On Thursday June 9th The Friends of the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum will hold their annual Fashion Show for the benefit of the museum, at Almonte and District High School from 7:00pm until 9:00pm. This year the show will feature Almonte's own Mill Street Merchants.

Leading the participants is Kentfield Kids. They will feature some of their selection of Name Brand consignment clothing sized from newborns to size 10. Kentfield Kids offers a boutique style experience. They provide a changing room for little ones as well as a play area for the kids while you shop. For your comfort they even provide a place to sit.

Vintage Wear-Ware will be featuring dresses from the 50's and 70's. They are cutting edge with today's fashionistas. A few wedding dresses will also be included. Vintage Wear-Ware is a unique store in Almonte, offering a full range of men's and women's clothing from the 20's to the 90's. Whether it's sweaters, handbags, aprons, hats, skirts (plaid and tartan too), belts, even umbrellas, they have it all. They also offer a rental service for your next themed party or wedding.

White Lilly is the newest shop in Almonte, located in the Heritage Court on Mill Street. White Lilly offers you the opportunity to be drawn in, to see and feel who you really are, from the inside out. The clothes are selected to enhance your highest potential. Made in Bali from eco-fibres, such as bamboo, beech, soya, silk and cotton, the clothes are wrinkle free. To add that extra splash of personality to your wardrobe there are purses, silk scarves, jewellery and more.
