Students - What You Need to Know

Glass Slipper 2022 has been cancelled due to COVID-19. Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates.

Our 2020 Boutique Location is 2641 S. Calumet, Chicago, IL 60616 (the former Young Women’s Leadership Charter School)

As a boutique shopper, we will do our best to find you the perfect prom ensemble! We have dresses from size 0-26 available; however, a more limited selection in plus-size dresses. Again, we’ll do our best to find you the perfect dress and accessories for your prom! You will also have the opportunity to find shoes, jewelry, make-up, and accessories based on the availability of donations to match your perfect dress!

What to expect at the Boutique:

  • You do NOT need to sign up ahead of time–just come to the boutique and get in line!

  • Just bring yourself and a huge smile–we are excited to see you, and so are our volunteers!

  • You will be “paired” with a personal shopper volunteer that will help you find a prom dress.

  • All items are donated from all over the city, and we hope that you are able to find a dress, shoes, jewelry, make-up and an accessory for prom night!
