Friday 16th August 1991
A fashion show which took place recently in Warminster was attended by more than 200 people and has raised £220 for Warminster Carnival funds.
The show, organised by Mrs. Cathy Day, was held at Kingdown School, Woodcock Road, Warminster, and featured clothes provided by Mrs. Barbara Bates of Panache Fashions, East Street, Warminster.
Local models paraded the cat walk, which was decorated with beautiful plants loaned by the Warminster Fuchsia Society. Holiday and casual wear were followed by smart day wear and then evening and cocktail wear. The grand finale of the evening featured clothes for a family wedding.
Music was provided by Mr. Nick Swann, of Weymouth Street, Warminster.
Members of the audience were able to buy any of the clothes they had seen and liked, and a discount was given to all purchases made on the night. The Carnival Committee received a commission on each sale, to add to Warminster Carnival funds.
Mrs. Bates, after the show, said: “I’m pleased it all went so well. The girls who modelled and the audience were marvellous.”
