 Gallery Reception Friday, May 24, 2013, 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Talk by curator Molly McPherson at 7:00 p.m.

Period dress speaks of the wearer and the decades past.  Recreating historical garments allows us to learn about sewing and design.  This exhibit features both original historial garments and reproductions, telling the story of fashion in the Midwest.  Molly McPherson curates Constructing History:  Structures and Silhouettes in partial fulfillment of her thesis work.
