On Exhibit at the Richmond Hill Heritage CentreFebruary 24 - December 15

The time of Queen Victoria's reign was a time of considerable changes including women's fashions. As the dress changed shape, the undergarments also changed to give a woman the desired and fashionable silhouette.

This exhibit explores the various stages of a woman's dress in the 19th century.
