Living History: What Lies Beneath: Victorian Layers

A Walla Walla Sweet Onion may have many layers, but a smartly dressed Victorian era genteel lady may have more. Some of you have heard described the many layers of clothing a woman of the 1880s had to wear to be considered properly dressed. Fashion and function both feature an appearance in this ensemble. Come watch as the layers are thoroughly explained as they are removed down to intimate garments. Of course, the disrobing will be done in the most modest and ladylike manner and is guaranteed to be a family friendly performance. Join us for an hour of entertainment and education about the delicate nature of Victorian era modesty and style. Historical re-enactor, Living History performer, and historical fashion maven Diane Somerville will lead this educational Living History event.
