SISSONVILLE, W.Va. (AP) If your vocabulary for colors is limited to the primaries to simply red, yellow or blue you’ll have a hard time describing the hundreds of elegant gowns that were trucked in from New York to Sissonville on a dreary, overcast day.
“Oh, that one’s pretty,” called a volunteer, on hand to help transfer the sequins and sparkles, the satin, chiffon, organza and crepe to Ronda’s Closet at Aldersgate United Methodist Church. The program provides free prom dresses to girls who need them and even has a selection of shoes to complete the look.
