Caroline Bradshaw

Caroline Bradshaw and Eric Elronde in her studio.

Someone made a post on Facebook about wanting to sell her wedding gown. A friend left a comment on the post with our details asking if she would be interested in donating her wedding gown to us instead.

Somewhere in the thread Caroline Bradshaw from Eveningwear X-change Dress Hire saw the tag about us and offered some of her old stock to us. I left her a private message and we got into contact.

She runs a lovely rental shop from her beautiful home in Somerset West, Western Cape. On the morning I met her we had a lovely chat about her business, what we do and how we can help each other.

She donated three colourful formal gowns to us; One plain cocktail dress in a bright lime green. The other two were floor length gowns. The one is in an interesting blue/green colour in a pastel hue with a beautifully beaded bust and pleat detail. The other is layered with different shades of lavender and purple.

We are extremely thankful to see the local business supporting our Non Profit Organisation. Thank you Caroline for your donation.

To date we have repurposed 8 Angel Gowns.
