Fashion show for Josie
TWO of Wedmore’s newest boutiques combined to put on a fashion show to raise funds to buy a specialist bike for five-year-old Josie Cutts from Winscombe, who was born with Down’s syndrome. The event in the village hall was a huge success, raising more than £2,400. Claire Bidwell from Lime and Jane Brake from Pale Blue showed their new spring and summer stock, with clothes modelled by friends and women from the village. Josie and her mum Lindsay watched along with a big audience. Jackie Wallis from Country Catering provided vintage afternoon teas. Both collections were stunning, affordable and wearable. Between the two boutiques you could find outfits that would take you in style from Ascot or a summer wedding to lunch with the girls or the school run! Claire is planning another show on Thursday September 22nd for the charity Help the Child.
Claire opened the Wedmore shop just over a year ago and has run a similar shop in Clifton, Bristol for 25 years. Pale Blue in Wedmore opened in March and is Jane Brake’s second venture. She has

been in Hill Road, Clevedon for six years. Both shops aim to offer a more informal and casual choice to Wedmore’s more traditional Mother of the Bride and occasion wear.
