There's a very interesting show of 19th century garments at the Shippensburg University Fashion Archives. Though the museum is a little difficult to get to, it's great to look at clothes there because they're not in glass cases and you can get a close view from several angles. Curator Dr. Karin Bohleke keeps upgrading this small museum. The current show "Nineteenth- Century Costume Treasures of the Fashion Archives and Museum" is beautifully mounted on brand-new mannequins that were styled with the guidance of expert Colleen Callahan. The show runs through December 8. Shippensburg is near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania - a lovely part of the country.
Karin Bohleke has created a stunning catalogue for this show. It's for sale on the SUFAM web site, where you can see quite a few pages from it. Have a look. http://webspace.ship.edu/fasharch/onlinestore.html Martha _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
