As the Miss South Pacific contestants prepare for the big night of their Pageant tomorrow, November 11, they received beautiful tailored dresses from Tonga's local designer, Tintin Fashion.
Last evening at the Janfull International Hotel the dresses were presented to the contestants by the owners of Tintin Fashion, Bess and Rene.
The girls who were all delighted by the beautifully made outfits received two dresses each, one is a long formal gown and the other is a sleeveless mini cocktail dress - all in bright island colors.
Tintin Fashion began operating in Tonga in 2002 and last year they became involved in making a range of cocktail and evening dresses for former Miss Heilala, Telesia Kaitapu, when she attended the 2004 Miss South Pacific Pageant held in Samoa.
