On this Saturday during prom season, Elvira Larios sold over 100 dresses. She works at Cinderella in Downtown LA. Customers wait in line for an hour or more and are only allowed to try on two dresses per day, but despite the demand and the stress, Elvira manages to keep her sense of humor and help many dozens of girls find the prom dress of their dreams.
