Eileen told the Glasgow Times: “It is really beautiful. I want someone to get a use out of it instead of just packing it away.

“If there is someone deserving who might not be able to afford a dress right now with the cost of living, I would love to help.

“With the cost of living things might be hard for some people right now, I just want to help.

“I am struggling to find a charity right now that could take it so I am looking for anyone who is in need.

“It is my second marriage and I donated my first dress to a charity that made gowns for still-born babies.

“No one really brings their wedding dress back out, it is much better to pass it on.”

Glasgow Times:

The cost of living and fuel crisis has left the country facing one of the worst economic crises since the 1970s.

With household bills sky-rocketing, some people have been forced to choose between eating and heating.

It means new brides-to-be may be facing serious financial pressure to put their big day together, leaving Eileen desperate to help.
