About this event
A woman born in 1850 who lived for 80 years would have seen fashion change dramatically in her lifetime. In this special tour of our Costume and Textile Collection, you’ll see how women’s clothing transitioned from the iron reign of the hoopskirt to the relative freedom of the flapper dress. Advance registration is required — space is limited! We’re also offering this tour on September 20 – click here. Questions?
