Need a dress for an upcoming wedding or just something new for a special event?

The Closet by A Beautiful Me has you covered.

The little boutique in downtown Port Huron is celebratin­g its fifth anniversar­y year with a special inventory reduction sale featuring a selection of dresses for $5. The one-day sale will be held from noon to 8 p.m. April 5.

“We have such a spectacula­r dress collection for all women, all sizes, all colors of dresses and we need to reduce our inventory,” Karen Palka, founder and executive director of A Beautiful Me said, in a news release.

Besides getting a great deal for themselves, customers who purchase a dress will be helping to support a charitable organizati­on that develops and trains girls in 3rd-12th grades throughout

Southeast Michigan through original confidence-building workshops and programs.

Since its founding in 2008, A Beautiful Me has reached over 11,000 girls, with its mission of empowering girls with positive self-esteem for the benefit of their overall well-being. Many of whom are now positively

affecting the world around them.

“As a nonprofit, people learn about A Beautiful Me’s purpose, knowing that every purchase of every dress supports the mission to build girls’ confidence with original programs,” Palka said.

The charity opened The Closet by A Beautiful Me in January 2019. It not only provides funding for the nonprofit but serves as an original business certificat­ion training program for teen girls.

The dresses are already affordable at The Closet by A Beautiful Me but for one day only shoppers will save more than 90% on dresses that could cost anywhere from $100 and up.

“After one of our strategic planning sessions we decided to celebrate with a BIG sale and pass along the savings to our community. At this price, customers may not want to try on the dresses — simply buy and go,” Kalka said. “Whether you are in the market to purchase a dress, or not, this event is a must attend to be prepared for that future event and support youth developmen­t.”

The dress shop is also planning to be open Good Friday from 3 to 6 p.m. for those who are looking for Easter dresses.
