Step back in time with Marie Bartlett of Historic Belle for a captivating journey through the fashion and social history of the 1700s! Focusing on the key periods from the 1740s to the 1790s, Marie will bring history to life layer by layer.

Witness a transformation as she expertly shows how the iconic silhouette of the era was achieved through various layers of clothing and accessories. Discover the secrets behind the structure and shape of this historical dress, and explore the social history stitched into every garment. The program will illustrate how global events—specifically the American and French Revolutions— reshaped the way people dressed. Appropriate for all ages.
