    Improve listing Presented by

On Friday, January 24th, Storrowton Village Museum features Connecticut historian Kandie Carle’s presentation “The Victorian Lady,” highlighting fashion in the 1890s Gilded Age.

 The performance is not just a "fashion show" - rather, Ms. Carle takes the audience on a journey of discovery by using actual vintage and authentically reproduced undergarments, clothing and accessories as tools and explains how, when, and where they were appropriately worn.  She will also share insights into the lifestyle, manners, etiquette and customs of men, women and children of the era. 

The performance is designed for audiences of all ages, and interaction and questions will be encouraged throughout the show.

Event begins at 7:00pm, doors open at 6:45pm
