Heading to Boston this weekend to look at colleges, any suggestions on nice shops for Prom Dresses Well, there's always Mac'y, Filene's Basement and TJMaxx, but you've got all of those in Connecticut. You could go through Copley Place Mall and see what store inspires you. One destination mentioned in this post Thank you, I was hoping to find something like a cute boutique. I will check the Copley Mall. The boutiques are located on Newbury Street, but telling you which ones for prom dresses is not my ballywick. Boston has some very nice and upscale consignment shops that might be worth a look, great stuff at a fraction of the price! Will you have a car? A lot of local girls shop at the Ultimate on Rte 1 in Peabody. It's about 20 miles north of Boston. If you have a car and want to venture slightly north of Boston, The Ultimate on Rte 1 in Peabody is a pretty popular dress shop ..especially for prom dresses. There are a few other dress shops along Rt 1 as well but the names escape me....

Miscricket, One of the places that you might be thinking of is Angelique's on Rt. 1 in Saugus. BCBG is another popular, though somewhat pricey, place for prom gowns. Their website lists 2 locations in Boston..one in Copley Place, the other on Newbury St. 2 places mentioned in this post Ranked of 371 things to do in Boston Jessica McClintock is a popular place for girls to get prom gowns; my neighbor's daughter just bought hers there. There used to be one in Back Bay, but it has now moved to the Natick Collection, which is about 30 - 40 minutes west of Boston. However, Lord and Taylor on Boylston St. in Boston is another place which is popular with prom dress shoppers. One attraction mentioned in this post I don't think Angelique's is there any more. I was at that shopping center (where Kohl's and Hannaford's is) the last week and it wasn't clearly marked, but I thought maybe they were replacine signage. But I just did a google search and it showed 2010 Prom references but no 2011.

guess they couldn't compete with the huge selection at The Ultimate.

In 2015 Belle of the Ball served  500 deserving girls participated at the 11th annual Boutique Day. Belle of the Ball © 2016red prom dress corsetCatherine Malatesta played field hockey at Arlington High School, and 18 months ago, as the season was ending, she complained of shoulder pain. She wanted to get it treated before crew season; she also rowed for the school.A couple of months later, in December 2014, the diagnosis came: She had epithelioid sarcoma, an aggressive cancer that strikes 1 in 10 million people. Worse, it had spread to her lungs and spine.

She was 16 years old, and hadn’t been sick a day in her life. “She won awards for full school attendance,” says her mother, Jennifer Goodwin. More than that, Catherine was one of those people who brightened a room just by her presence. “She just carried such a positive vibe with her everywhere she went,” says her friend Carly Blau. Catherine was also someone who loved school, loved her teachers, loved learning. During grueling cancer treatments, she studied for her AP exams and passed them all. She loved to debate -- “She could talk a dog off a meat wagon,” says her mom -- and she wanted to be an attorney. Last spring from her bed at Children’s Hospital, Catherine recorded her campaign speech; she was running for student council president. The school played it over the loudspeaker. During one 38-day stretch, she had radiation and chemotherapy simultaneously. There was a clinical trial. Still, for the six months between diagnosis and the end of the school year, she went to class whenever she was able.

Catherine’s heart was as tenacious as her brain. She was the kind of kid who cut off her hair for Locks of Love, taught Sunday school, and was captain of a Relay for Life team to fight cancer. But the cancer was oblivious to treatment. Catherine couldn’t go to Italy with her chorus. She couldn’t row crew. She was up for a lead in a school play and couldn’t do it. She couldn’t accept a coveted counselor-in-training position at her beloved Camp Coniston in Grantham, N.H., where she had made close friends over four summers. “She still said every day, ‘How am I going to fight this?’” her mother says. In one hospital emergency room, Catherine told her mother about a prom dress she had seen online. “Let’s buy it,” her mom said. The lovely, smoky blue dress arrived, and it was perfect. They took Catherine’s wig to a hairdresser. Catherine was determined to go to her junior prom on May 29 with childhood friend Peter Clifford. The two weeks before the prom, she was hospitalized with fluid in her lungs.

She was discharged at 7 p.m. the night before the prom. She went to the dance and had a great time. But four days later, she was hospitalized, and she remained at Children’s until she died on Aug. 2, 2015. She left behind her mother, father Gregg, two younger brothers, and an army of friends. “The last time most of her friends saw her was at prom,” says her mother. “The last thing they saw her in was her dress.”Goodwin invited Catherine’s best friends to go through her things and take what they wanted. “Her prom dress was still hanging on her closet door, and her friends started trying it on. They said, ‘We should all wear Catherine’s dress,’” Goodwin says.“The Sisterhood of the Traveling Prom Dress” is what Goodwin is calling the effort, in a nod to the best-selling novel, and movie, about 16-year-old girlfriends and some special pants that bonded them. Some of those wearing the dress are camp friends, others are Arlington High friends. The first to wear Catherine’s dress will be Jillian Danton, who is going to the Arlington High junior prom on Friday.
