Whatever Shall I Wear?: Women’s Clothing during the American Revolution

Clothing is personal and indicates social standing, fashion, and taste. What was worn in colonial America? Where did women get their clothing? How do we research historic dress? Join us for an illustrated lecture on women’s clothing in the late 18^th century and learn how to research and assemble a reproduction wardrobe for use at museums and historical reenacting.

Professional historian VivianLea Solek is active in Revolutionary War reenacting as a member of the Brigade of the American Revolution. In this capacity, she has served as the coordinator for the civilian members of the organization, developing workshops and providing guidance to members on their clothing and equipment. She also is a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

As seating is limited, please reserve by March 19^th by calling Patricia Rist at 203 743-5893 or email to info@bethelhistoricalsociety.com Refreshments will be served.
