Ever wondered what is under those huge 1860’s dresses, or wanted to see original garments? This presentation by Colleen L. Pappas of Herstory Handcrafts will present a display from her collection of nearly 100 original pieces of clothing and accessories - from underpinnings to outerwear, from day wear to night wear, and from shoes to bonnets. She will discuss the influences on fashion in the first half of the 1860’s and how it changed during the Civil War.
