Whether you fancy your style as grunge, chic, sophisticated, retro or outlandish, the upcoming costume sale at Sonoma State University will likely have that perfect garment to round out a wardrobe.
For five days from Aug. 22-25, the Evert B. Person stage on the SSU campus is transformed into one giant clothes rack. Actually 28 clothes racks to be exact. Sale schedule is: Wednesday, Aug. 22, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Thursday, Aug. 23, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Friday, Aug. 24, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday, Aug. 25, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
"We've got renaissance, fantasy, a wedding dress, a rabbit's head and so much more. This is the largest sale the Costume Department has ever had and we have cleaned out the warehouse for this one," says Costume Shop director Pam Johnson. "We did such a good job that this is our last sale for at least three years."
If you want to be chic, check out the top hat, tails and sequin gowns. Leaning more to the outlandish, go with the blond wig and that sassy cocktail number with a feather boa. For sophisticates, there is a lovely ball gown with a wrap-around fur or a stylized suit.
Feeling grunge? Go with the old uniforms - Army, Navy and Marine - that will make a statement. For a little retro feel go with the cool ties and shoes, add a fabulous hat and the look comes together.
Parking at the University is free on the weekends and $2.50 during the week. The Evert B. Person Theatre is wheelchair accessible. The University is located at 1801 E. Cotati Ave., Rohnert Park.
