Two sisters are set to turn heads in London with a fancy dress fundraising scheme they have planned.
Laura Packer, along with her sibling Emma, is dressing up in order to raise cash so she can work with underprivileged children in South America next year.
The enterprising student is seeking money to buy teaching supplies for the project, which is part of her degree in Spanish and Portuguese, the Essex Echo reports.
Set to take place on Sunday (July 27th) in London, the charity event will see the girls parade their costumes by walking 10.5 miles over the capital's bridges.
Commenting on her philanthropy, Ms Packer said: "I wanted to do something which would be of value to someone else as well, because at university everything you're doing is really for yourself."
Meanwhile, in other dressing up news, officials from the Record Holders Republic are set to visit Southwold next month for a second attempt at setting a world record for the most people in fancy dress, the Lowestoft Journal reports.
