Charity shop clothes are certainly fit for the catwalk, as The Myton Hospice’s Wellesbourne Shop showed everyone at their first fashion show!

 

Brand new and second-hand everyday outfits, evening wear and even a wedding dress were showcased at the Village Hall in Wellesbourne by staff and volunteers from the shop as well as some staff from Hilton Warwick who kindly volunteered their time to model for Myton.

 

The event raised £500 for The Myton Hospices, half of which came from sales of clothes and accessories on the night!

The shop’s manager, Wendy Bridges, said:

 

The fashion show was wonderful – everyone said what a great night they had and so many people were surprised by the quality of the clothes you can find in charity shops! We’re very lucky with the donations we receive and could show this off.

Thank you to Hilton Warwick, Maypole Butchers, Justina Clothing, Charlecote Garden Centre and Summerhouse Nails for making generous donations to our raffle, and to everyone who attended!

Following the success of their first fashion show, the team are hoping to be able to host another event very soon!
