When it comes to senior prom, most teenagers count down the days until they get to wear their dream dress for all to see. And one girl's big day has been made extra special after a kindhearted shop owner gifted her a £578 ($700) gown for free after driving six hours to try it on.
Elyse Monroe, 18, from Manteo, travelled 330 miles to Charlotte to visit Summer Lucille's store, Juicy Body Goddess, which carries dresses for plus-size women. Summer has taken to TikTok to share how beautiful Elyse looks in her prom dress, admitting she cried while editing the video for social media.
