Early last month I posted about Isla decorating a bra for an auction to support the Jewish Community Centre, and now thanks to Rachel we have a picture of her customised bra! Isla’s bra is typically colourful, and very pretty. View the picture to your left, and you can bid on it at jccbigbraauction.org.uk The auction closes on February 28th, and Isla’s bra is only at £50 so far, so you may be in with a chance!
