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
