WMGS April Meeting

April 6, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Please join us for our monthly meeting.  Maureen Taylor, The Photo Detective, will join us virtually to present Buns, Beards, Bodices and Bustles: Understanding Ancestors Through Clothing.

Ancestral fashions and the industry that produced them left behind a fascinating legacy of images and information.

  • Paris fashion in America: north, south, east and west interpretations
  • Fashion icons from Charles Dickens to stage star Lillie Langtry
  • Fashion foibles and practical pastimes: how our ancestors designed and hand-crafted accessories.
  • What’s old is new and what’s new is old? Repeating fashion trends and how to read the clues
  • Labor records relating to hat, hair and accessory factories and home-work
