BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Prom season is here, and thanks to Colvin Cleaners' "Gowns for Prom," some high school girls got to pick out the perfect dress for free.

On Saturday, the Buffalo Convention Center was filled with gently used, and in some cases, new gowns collected throughout the year by Colvin Cleaners.

"It's my senior year, and I want to find a dress that suits me," high school senior Serena Day said. "I want to go all out this time because it's my last dance."

Cyndee Billoni, owner of Colvin Cleaners, said the goal is to ease the stress for local families struggling to afford that perfect prom dress for their daughter.

"We have an option for about anything you're looking for," Billoni said. "Try to make them feel wonderful and feel like princesses."
