The Dressmaker's Art: Highlights of the Bruce Museum's Costume Collection
Friday August 13, 2010 from 10:00am - 5:00pm
Bruce Museum of Arts and Science
One Museum Dr.
Greenwich, Connecticut 06830 Get Directions
The exhibition examines a revolution in textile manufacture through two dozen elegant gowns along with lavishly decorative accessories dating from the Romantic through Victorian and Edwardian eras of the 19th and early 20th centuries, and ending with simpler but sparkling beaded dresses of the 1920s flapper era. The century presents a vast array of silhouettes and styles: from balloon-like "leg of mutton" sleeves to tight, restrictive sleeves; stiff high collars to wide, low necklines; bell-shaped hoop skirts to bustles and narrow "hobble" styles; and floor-brushing hemlines to leg-revealing short dresses.
