Project Prom 2017 -- Felicity Joy Masone chosen to receive prom dress
Newsday Project Prom winner, Felicity Joy Masone, got to try on a slew of dresses at Estelle's Dressy Dresses in Farmingdale, which she called “magical” after finding three dresses she’d happily wear to the big night, taking place at the Water Mill Inn in Smithtown on June 21.
But even better, she says, was her photo shoot at the Newsday studios, where a dream team of stylists from nuBest Salon and Spa gave Felicity the ultimate glam makeover.
Well, dress stress has been eliminated. Except for you readers, since it’s up to you to pick the gown we’ll buy for her prom. Please go to newsday.com/projectprom to vote!
