Formal dresses and suits will be donated to teenagers in need after two Mackay sisters started the Dresses for Drought initiative.

After learning schools in drought-affected Mackay were calling off their formals, Anita Guyett and Tashoni Hardy started a Facebook page asking for dress donations and have received thousands of responses.

The dress collection point in Brisbane is at Racecourse Road, Hamilton.
