Charity fashion show features glamour corsets
August 25, 2009 
A group of women in Coventry donned their party corsets in aid of charity at the weekend, in a bid to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
Over 50 people attended a catwalk show of 14 ladies modelling period corsets and pink skirts on Sunday (August 23rd) to support breast cancer funds, the Coventry Telegraph reported.
Commenting on the fundraising event, organiser Emma O’Brien told the local newspaper: "All of our models who have recovered from breast cancer share a new, positive outlook on life.
"I wanted to get across the point that these women, no matter what shape or size, can lose a breast and can still look incredibly beautiful. More importantly they can also feel good about themselves."
According to the charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer, four in every five cases diagnosed in the UK are women over 50.
Figures suggest that one in nine women risk developing breast cancer at some point in their life.
