"Yesterday and Today, the Victorian Way...What's Under YOUR Dress?" offers the participating audience an opportunity to compare undergarments throughout history. From fig leaf to thong, women's underwear has lived a life of its own, linking to fascinating and humorous historic events. There is no doubt that the Victorians are truly responsible for the advent of many of today's pieces of lingerie and underwear in a modern woman's life. Cosmetics and beauty tips have been on women's lips since way before the Eyptians. See it first hand! Learn and laugh! Accompanying this program is an exhibit of lingerie and undergarments from throughout history. Do you remember the girdles your mother and grandmother wore? It's all tied together...under somebody's dress! "Treasures from My Trunk...Let's Travel" takes the audience on a trip with trunks and satchels, ready packed and ready to go! What would you pack in your suitcase today if you were going on a trip? What would Sarah Downly pack for her train ride trip in 1885? Audience members get to unpack and learn...there's no such thing as packing lightly as a Victorian. Come and take a peak for yourself! (This program addresses travel in the 1800's including transportation methods, hardships, and traveler expectations....so different from today. Programs can be adapted for audience age appropriateness.)
