Coffee Hour with CMCH: From Hoopskirts to Flappers

April 2, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

A woman born in 1850 who lived for 80 years would have seen fashion change dramatically in her lifetime. This program will walk you through our Costume and Textile collection to see how women’s clothing transitioned from the iron reign of the hoopskirt to the relative freedom of the flapper dress.

Free for CMCH members; $5 for non-members.  Click here to register with Yapsody. You’ll get a registration receipt with the Zoom link. At noon of the day of the program, you’ll get a reminder email from CMCH, also with the link to the Zoom meeting. Please do not share that link with anyone! It’s unique to you.
