(KUTV) An anonymous donation is turning heads in Utah County, leaving a Provo Deseret Industries swimming in a sea of white.

Somebody donated around 1,000 new wedding and prom dresses to the store at 1415 N. State Street.

"It is definitely a unique thing," said Wade Olson, the store manager. "Very generous."

The new wares are on display front and center in the store, and they're attracting a lot of attention. Rebecca Flinders is getting married next month and was happy to learn she could find new wedding dresses at D.I.

"I like to save money," Flinders said. "I'm always looking for a good deal."

Lucky for her, she has a number of new wedding dresses to choose from at a place that usually prides itself on used. Some of the dresses are going for as low as $80.

"That's pretty good," Flinders said, laughing. "That's super good."

The thrift store, run by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is not disclosing who made the donation. Olson simply described them as a family that had recently gone out of business and decided to part with the dresses.



"They're all individually unique," Olson said, looking at the clothing racks. "I don' t know that there are any two over there that are the same."

He says this is a donation that benefits everyone.

"It's just a win-win story all the way around," Olson said.

For Flinders, it's a chance to get excited about her big day -- even if her fiance wasn't with her to check out the dresses himself.

"We went shopping yesterday and it wasn't a good experience," Flinders said with a smile," so I decided to leave him out of it."
