VOLUNTEERS running a social enterprise have showcased the venture to members of the business community.
Prommum staged a fashion show at the Tollgate Hotel in Blurton.
The social enterprise was set up by the parenting charity Gingerbread to try and address the rising costs of proms for parents.
It offers a clothing hire service for all prom and party occasions, recycling pre-owned dresses and suits as well as selling online to raise cash to buy new outfits.

Project worker Sharon Condliffe said volunteers, who have all been helped by Longton-based Gingerbread, are developing key business skills and opening up employment opportunities.
She said: "We had a splendid night and it went really well, with a fantastic turnout.
"We had a professional photographer, Deborah Stott of Stott Photography, who gave her time and took photos of the evening free of charge, and Nicola Hall and Amanda Hopkins of Salon Phoenix did the models' hair and make-up, also free of charge."
