| The Must-Have Spring Dresses for 2019 - Vogue.com Posted: 31 Mar 2019 06:04 AM PDT Wondering what to wear this spring? You're not alone. As the warm sun begins to peek out from behind the clouds, we are all reckoning with what our springtime looks will be. The simplest answer is a statement dress. Whether in a bright floral or a bold stripe, a statement dress is a one-piece solution to any springtime wardrobe woes. Thanks to a wide variety in stores, pulling together a polished and stylish look has literally never been easier. Take it from the stylish women in Copenhagen, New York, and Paris, who ruled the street style at local fashion weeks in modest minis, fashion-girl midis, and edgy shirt dresses. The lesson is that an eye-catching frock is the coolest and chicest way to feel put together while putting in a minimal amount of effort. Just pair with your favorite shoes of the season—shop a few of our favorites here—and top it off with a transitional jacket, and you'll be good to go until summer. Below, shop the must-have spring dresses that will have you ready for everything and anything. Shirt the IssueMenswear-inspired shirt dresses be gone. This spring, opt for one with a bit more moxie, like Prada's striped dress with orange ruffles or Vince's casual take on workwear. Whichever style you choose, know that shirt dresses are well worth the investment for their extreme versatility—pair yours with chunky sneakers for the weekend or sleek slingbacks for the office.  The Big ShortShort hemlines aren't just for the club. Thanks to brands like Nanushka and Reformation, minidresses are getting and architectural polish for day, too. Styled yours underneath a spring blazer for an added edge.  Knit While You're AheadRomantic dresses just not your thing? Try these clingy knitted numbers in easy neutrals or muted stripes. Add a sculptural heeled mule for the ultimate La Bomba touch, or pair with a classic flat sandals for more of a laid back feel.  In the LimelightDitch the British florals for a citrus-colored spin on the season's favorite print from Maje, Rouje, Sandy Liang, and Baum Und Pferdgarten. It's as refreshing on the eyes as it is cute!  Power Puff GirlsIf the puff sleeve wasn't enough of a statement, these frocks come in eye catching colors and bright florals that double the fun. Pair back the feminine frill with a pair of chunky combat boots to stay grounded.  Into the VoidBlack and white dresses are anything but boring thanks to LoveShackFancy and Alexa Chung. With playful yet minimal details and sweet silhouettes, these optic dresses will let your accessories shine.   |

That was the scene Saturday at the Woman's Literary Union's Fairy Godmother Gown Giveaway, which took place for the sixth year at the Foss Mansion to provide formal dresses to girls attending prom, homecoming, graduation or other important events. The girls could take home a long dress and a short dress. Girls who came were also entered into a raffle to win a full makeover at the Beauty Bar, jewelry and flowers donated by Anne's Flower Shop, and an updo by Additions and Subtractions.  Lewiston Alternative Education sophomore Capri Choiniere, 16, found the dress that she will wear May 4 to the Lewiston High School prom.

We request donations, but it's not required," said Doreen Jordan, vice president of the Woman's Literary Union. The Beauty Bar also donated dresses to the event, as did Day's Jewelers and many individuals. "I got a short dress, and this long dress is going to get altered, and I'm trying on these shoes right now," said Savannah Landry from Edward Little High School. "You can never have too many extra dresses." Attendance appeared to be down this year over previous years, according to Jordan, a disappointment given the nearly 500 dresses the group had available.

"I like that it's yellow and really poofy," said Nina Tucker, a sophomore at Lewiston High School, who decided on one of the vintage-style dresses. "Just keep trying one on 'til you find one you like," Florrie Mileikis, a Literary Union member, told the girls browsing the racks. She had volunteered at the event in years past and had heard stories of girls who otherwise couldn't have gone to prom because of the high cost of gowns. "Oh, look at this! It's like a perfect fit," Mileikis told one of the girls who tried on a pink gown. For those dresses that needed alterations, though, there were seamstresses on hand to do quick fixes. "And now, accessories!" said Paola Ducharme, who attends Gray-New Gloucester High School, after finding a dress to take home. "That's also important," said her mother, Penny Ducharme. Formal shoes, handbags and jewelry were available for the taking.

"All these dresses are so gorgeous! You guys are gonna be the life of the party!" Literary Union member Ann Edwards of Leeds told a couple of girls, as she steamed the wrinkles out of their dresses before they got bagged up and taken home. filed under: Related Stories  Latest Articles

| Palmyra woman rents out prom dresses to flood victims free of charge - 1011now Posted: 31 Mar 2019 08:21 PM PDT LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN)- It's prom season but the recent historic flooding stopped many girls from being able to pick out their perfect dress this year.  Luckily, one local woman is using her business to make sure every girl feels beautiful on their special night. Red, gold, navy and pink. Whatever kind of prom dress you want, Barb Farup probably has it. In her basement she runs ReDressed Formals, renting out prom dresses to girls for under $100. Now, she's doing something special. "I'm offering free dresses to girls that were victims of the flood," said Barb Farup. After seeing the devastating flooding she decided she needed to help. With over 500 dresses in 20 sizes, she says it's the least she could do. "If your dress was damaged in the flood or you were unable to go shopping because of the flood and life is just stressful, I encourage you to come and see me and I'll take care of you," said Farup. One of her clients, Callie Goertz, was unable to get home to North Bend after a school trip. After five days and a missed appointment, Barb rescheduled and told them it would be free. "I was not expecting that by any means, it about made me cry. Barb has been very helpful," said Sara Benzel. All thanks to Barb, Callie was able to shine in a red dress on prom night. "I was ecstatic because the dress made me feel like so confident and everything. I almost cried. I think I cried on the inside," said Callie Goertz. Barb says even through the hard times, she hopes to make others like Callie feel beautiful on their special night. "It's just such a blessing. It's so fun to be a part of something like that," said Farup. ReDressed Formals is only open by appointment. https://www.facebook.com/ReDressedformals/  |
