Unwanted wedding dress helped change people's lives

The story of a group of talented seamstresses who turned their skills to helping bereaved parents from Merseyside to the far reaches of America and Dubai all began with a wedding dress.

When mum-of-five Rachael Seager went through a difficult divorce in 2019, she was left with a pure white designer gown she didn't know what to do with.

She said: "It was stunning, and I didn't want to give it to charity and pass on bad karma. But the material was so gorgeous I asked what could I do with it, and someone came back to me and said there were charities that turned wedding dresses into 'angel gowns' for stillborn babies. I thought it was perfect."
