What was it like for a Victorian Woman to get dressed? What all really went under those clothes? And how do we even know this? Amy Liebert will get dressed in the style of an early Victorian Woman, discussing the various layers that went into creating the 19th century silhouette, including petticoats, drawers, and corset. This presentation will also include a show-and-tell with antique clothing. Amy will also talk about the process of researching historical clothing, and recommend some good sources and further reading if you are interested in learning more. This presentation will include time for questions and answers.
