While dressing the mannequin I discovered the sad fact that this gown is missing a piece. Probably a faux stomacher that would fit in the V shape. Fancy Dress Costume, 1890-2. American, Chamberlain. 6 Rockland St, Roxbury, MA. #historysky #fashionsky

Most of the time the late Georgian/Early Victorian wardrobe remains closed to visitors. The aim was to make it appear as if the three women just left after searching for something.

This past December I had the honor of creating a temporary exhibit in the main bedroom of the Nichols House Museum. Home to three very progressive women at the turn of the 20th century it was a delight to choose pieces that recreated their early adulthood in the house (1890s).

Hi Blue Sky.
Really excited to start something fresh. While my own area of study rarely overlaps with my work I’m hope to share more of it. Lots of social history and beautiful pieces from the 1% of Bostonians. Have a view from the office.
