Join us January 24 2pm for a virtual meeting! Fashion Forensics: How a Dress Historian Analyzed Five Extant Regency Gowns Five regency gowns with no known provenance or documentationwhat’s a dress historian to do? Well, imagine your favorite forensics investigation show, only if it were set in a museum, and you won’t be too far off. JASNA member and dress historian Alyssa C. Opishinski faced such a challenge when she was tasked with researching five stunning, but essentially... undocumented, regency gowns for the Historical Society of Old Yarmouth as part of her Master’s studies at the University of Rhode Island. This presentation will explain the methods that were used, from photo microscopy to embodied illustrations, to discover what secrets these extant gowns may hold. Estimated time: 1 hour, with time for questions. Registration is required, and limited to 300 participants.
