Curious how the Boutique works and who can attend? Please read!

Fairy Goodmothers, a Central Ohio non-profit since 2005, opens Cinderella’s Closet Boutique each spring to provide high school students with the opportunity to find their dream prom dress and jewelry at no cost. Assisted by their very own Personal Shopper, the young person can choose from thousands of dresses between sizes 0-36.

This year, the Boutique will be held at The Shops at Worthington Place, 7227 N High Street, Columbus, OH 43085 (West Entrance, Near Amano's Pizza).

The shop is open during these dates and times:

  • Saturday, February 22nd from 9:00am-4:00pm
  • Sunday, February 23rd from 9:00am-4:00pm
  • Saturday, March 8th from 9:00am-4:00pm
  • Sunday, March 9th from 9:00am-4:00pm
  • Saturday, April 12th from 9:00am-4:00pm

Please sign up for only one appointment per student. Registration will request the student’s name and email (only one appt per email) and then a parent/guardian’s name and email (if the parent/guardian is completing the sign-up). Proof of high school attendance (or home schooling) will be needed during check in – virtual proof is accepted. No proof of need is required.

We are open to all high school students seeking a prom dress! If a student requires translation assistance or other special accommodations, please include that information in the comment section of the sign-up form or contact us by email at info@fairygoodmothers.org so we can do our best to assist. If you are a school counselor organizing a group trip, please contact us at info@fairygoodmothers.org to make arrangements. 

Sign-ups close 24-48 hours in advance so we can prepare our volunteers.  If you want to come but can't sign-up, please come as a walk-in. Walk-in appointments are accepted after noon each day and only as Personal Shoppers become available so we strongly encourage students to pre-book their appointments online in order to provide the best possible experience for everyone and to help cut down on wait times.

If you would like to bring someone with you, we have room for each student to bring one member of their family or a friend. This person will stay in a waiting area while the student shops with a personal shopper.  While we have a waiting area space, it can get crowded so if you bring more than one family member, we will ask that they wait in an alternate area.

We will have some photography and videography in various public spaces during the Boutique. If a student is under 18 and would like to be in pictures, we will need a model release signed by a parent/guardian.

Dress comfortably with appropriate undergarments for changing. We do not have individual changing areas so tanks or sports bras are suggested. We will also send an email reminder with further details prior to your Boutique date, so please keep an eye out for more information on what to wear, where to go, and what to bring!

We can't wait to help find you a dress!

If you have any questions, please email info@fairygoodmothers.org.

It’s time to kick off prom season with the opening of the 2025 Cinderella's Closet Boutique!

Event Location:
The Boutique will be held at our storefront in The Shops at Worthington Place:
7227 N. High Street, Worthington, OH 43085 (West Entrance, near Amano's Pizza).

Event Details:
High school students in need of a dress and accessories for prom will pre-register online. We will serve 25 students per half-hour along with walk-ins.

Volunteer Shifts:
Volunteers may sign up for morning or afternoon shifts. If you’re able to commit to a full day, please sign up for all slots for that day. We would also love to have you volunteer for multiple days if possible!

Snacks and Drinks:
To help us keep costs down and direct our funds toward purchasing new dresses, we kindly ask volunteers to consider donating snacks or drinks for the sessions they are working.

Volunteer Training:
We will host virtual training sessions before the first boutique day each month. These short, 30-minute sessions are ideal for new volunteers and serve as a great refresher for returning volunteers. A brief orientation will also be provided at the beginning of each volunteer shift.

Volunteer Requirements:

  • Volunteers working directly with students must be female and at least 21 years old.
  • Please do not bring children during your volunteer shift.
  • Males or minors interested in supporting the event in other capacities can email volunteer@fairygoodmothers.org for additional opportunities.
  • Volunteers should wear all black and comfortable shoes.

Sign-Up Guidelines:

  • Sign up for yourself only. Feel free to share this opportunity with friends by forwarding the email.
  • For group or organizational volunteer opportunities, please email volunteer@fairygoodmothers.org.

Attendance Policy:
Your participation is vital to the success of the boutique! If you are unable to attend your scheduled shift, please notify us at least 24 hours in advance. Repeated no-shows will result in removal from our volunteer list.

We truly depend on our amazing volunteers to help us run the boutique smoothly and make this a special event for Central Ohio high school students. Thank you for supporting this meaningful cause!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at volunteer@fairygoodmothers.org

Fairy Goodmothers is...

dedicated to promoting confidence and self-esteem in Central Ohio High School youth. We achieve this by providing formal dresses and accessories to those who lack the means to purchase these items for themselves, thus enabling these youths to attend Prom and feel special during this exciting time.

You too can be a Fairy Goodmother. Visit our Donate, Sponsorship and Volunteer pages for information about these opportunities.
