Vintage Fashion Tea Party

In the basement of the historic Spokane Woman’s Club on the corner of Ninth and Walnut, a trove of history accumulates: undergarments, headwear, accessories, formal gowns and adorable children’s frocks make up the club’s vast “Shirley J. Phipps Vintage Fashion Collection.” Members dust off the delicate fabrics dating as far back as the 1880s, with local women modeling pieces during the annual tea service fundraiser this weekend. While the club recently received a $300,000 historic preservation grant to spruce up the aging building, proceeds from this event support the maintenance of the vintage clothing collection.

Sat, Dec. 5, from 11:30 am-1:30 pm • $25/person • Spokane Woman’s Club • 1428 W. Ninth • womansclubspokane.org • 838-5667
