A Pretty & Polished Affair

Prom is a celebration of years of friendships and hard work in high school and every young woman deserves to attend it looking her best. We want to make a few high school students’ dreams come true, regardless of their financial situation. 

In 2014 LGZ launched A Pretty and Polished Affair to ensure that each girl in Howard County, MD had the opportunity to feel beautiful on their special day. The event provides a full boutique experience for each young lady including a personal shopper to help them with their dress and accessories, basic alterations, hair and makeup tips and the opportunity to win raffled prizes. The event is free of cost and is held each year prior to prom season. Although the event is held in Howard County, young ladies are welcomed from neighboring counties. 

In 2017, LGZ made a very important partnership with Altholton High School's chapter of Becca's Closet. Becca's Closet is an organization who has worked tirelessly to provide young women around the country the prom attire they deserve.
