Woman’s Club in fashion

The Woman’s Club of Arcadia’s celebration of its centennial this year included a fashion show presented by Carol Libby Wednesday at a member luncheon that was open to the public.

But this was no ordinary fashion show — it featured vintage dresses modeled by members of the club who were each introduced as historical figures from different decades of the 20th century. The dozens of attendees were treated to a march through Arcadia history as told by Libby as each woman came out and walked the room. Libby was praised in an introduced by the Club’s Floretta Lauber.
