The Cinderella Project!

Do you or any of your friends have bridesmaid (or other prom-caliber dresses) in your closet that you’ll never wear again? Personally? I have 4.

Let’s join forces to help make underprivileged high school girls’ prom dress dreams come true by donating them to a charity I’m volunteering for called The Cinderella Project. Here's how you can help:

Get your dry-cleaned* bridesmaid or prom-caliber dress(es) to us between now & the end of February.

Send an e-mail to casajules (at) gmail (dot) com for shipping information.

Please ask all of your friends to dig through their closets, too!

*Average cost to dry clean a dress can be anywhere from $6-$15. Many dry cleaners will comp this for you or discount that price if you explain it’s for charity, especially if you already use a particular dry cleaner on a semi-regular basis. If your dry cleaner won't comp it for you and you can't afford to pay for the dry cleaning, please send the dress to us anyway! We’d rather have the challenge of getting them dry cleaned on this end vs. you not donating your dress(es).

Thankfully, lots of people have been helping me get the word out, and they'll get a post all their own when everything is said and done, but for now, here's a little bit of funny business that went on when one of my BFFs retweeted one of my Twitter tweets. See, Twitter only allows for 140 characters, so there can be a bit of creative editing when retweeting. She accidentally edited out an important word, and... well, see for yourself:


The BFF's retweet. Helpful but maybe asking for a bit too much from people.



My follow-up tweet; just to clarify things!


Thanks to everyone helping me help The Cinderella Project make some very deserving high school girls look and feel gorgeous at their prom!
