Afternoon Tea and Period Fashion Show covering six decades, 1880-1930, with a special focus on the undergarments worn to achieve the highly stylized fashions of the day. Live female and male models (both in full dress and undergarments) and period musical entertainment will take you back to the days of corsets and crinolines, garters and spats, bustles and bowlers.
