The Cranford Historical Society invites you to a presentation of “How We Dress” on Sunday, September 23, 2018 from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. at the Hanson House, located at 38 Springfield Avenue. The Society’s popular costume curator, Gail Alterman, will demonstrate how a mid-19th century Victorian woman would get dressed, from the inside out, using reproduction garments. She will show you how clothing effected a woman’s posture and reflected her status in society. Original garments from the collection will be on view.
The program is free and open to the public. All are welcome. For more information, please contact The Cranford Historical Society at 908-276-0082 or by email at cranfordhistoricalsociety@verizon.net.
