Hundreds of San Jose high-schoolers clamor for free prom dresses and tuxedos



Their parents drive shuttles, paint nails and assemble parts. Some are disabled and others unemployed. But for hundreds of graduating high school seniors streaming through a San Jose community center Sunday, family economic woes won't keep them from the glamour of prom night in a designer gown.Eager teenagers selected from 1,900 new and lightly used dresses at a giddy, four-hour event in a room filled with creations that ran from satin and chiffon, to floor length and risqué.
