February: What Shall We Wear Today? A Regency Wardrobe
What Shall We Wear Today is a look the world of fashion from 1790 through 1825, an era of revolution and empire. Fashion reflected the political, cultural and technological changes that shaped this period, particularly in England, France and the United States, and reflected a transition from the Age of Enlightenment to the Age of Romanticism. Chalk full of details and trivia, the class provides exercises that allow you to integrate what you learn into your own writing and some hands-on encounters with the accessories of the day.
Lessons will cover costume and social position, popular fabrics and colors, women’s fashion, men’s fashion, undergarments, accessories, and the costumes of children, servants and the military.
Our presenter Sandra Brands has made historical costumes for pirates, lords and ladies, elves, fairies and those who eat breakfast at Tiffany’s. For four years, she was in charge of costuming for high school musicals, including “Once Upon a Mattress,” “42nd Street” and “Crazy for You.”

What do I do if I do not receive an E-vite?
