Learn more! Clothing history is fascinating \u2013 and fun. In over 30 years as the designer and researcher for Lavender\u2019s Green Historic Clothing, I have learned so much. Over the years I have presented stories, pictures, and examples of fashions from history. Whether it\u2019s an afternoon teatime program, a daylong class, or a historic immersion weekend, I would love to help you discover the romance and human connection to the people of the past \u2013 through their clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1909 School<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

This is my own pet project, based on my very favorite year in fashion history. By 1909 the world was about to change forever, but for just a few years during the Edwardian Era, American women seemed to have everything going for them. In many states, women were already voting, and public opinion was turning toward the idea of universal women\u2019s suffrage. The new craftsman-style houses featured simple, open floor plans and built-in nooks. There were modern conveniences: telephones, automobiles, and even washing machines! There were clothes for all occasions, from sports to careers to elegant dinner parties; the styles seemed to make every woman look elegant. Popular women\u2019s magazines brought the wider world to your living room or front porch. Through the workshops of The 1909 School<\/em>, I have tried to capture the essence of that hopeful time to share with my students. (We have not met in person since 2020, but I hope that we will revive the program soon.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
