Victorian Clothing

What kind of clothes did the Victorian Arkansan wear? Were dresses copied from the covers of French couture magazines or simply modified family hand-me-downs? Were men's lapels large or small, or not at all? The Victorian Clothing loan box details a century of fashion styles (both men's and women's) and etiquette, spanning from 1800 to 1900. Whether a 'leg-of-mutton' blouse, a corset or a hat stretcher, children of all ages will delight in the beautiful reproduction clothing and gasp in astonishment at some of the 'unusual' functions of these garments.
