Fretex - the shop of the salvation army

Just like in many other towns in Norway, Moss has a branch of FRETEX, a shop selling donations to the Salvation Army. Clothes, books, furniture and so on - you name it.
In a country with a high standard of living, many like to browse the FRETEX shop and buy something for themselves and their homes. In most cases, it is some kind of hobby.
As FRETEX started out with used clothes, in Moss they have a little sewing studio where you can get help in transforming the clothes you find on the racks to your own needs.
Personally I haven't used that option yet.
Last time I visited FRETEX I noticed some red dresses hanging outside the sewing studio and then found the note above. Checking out the website (sedinkjole is Se din kjole and that is See Your dress) it is a promotional site for FRETEX - showing dresses according to the colors. Click on one of the colored spots and get a fashion show :)
Just for fun!
