Chester school fashion show for pre-loved prom dresses

A fashion show at a school in Chester has put pre-loved prom dresses on the catwalk and sold them off for charity.

Organised by Queen's School head girl it aims to make the event more affordable and has raised £6,000 for Evie's Gift, a charity set up in memory of her friend who died.

Natasha Latham, 18, said prom was "such a special event" but did come with high costs.

She said the event was held so students could "get a really great deal and a beautiful dress" and also be more sustainable.
