'Desperat' prom dress
By The Associated PressSaturday, May 07, 2005Melissa Saunders, 17, models the dress that "Desperate Housewives" is letting her borrow for her prom Thursday, April 28, 2005, in Philadelphia. The senior at Saint Hubert Roman Catholic High School wrote to the producers of the show last fall, after seeing her dream gown on the show. The lacy, rose-colored dress was worn by actress Eva Longoria as she mowed a lawn in the pilot episode. Saunders wrote that she loved the show and that she wanted photos of the dress so she could shop around for a similardress. The people at the show decided to do more. They sent her the original dress -- even adding a lining so it would comply with the school's modesty requirements. The dress goes back to Hollywood on Monday.
