It may have been miserable on the weather front, but for at least one youngster this week has had a highlight. Caroline Silwer (12) tried on her new church dress at Mary Poppe’s haberdashery shop in the Palm Centre in Melkbosstrand yesterday afternoon. She also bravely posed for a photo despite the chill.

The dress, which is of white lace and shoulderless, will be worn with a jacket. It suits the youngster’s slim build to perfection. Caroline attends the local Catholic Church.
