Wilton Historical Society Hosts Victorian "Get Ready With Me” 19th Century Fashion Lecture on Saturday, April 19 at 2pm.
Modern fashion influencers invite viewers to “get ready with me” – an opportunity for an inside look at their wardrobe choices and styling for days at the office, Sunday brunch, dinner dates, and more. While there was no social media in the late 19th century, people considered a balance of form, function, and social expectations when putting together an outfit.
On Saturday, April 19th at 2 PM, join the Wilton Historical Society for a lecture from historical costume designer and fashion historian Jessica Bolduc as they discuss what it took for someone in the Victorian era to get dressed and ready for the day. The lecture will cover the evolving nature of fashion throughout the second half of the 1800’s using examples from the Wilton Historical Society’s museum collection as well as recreations from Jessica.
