Hats off to Beatties’ super model show
Thursday 1st May 2008, 11:35AM BST.
Floral frocks, fancy footwear and feathered fascinators were the order of the day for ladies from Beatties when they turned models for the day.
tepping out in a host of evening and cocktail dresses, the female sales assistants from the Wolverhampton department store paraded the elegant outfits in front of shoppers at a fashion show in the store.
The stand-in models took to the walkway to showcase a host of sizzling styles for the forthcoming summer season.
And hats off to the women who showed off the outfits in style in front of a crowd of dozens in the Victoria Street store.
Styles from CC, formerly known as Country Casuals, as well as fashions from Jacques Vert, Windsmoor, Planet and Precis were showcased. With the wedding season soon upon us, the ladies dressed to impress in a range of dresses which were perfect wedding guest attire.
They provided much inspiration for shoppers who were looking to dress up in style for the summer.
And the frocks on parade could also go down a treat at other occasions, such as a day at the races.
From floral floor-length gowns to bold coloured dresses, there was a range of styles displayed which are on sale in the store.
And for those who preferred a bit more of a cover-up, ladies showcased a number of dresses and skirts teamed up with classic jackets as well as fresh-looking linen trouser suits.
And no outfit would be complete without accessories, so the staff-turned-models finished off their look with strappy sandals, colourful jewellery and snazzy handbags.
And when it came to headgear, feathered fascinators and fancy hats added the final touch of class to the summery outfits.
Prices of the dresses started from £140, with fascinator prices around £40 and hats £100. Trousers are priced from £70 and tops are £22 upwards.
And while the staff showcased the styles, beauty consultants from the store’s Christian Dior concession were on hand to show shoppers how to achieve the perfect make-up for summer.
