BEL AIR, MD — When a student at John Carroll School collected prom dresses for the school's March 2 special needs prom, she ended up with more than she anticipated.

Allen had only expected to get up to 20 dresses, WMAR reported. Now Allen's senior project has turned into a free-for-all prom dress event, according to the news station.
