A Lady Never Tells

Join The National Arts Club and Erika Holst, Curator of History at the Illinois State Museum, for a presentation on nineteenth century women’s undergarments: what they were, how they were put on, and how they changed over time.

This revealing program corresponds with Holts’s exhibit Fashioning Illinois. Individual types of women’s undergarments of the era will be presented using images and demonstration. See how chemises, drawers, corsets, and petticoats fit the ritual of getting dressed for women at various ages and life stages.
