Civil War Fashion Try-on 2012
Once again we all had a fantastic time at Saturday’s “Civil War Living History Event: Fashion Try-On,” Our friends from the Carolina Ladies Aid Society brought a plentiful
supply of dresses and accessories for women, coats and hats for the men,and period style outfits for the children. They helped Museum visitors dress as they would have in the mid 19th century. Nearly 100 people came between 10:00 and 2:00, donning hoop skirts and Civil War uniform coats and posing for their own cameras or the museum photographer.
Set in front of a draped backdrop, these modern people were transformed
into solemn civilians or soldiers of the Civil War period. They
discovered the joys (or woes) of wearing a big hoop or heavy wool coat
and perhaps felt just a little bit different than when they arrived in
blue jeans and t-shirts.
