The Bar of Northern Ireland’s charity committee hosted its first ever frock swap at the Inn of Court in Belfast on Friday night.

The charity clothes-swapping event was organised to raise cash for The Welcome Organisation, the Bar’s chosen charity of the year.

Adele O’Grady QC, chair of the committee, told Irish Legal News: “It was lots of fun and fashion at the Inn of Court in Belfast on Friday night when the Charity Committee hosted its first ever Frock Swap.”

Ms O’Grady added: “Our members donated the most beautiful items for exchange - dresses, handbags and shoes.

“Fashion designer Una Rodden and Sinead Smith make-up artist were on hand for advice and styling - they also generously donated exquisite prizes for the raffle and the silent auction.

“The important thing is that we raised lots of money raised for the Welcome Organisation - we are in awe of the wonderful work that they do 365 days a year. Huge thanks to all of our members who donated money, items, prizes and their time.”
