I've been involved in a fundraiser for the Breast Cancer Foundation. We had our event last night and we chose The Carpenter's Daughter to do our fashion show.
It was great to see our real women models, local ladies from size 16 to about size 26 do the modelling! The oldest model was an eighty year old. What an evening, what an event. Viva, to Real Women!

Thats quiet nice to hear , how i wish I was near to participate.

What a difference it made to a lot of real women to be able to attend a fashion show where they could go out and buy afterwards.

Sounds like it was a great night Liz. It would have been lovely to see realwomen strutting their stuff with pride. Any photos?

One of our members Paula in Chch is a designer and manufacturer of realwomen fashion clothing and has used some of our own rw on her catwalk too, very nice stuff. But I havent seen much of her for a while now.

Yes the Carpenter's Daugher is very good for that. It is actually really good business practice in fact. I get clothing catalogues for a few places and although they maye sell clothing up to a 3XL they only use slim models and smaller sizes their advertising photo shoots. Me, well I would never order anything unless they did at least illustrate it on a large size. The style may be very nice indeed on a size 14, but they should get real, because no way would I buy clothing by mail order, unless I saw it being featured also on a full figured woman first. Maybe I am just a bit precious , but that is the way it is, and good on those who like TCD's use real, life size models to show off their ranges as well. Good for you for being involved with fund-raising as well LIz. Many organisations need our support more than ever these days, and the one you chose to support is one of my own particular favourites too.
