Featuring fashions from the late 1800's to modern day, the sold out show celebrated Hay Township's 150 an- niversary with Phyllis Bennett, of CFPL- TV, as Master of Cer- emonies. About 20 models 'displayed clothes from five time pe- riods: 1846 to 1910; the 1920's, 30's and 40's; 50's and 60's; 70's and 80's; and styles of the 90's. Each set was ac- companied . by ap- propriate music and historical com- mentary. Between 15 and 20 peo- ple donated clothes, hats and other accessories, some of which were put on display around the stage. A few people had the opportunity to model garments that belonged to their own families. "We have 50 hats and...100 gar- ments," said Wanda Regier while helping to organize the event on Thursday. "The clothing is so tiny...The women were just poured into their clothes." "We're just so comfort -oriented now," agreed Organizer Helen Miller. "We're all so busy trying not to be noticed." "I would say we have more clothes in the 1800's to early 1900's," added Joy Hogg, also a fashion show committee member. Miller was impressed with the condition of the older clothes. While some articles were too frag- ile to wear, most of the dark -colored styles were exhibited with the addition of only minor mending toucheid. "I was really sur- prised about what was kept," she said. Committee mem- bers began ad- vertising for clothes in October and al- though some lenders came forward right The fashions were a challenge to find, as were the models who could wear them, most of whom were female from 12 years old and up. There were, however, a few charismatic male models in- volved away, the items were not collected until af- ter Christmas.
