One Great Neck teenager has emerged as a finalist in the Stuck At Prom Scholarship contest, competing against over 160 entries. Her stunning creation, a meticulously crafted duct tape dress, required 34 rolls and 98 hours to complete.
Inspired by the symbolism of butterflies as bringers of luck and positivity across cultures worldwide, the dress pays homage to her late grandmother.
Designed in hues that reflect her grandmother’s grace, beauty, and spirit, the dress symbolizes renewal and the potential for positive transformation.
The butterfly motif, chosen for its association with good fortune and blessings, carries profound meaning in many traditions. For the teenager, this project transcends mere fashion; it embodies hope, resilience, and the promise of brighter days to come.
