Ayr shop helps design charity bras

Apr 29 2008 By Lorraine Waddell

BIG-HEARTED staff at a sewing shop in Ayr are offering local people the chance to get their unique bras designed if they are taking part in the Moonwalk.

The charity event which takes place annually in Edinburgh attracts people from all over the country and those from South Ayrshire can get their garments designed at Sew Materialistic.

Women walk the streets of the capital city in their bras in order to raise money for the charity Maggie's which offers care and support to anyone with cancer.

Their aim is to open a second Maggie's Centre which will be based at Gartnavel Hospital.

This venture has been hugely helped by the contribution made by those taking part in the Moonwalk.

The shop decided to offer the service this year after being inundated with requests in previous years for materials to design the bras.

This year, it takes place on June 14 and the orders are already flying in at Sew Materialistic.
