Event Description:
With Dress Historian and Historical Clothing-Maker Melissa Shiels will showcase the clothing changes that a Georgian lady of the late 18th
century undertook for her various activities on any given day. This talk will highlight the hair & beauty regime of a Georgian lady, the underpinnings she wore, her activewear for exercise, for visiting and dining, and for the most opulent of occasions – going to the ball. The various activities and crafts with which a lady filled her day will be explored and the talk will finish with a demonstration of 18th century tea etiquette.
