Diana Scott, Studio D Catering owner, has been collecting donated dresses for the past few weeks and will soon be inviting high school girls to come and pick out their favorite one at no charge. The only stipulation is that they have to fill out a Thank You card, Scott said. Girls will also have the option to bring in last year’s prom dress and exchange it for a new one.

The idea came to her a few years ago, but wasn’t possible at the time. However, recently, Scott heard a few young ladies talking as they passed by the front of her building. She said the girls were saying they had been invited to prom, but weren’t sure they could go because they didn’t have a dress. One girl said her mother had lost her job, and she couldn’t bear asking for a dress, Scott said.
“I knew that Striders used to do it, and they had quit,” she said. “I hadn’t heard of anyone in the Jamestown area doing it. Other outlying areas … but I didn’t hear anything to do with Jamestown.”
Scott said she decided this year was the time, and put out a call for dress donations. She said it has since been two-and-a-half weeks, and by the end of the day, there should be 275 dresses.
Other donations will also be accepted throughout the disbursement period. Scott said she invited students from Falconer, Randolph, Frewsburg, Jamestown and elsewhere to attend the event.
She said she especially wants to thank Jamestown Skate Shop, South Hills Country Club and Anderson Cleaners for donating clothing racks for the event.
“I just appreciate it,” Scott said. “I’ve had some help from a new friend, Mary Jo Alpaugh – she has helped me through the past couple days sorting.”
Mia Bella Salon in Jamestown also donated several dresses, she said. Scott said Uptown Dresser on First Street has offered to do alterations on the dresses, should they need to be done. Uptown Dresser is located at 201 E. First St. in Jamestown.
