Victorian Clothing in our Collection
If
you haven't been to the Museum yet this year we really suggest that you
take a trip back in time through fashion as shown with this display
created by our member Rebecca Bristow-Horning. The display will be
complimented by a presentation on June 28, in the Museum Church, see the
following:
All Shall be Revealed
Where
can you find the answer to Victoria's secret? What is a reticule? What
made a bustle, bustle. What did they wear underneath that.....hair.
The answers to these and many other quaint questions will be addressed in a presentation at the
Sanilac
County Historical museum on June 28th at the museum church. Glenna Jo
Christen will bring her collection of antique clothing to illustrate her
stories of their scarlet past. Glenna ties together Victorian history
with its apparel like the ribbons on a civil war bonnet.
Over
a period of some years, her presentations have given insight into
Victorian life to many audiences in the Detroit area.She will showcase
some of the fabulous garments discovered in the dusty corners of the
SCHM mansion's third floor. And they are fabulous!
Our
museum is so fortunate to possess this collection of antique garments,
and we are thrilled to have Glenna give us details about their past.
Perhaps
we might have the honor of a visit from Dr. and Mrs. Loop. Answers to
bustles and reticules are certain to be revealed, but a visit from the
Loops? Let's just say, it's a Victorian secret.
