Lakewood Ranch's Christy Carey went all out for her Gatsby-themed outfit.

She wasn't alone.
Almost every one of the more than 300 guests dressed in 1920s fashion for Sisterhood for Good's Gatsby Speakeasy Soirée on Feb. 17 at the Hyatt Regency in Sarasota.
"It's great to see everybody looking all fun and glittery," said Lakewood Ranch's Maria MacDonald. "Everybody is dressed for the occasion."
