        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reese Witherspoon&#8217;s Draper James is draped in cash.</p><p>The Oscar-winning actress&#8217; clothing company received a PPP loan between $350,000 and $1 million, <strong>according to the online database</strong>. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, Draper James employed 44 people.</p><p>The influx of cash was approved on April 11, 2020, just as the company came under fire for a <strong>dress giveaway gone wrong</strong>.</p><p>A rep for Draper James didn&#8217;t immediately return Page Six Style&#8217;s request for comment.</p><p>The brand wanted to thank teachers for their tireless efforts during the pandemic and offered them a chance to win free dresses. Unfortunately, Draper James greatly underestimated how many teachers would be interested in the deal — one million entered — and couldn&#8217;t meet the demand, as it planned on giving away only 250 dresses.</p><p>Instead, Draper James offered teachers discounts between 20 and 30 percent.</p><p>“Out of 535 teachers on a social media page on FB, not even one got a free @draperjames dress! What in the what??,” one person tweeted. “All of us received codes for either 20-30% off codes. Can’t even afford the dresses with a discount! Great marketing ploy!&#8221;</p><p>Page Six Style later exclusively reported that <strong>Witherspoon donated</strong> to nonprofit DonorsChoose to support teachers in three Southern cities following the Draper James flap.</p>]]></content:encoded>
