Conversations with a Curator: #YesterdayInMicrofashion

Event Details

Historically, Charleston has set the standard for Southern fashion, for both young and old. #YesterdayInMicrofashion: 150 Years of Charleston's Children explores the evolution of children's fashion in Charleston and the Lowcountry through more than a century of fashionable outfits, worn by the smallest of Charleston's residents. With over 50 garments from every milestone of a child's life including christening gowns, mourning wear, fancy dress and skeleton suits, this exhibition will turn the idea of "tradition" in terms of children's clothing, upside down as it explores dresses worn by boys, the boots worn by girls and the colors worn by both. Join Curator of Historic Textiles, Teresa Teixeira, for an in-depth look at #YesterdayInMicrofashion: 150 Years of Charleston's Children.
