So, who am I?
Well, i'm Jo.
I am a Bendigo local (and have been here 30 years).
I love our town.
The people. The culture.
The coffee (and food).
The community feel.
It has everything that I (and my family) need.
I am a nurse and heavily involved in Equestrian.
I am a busy Mum of daughters.
I love fashion
(even though i'm normally dressed in activewear)
and participate when I can in Fashions On The Field.
I pride myself on being approachable, and honest (if it doesn't look great, I won't tell you it does)!
So, why dress hire?
Well.
Just like all of you. I had so many dresses that has been worn once, hung up, never to be worn again.
I couldn't sell them for anything near what paid (and they did look pretty hanging up).
I also found it so hard to find good, well-fitting dresses in Bendigo.
So ....
(with the little spare time I had)
No Strings Dress Hire was born.
What I love about it....
This question is EASY!
Dressing real people, in gorgeous dresses, making them feel beautiful - makes my day.
Helping people step outside of their comfort zone with fashion and trying new things - gets me excited!
There is also no better feeling than when someone comes in that 'just can't find anything for their body' but leaves glowing and confident - ready for their event.
I also love looking at the rainbow of 200+ dresses hanging up in my space.
Facts about me....
