Fall Forum – Fashioning the Body: Dress in New England 1600–1900
Fashion has garnered great interest in recent decades and research into the history of clothing has yielded new insights into culturally embedded ideas around self-styling and the body. Yet, few studies have explored New England’s relationship with styling the body and fashionable dress. This forum will convene a group of experts in the field to explore the rich history of dressing the body and self-presentation in this region.
