Sariah Sinay (@sariahsinay) had the whole prom night pictured. The shimmering dark-blue dress, getting ready with the girls, piling into the car together, the photos on the way. As she explained in an Instagram video in late April, the getting-ready-together part was what she wanted most.

Then, her friends told her there wasn’t room for her in the car. She could meet them at the dance, they said, just not ride along or be in the pre-prom photos.

So, Sinay made a different call. Rather than tag along where she clearly wasn’t wanted, she decided to skip the prom altogether and repurpose the dress........
