A BURNLEY charity shop has unveiled its partywear section in time for bargain hunters to look good during the festive season.

The Barnardo's shop in Yorkshire Street is now offering a wide range of stunning ball gowns and sophisticated dresses at a snip of the first-bought price.

Sue Bowers, Barnardo's area manager said: "Christmas is an increasingly expensive time of year for all of us, and many customers welcome the opportunity to save pounds by shopping here.

"And because the dresses have only been worn a few times there are in near-perfect condition too, so who can blame them?"
