Vintage dresses from throughout the 20th century, including pieces from Adolfo, Chanel and Valentino, will be featured in a benefit fashion show today in Bellevue.

A sale of vintage and previously owned formal dresses will accompany the shows at Lake Sammamish Foursquare Church, 14434 N.E. 8th St.

The vintage dresses are mostly from the lifelong collection of Redmond resident Julie Brunk, a former wedding dress designer in Los Angeles. She and her husband, Curt Brunk, are pastors of Lake Sammamish Foursquare Church.

The dresses in the shows date from the early 1900s to the present. Several pieces are classic dresses from the 1930s that were owned by Julie Brunk’s great aunt.

Designers include Armani, Pauline Trigere, Risuleo, Valentino and Vivienne Westwood.

The show and sale starts at noon and includes lunch. Tickets cost $15, with senior citizens admitted for $12.
