Summer Historical Presentation Series: Dressing in the 18th Century~PART I

Ca. 1745 "La Toilette", by François Boucher (Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid)

During August and early September this year (2022), as part of my historical interpretation work with the Town of Annapolis Royal, I'll be presenting a series of free talks on how women dressed in historical times.  See the copy of the flyer below for details of dates and times.  

Part I, which takes place on Saturday, August 20th beginning at 2:00 p.m. in Market Square in Annapolis Royal, will be a demonstration, using historically accurate reproduction garments (on a mannequin), of the typical fancy dress of a British middle to upper-middle class lady, around 1750 to 1755. 

The PDF document below provides descriptions and examples of the elements of dress of the period which I'll be displaying and discussing.  Download the PDF document for reference or -- if you have a mobile phone with you on which to download --  follow along if you are attending the talk.  

I hope to see you there!
