Her family had driven six hours to the shop find the perfect prom dress, but it exceeded their budget.
Prom dress shopping can be an exciting activity for young women. For some teens, it’s simply a matter of visiting a few stores in hopes of experiencing that magical moment of slipping on the dress. Yet boutique owner Summer Lucille knows dress shopping poses challenges for plus-size teenagers. Her own life experiences pushed her to open Juicy Body Goddess, a shop in Charlotte, North Carolina, that caters to curvy women and sells sizes up to 6X.
Now, Lucille spreads her message of love and empowerment on social media for others who may need a confidence boost. Her viral videos inspired high-school senior Elyse Monroe, 18, to drive six hours to the shop in hopes of finding her dream dress. “Don’t worry about the budget, we’ll figure it out,” Lucille told People about how wanted to take care of Monroe and her family after they drove from so far away.
The TikTok video now has more than 14 million views, but Lucille told People she didn’t expect her act of kindness to go viral. She was just so inspired by the young lady that she wanted to share the moment when a deserving teen finds her prom dress. In response to Lucille’s generosity, viewers have donated more than $12,000 in gift cards to the boutique to help other customers.
