About 30 who read the requisite number of books got to attend a princess party. They dressed in gowns, most of which they and women from the FLDS sewed. Some participants also wore heels, put on makeup for the first time and went to the party at a home decorated for a ball.
The event was organized by Voices For Dignity, a nonprofit that has been working with people in and out of the sect in Hildale, Utah, and adjacent Colorado City, Ariz., collectively known as Short Creek.
