Speaking of Unmentionables: The Rise and Fall of Ladies Underware
Women's
fashions are shaped, literally and figuratively, by their underclothes.
Throughout history a woman's frame has not always been entirely her own. Delicate pieces of linen and lace, stiff
corsets and sturdy hoops and bustles are fascinating to modern eyes. They are
the unseen history of a past era. Modern
contrivances are no less remarkable. Who
in the world thought of control-top pantyhose? This novel and sometimes naughty
presentation taught by Elizabeth Carlson will unveil some myths about women's
unmentionables. Registration is $10 member; $12 non-member.
