The Wongarbon Branch of the CWA has partnered with the Cavalcade of History and Fashion to present an afternoon tea and a themed presentation from the 1900s.
The audience will be given the opportunity to get a close-up look of the fashion of the era while hearing about the women who wore the pieces and the kind of lives they led.

Branch president Marjorie Blatch said she hoped to attract an even bigger audience than last year.
"Fashion can give us an interesting glimpse into the world of yesteryear and can teach us so much about who we were and how far we've come," she said.
"With the popularity of shows like Downtown Abbey it's clear there is an interest in the Edwardian era, which covers the early 1990s."
It was a fabulous opportunity for history buffs, fashionistas and anyone who enjoys learning about days gone by, Ms Blatch said.
She said the afternoon tea and presentation was the major fundraising event for the Wongarbon CWA branch, with all money raised going to those doing it tough.
The Edwardian House Party will be held at the Baptist Church on Cobra Street at 2pm on March 23. To make a booking contact Marjorie Blatch on 0427 669 104.
