It was hard to tell the models from the guests as women arrived at the Sarasota Yacht Club.
Attendees donned their best cute and casual outfits, including plenty of Lilly Pulitzer dresses, for the annual St. Mary Women’s Guild fashion show. The “Chantilly Lace” show featured clothing by Dillard’s, hair by Design 2000 and makeup by Esteé Lauder.
Five women modeled three outfits from the department store and one special guest model, Harry Christensen of Harry’s Continental Kitchens, modeled two outfits. Before the fashion show, the guild nominated officers for 2017. In between each round of outfits the planning committee called out various raffle numbers for items such as gift cards to The Lazy Lobster, Tyler’s Ice Cream, Café Don Giovanni and Dry Dock Waterfront Grill.
Attendees enjoyed black and blue salad with beef tenderloin and key lime pie with chantilly cream for lunch. Proceeds from this year’s fashion show will go to local charities.
