A Pennsylvania boutique owner stumbled on a mystery when she found a hand-written note paperclipped to a dress that had been donated to her store.

Jillian Nimick, owner of Nimi Boutique in Mount Pleasant, gifts prom dresses to students who can’t afford their own. While sorting through a large shipment on June 9, she found the note inside a turquoise dress—which led her on a journey.
