We love it when a project comes together...

When we first heard about Carol Ofori's botched dress, we were both disappointed and excited. 

Disappointed that the dress was a fail but excited for the next chapter that Carol wanted to give the dress. 

So when Silomo Ntombela from Silomo Boutique decided to take on the challenge of fixing the botched dress, we were all extremely excited. 

Then the team heard about Shaylene's story, a young matriculant who hasn't been dealt a great hand in life. 

"Shaylene is a Grade 12 learner who was nominated by her aunt Rachael to receive the dress. Her grandmother took Shaylene and her brother in when they were much younger as their dad is in prison and their mom is an alcoholic." 

Listen to her interview with Carol when she first came into studio a few weeks ago.

It is time to welcome Shaylene and Silomo into studio to get an update on the dress!

Carol Ofori has already worn two stunning dresses designed by Silomo Boutique, so we have great hope for the next chapter for the botched dress. 

We know that it is going to bring Shaylene luck in this milestone moment in her life. 

Take a listen to what happened in studio today with these three powerhouse ladies...
