VICTORIA Beckham, Fever, Lipsy and St Martins.
For the fashionistas among this year's Ipswich and Suffolk Press Ball guest list, these are just a few of the coveted designer labels one lucky raffle winner will have the pick of.
Thanks to the generosity of St Nicolas Street-based Hardwear Boutique, one fortunate guest will take away a £100 voucher from the glittering evening.
Boutique owners Maureen Macmillan and Jill Burley have decided to donate the voucher to help raise money during the evening for the Press Ball's chosen charity Disability Care Enterprise(DCE) - an organisation that provides specialist equipment for disabled people.

Mrs Macmillan said: “We are delighted to be able to support this year's press Ball. I went to the Press Ball last year and it was a fantastic event.
“We are a small boutique selling very different clothes from the high street. The voucher can be used to purchase clothing, bags, jewellery, shoes and other accessories.”
