В Брипорте пройдет модный показ свадебных платьев XIX–XX веков ради благотворительности

A bridal fashion show with a twist is coming to Bridport next week. A Walk Down the Aisle, presented by Theresa Weller, will take place at St Mary's Church, South Street on Friday, September 11. The show will feature a range of antique clothing and bridal wear from the 1860s to the 1970s, which will be modelled live. The event follows a similar successful show at Bradpole earlier this year, which raised much-needed funds for the village church.

The forum hopes to raise £2,000 to bring the Red Dress to the town hall for a free exhibition next year, from July 31 to August 15. The Red Dress, an internationally acclaimed collaborative artwork conceived by British artist Kirstie Macleod, has been embroidered by hundreds of women worldwide. Tickets for A Walk Down The Aisle are priced at £15 and can be purchased at the Bridport Tourist Information Centre. Wine and refreshments will be available for a donation to St Mary's Church, and a raffle will also be held. Doors open at 6.15pm, with the show starting at 7pm. The Red Dress Project, which celebrates women's contributions worldwide, will also see various events in the lead-up to and around the time of the dress's appearance in Bridport.
