TOLEDO, Ohio — Start High School's DECA II fashion marketing students will host "My Sisters Closet Boutique" on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the school to sell new and gently-used dresses.
The dresses, sizes 1-30, will be $25 per dress to offer affordable dresses to girls who might have difficulty buying a dress for a special occasion such as a prom or a wedding.
The event is also a learning opportunity for the students, SHS fashion marketing teacher Robinetta West said.
"This gives my students an opportunity to learn fashion marketing and merchandising," West said. "They also are sales assistants to the customers that come in. They pull the dresses. They are stylists and they help the girls. We got jewelry as well as shoes."
SHS is also accepting donated dresses. To donate, call the school to make arrangements.
The prom dress sale event will continue after school from March 27-May 5 by appointment, by calling West at 419-671-3000.
