initiative to make some girls’ graduations and proms a dream come true has expanded its efforts to provide even more opportunities for young women. If Wishes Were Dresses is seeking not only gently used dresses and formal wear but also accessories, shoes and other products for young women who cannot afford these items to order to ensure their prom or graduation is perfect. Part of this initiative involves business support. “Something else that we really are striving to get more support from is local businesses. We had quite a number on board last year, we’re hoping to have the same ones on board this year, with hopefully a few more,” said Kait Tuttle, organizer. “The dress is one thing but the dress is not the whole package… sometimes if it’s a strapless
dress they might need a strapless bra because a lot of the girls that we get, a strapless bra is not something that they would have in their closet. So having that brand new bra donated would be great.” Last year, Giant Tiger donated a new bra to one of the girls in the If Wishes Were Dresses program. Another business that donated to the cause was Serendipity Studios, which has agreed to help out again this year. “Last year they did photography for all the graduates, whether it was from elementary or the secondary schools, and then they got a package. (The girls) just contacted Serendipity Studios and said they were with If Wishes for Dresses and she put together a small package for them and they actually got it for free,” said Tuttle. This will be the third year for the If Wishes were Dresses program. Tuttle said the program tripled in the second year and expects to have another
busy and successful year again in 2013. “With being able to get out the information, we’re just finding there seems to be a really strong need in this area for girls who need dresses so we were able to get the information out really well last year,” said Tuttle. The first year the program was in Napanee, about four girls benefitted from it. Last year, the program helped about 12. “We’ve seen great support from the community with the donation of dresses. We maintain our inventory of the dresses that are donated so whatever doesn’t get used from one year gets carried over to the next year. We always have lots of options for the girls to choose from.” Those interested in donating items can contact Tuttle at 613-483-2430. The If Wishes Were Dresses free boutique will be held at the Evangel Temple on May 6-10. Private one-hour appointments can be booked through Tuttle.
