Hands-On History: 19th Century Fashion with Elizabeth Tyra

Hands-On History: With Elizabeth Tyra
2 PM | February 8

How many layers of fabric were in your great-grandma’s wedding gown? Did it have pockets? Or a bodice lined with whalebone? Join Elizabeth Tyra (WHS, class of 2010) for a time-traveling conversation on the evolution of western bridal fashion, from colonial practicality through Victorian influence to modern expectations. Join us as we examine the stories within the seams, touch fabric swatches, and celebrate the Wayland Museum’s Red, White & ‘I Do’: An Exhibition of Wedding Dresses.

This event is supported by Wayland Rev250.
