Sense charity shop appeals for 12 wedding dress models
Howard Lake | 5 September 2012 | News
The Sense charity shop in London’s Walworth Road is looking for women to model the 12 wedding dresses that have been donated to the deafblind charity.
It aims to display them with a photoshoot on the morning of 14 September in St Peter’s Church, Liverpool Grove in London SE17 2HH. The hair and make-up team have already been sourced: the charity just needs enough volunteer models.
Carolyn Gee, shop manager, said: “If the dress fits we’d be delighted to have ladies of all ages in a range of dress sizes 8 – 20 to model for us. So whether you’re getting married in the near future and you’d like a practice run in a beautiful dress, or if you enjoyed your own wedding day so much and you’d like another trip down the aisle – then we’d love to hear from you.”
The dresses have been donated from a variety of sources including individual donors and in some instances unsold stocks from high street stores.
There are 83 Sense shops across the country including a dedicated wedding dress outlet in Kingswinford near Wolverhampton.
