A Brief History of Underwear

This exhibit explores the changing shape of the female figure over the course of a century by displaying period  examples of foundation wear and the accompanying outfits that would have been worn over them.  Narrative panels delve into the history behind the creation of such commonly worn items as bloomers, chemises and petticoats.  Intrigued?  We certainly hope so!     Exhibit will run until September 2016. 

Not to be accused of leaving the gentleman behind we also have included a wool “combination suit” manufactured in Nova Scotia’s Stanfields Woolen Factory to our exhibit.
