Costume historian and designer Carrie Midura will unpack the recreated wardrobe of fashion-forward ladies of quality in the early 19th century. With the modeling help of actress Macey Jennings, this interactive presentation features the many layers of clothing that would have been worn while being entertaining in stylish drawing rooms, including the home of Rebecca and Christopher Gore. Get a front row seat to see all the fashions and finery, from unmentionables like a corset and garters, to the finishing touches of reticules and bonnets.


Cost is $3o per person (Individual bottle of wine and snack included). Capacity is limited to 45. Advance online tickets required by Wednesday, October 7, 2020. To order, visit: www.goreplace.org/whats-on/handsomely-attired
