Prom season is right around the corner and The Princess Project will be giving away free prom dresses and accessories to high school girls who can’t afford to buy a dress at events in two Bay Area locations. No proof of financial need is required, just a valid high school I.D.. Each girl will be able to shop and choose one accessory and one gown from thousands of gowns of all different colors, sizes, fabrics and designers. Dress giveaways are on a first come, first served basis. So get there early to make sure you get a dress! Girls can line up starting at 7:00 a.m..

The Princess Project will be collecting new and nearly new formal gowns and accessories as part of its 2010 dress drive between February 8-19. The organization is depending on the generosity of women and companies throughout the Bay Area to help send local girls to prom next spring. Since The Princess Project began in 2002, the organization has provided over 12,000 girls with free dresses and accessories.

The founders of the Princess Project want every girl to feel beautiful, if only for one night.

The founders of the Princess Project want every girl to feel beautiful, if only for one night.On March 17, nearly 3,000 Bay Area high-school girls will enter the old SF Examiner building on Market Street, skeptical, no doubt, that its worse-for-wear exterior could possibly reveal, of all things, prom dresses free for the taking. But if past Princess Project giveaways are any indication, the place will be filled with taffeta in more colors than a Pantone swatch book, and enough tulle for it to be mistaken for the costume closet at the San Francisco Ballet. This year, there’ll even be a DJ.
