Chance Mitchell was the talk of the Somerville High School prom.
Why? She and her date, Leo Marcolino, were the only ones in yellow and purple duct tape.
It took her two months, $112, and 60 yards of purple and yellow duct tape to make a two-piece dress and a three-piece suit for her date. She even sported a duct tape corsage, and duct taped nails.
Mitchell made the skirt and dress to win $3,000 for college in a contest called Stuck at Prom, a national web-based Project Runway for teens and their duct-tape prom dresses.
Across the country, 19 pairs entered the contest. Mitchell and Marcolino are the only entrants from Massachusetts.
