Event Description: Costume designer and historian Barbara Meyer Darlin presents “The Gibson Girl Friday Meets the Victorian Lady,” an on-stage transformation from society lady to the white-collar working girl of 1900. Darlin demonstrates what it was like for Victorian women to go to work every day wearing corsets and layers of tight, restrictive clothing. She compares that life to a society lady’s leisurely lifestyle and glamorous but torturous fashions. She changes outfits from office clerk to wealthy lady, showing two completely different fashion looks from the turn-of-the-century, complete with unmentionables. Tea, sandwiches and desserts will be served in Paulsdale’s parlor.
