Glitz, glam, tuxedos,dresses, limos, and dates. Yes, the time for prom is just around the corner and one way, Thomcyn’s Formal Attire, at Mall of the Bluffs, focuses on prom is by having a fashion show.
“This is the first year they have ever done the show,” said Melissa Hively ‘11. “They mostly focused on weddings, but now their focused on proms.”
The show includes students from local schools. Students picked out favorite dresses from Thomcyn’s and JCPenney, then the students model the dresses down a runway. There happens to be many ways students got involved with the show.
“ The lady (who runs the show) asked me if I wanted to be a model and I thought (the show) would be fun,” said Jessica Valdez ‘14. “ I was nervous and I think it was overall a good (show) and I liked the dresses.”
For one of the four AL girls who participated in the show, just by having a sister who was participating in the show,was a way to be in the show. From one dress after the other, those who participated feel that the show went great and there happened to be many favorable moments.
“My sister is having her party and getting her dresses from there,” said Gabriela Valdez ‘13. “ (The show) was good and the end with all the girls and their dresses (were too).”
Not only do the stores offer dresses, the stores offer tuxedos too. By just purchasing a dress from the store, was a way one got involved with the show.
“I purchased a dress at the store and they called my mom,” said Hively. “(I enjoyed) getting to wear the dresses I couldn’t buy. I could of bought them if I didn’t already buy one.”
When the store puts on another fashion show, the girls show an interest in participating again.
“Yes I will (do the show again),” said J.Valdez. “I liked my first dress, it was pretty.”
From one part to the next, the end of the show is a favorite for one student. Favorable moments from the show leaves an impression on one student, that participating in the show again is a yes.
“I would do it again,” said G.Valdez. “ I liked the end when we all lined up and got our pictures taken together.”
The first prom fashion show put on by Thomcyn’s has shown to be a great one. From all of the dresses and students that participated in the show, coming back again to participate in another show looks like a future event for the AL students.
