ASHLAND — Have you ever wondered how Victorian ladies of yesteryear put on all those layers of clothing?
Join the Ashland Historical Society as it presents “How Victorian Women Got Dressed,” a presentation by Winnifred Boynton and Julie Morrell, members of the Ashland Reenactors. The presentation will be held on Thursday, Sep. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Ashland American Legion, 37 Main Street. Admission is free of charge. Donations welcome.
Starting from her Victorian underwear, Winnifred’s daughter, Amanda Andriski, helps Winnifred undertake the feat of becoming a perfectly dressed lady, layer by layer. Julie’s fabulous narration will not only inform, but amuse!
The Ashland Reenactors date their fashions to 1868, the year Ashland separated from Holderness to form its own town. Gowns and accessories were made by both ladies.
