Puttin? on the Glitz was this year?s theme. ?Guests were greeted with decorated tables covered in jewels, and served tea sandwiches and desserts prepared by Chef Notty McIlhenny. The Tacoma Goodwill Golden Oldies Guild modeled vintage gowns showcasing 80 years of fashion trends. Fashion standouts included a 1940?s Oleg Cassini cocktail suit, a pink sequined flapper dress and a knockout designer 1970 hostess dress. The vintage style show was accompanied by period piano music and a lively commentary by Adrianne Chandler. The fashions are part of the Goodwill collection, which have been rescued and restored by fashion savvy Goodwill staff and volunteers.
