Proud for Prom's team of talented seamstresses go above and beyond to support High School Graduates on Boutique Day. While some gowns and suits are not able to be altered to fit a person's needs, they go the extra mile when they can!

Along with a great selection of gowns and suits, Proud for Prom also offers shoes and accessories - a complete package for deserving Graduates.

If you are graduating this year and are in need of prom attire, Proud for Prom can help! Register for Boutique Day (Saturday March 7, 2026) at www.proudforprom.com/boutiqueday

Last year a number of graduates scheduled for Boutique Day had to cancel because they were scheduled to work that day. We know how hard it can be to ask for time off. Using this simple formula can help you feel confident talking to your boss.

Describe (set the stage for what you want to talk about): Can I talk to you about my March schedule?
Express (talk about the scheduling conflict with whatever level of detail you think is helpful): I'm graduating this year and have an appointment for Proud for Prom's Boutique Day for complementary prom attire.
Ask (be clear about what you are asking for): I would like to make up my shift another day/work the afternoon shift
Reinforce (know your audience, what's in it for them?): Having the morning off will allow me to attend this event which only happens once a year

Suits! Each year Proud for Prom does more fittings for gowns than suits. Why? We're not sure...If you know a 2026 Okanagan High School graduate, check in to see if they need a suit. Proud for Prom has a great selection of suits and accessories available at no charge to graduates or their families on Boutique Day, Saturday March 7, 2026.
