Mourning fashion was at its peak during the reign of Queen Victoria. How you grieved was framed by rigid social expectations extending to the clothes you wore. Learn about the history of mourning dress with Dressed to Grieve: The Style of Sorrow in the Victorian Era, our special spooky season edition of The Language of Dalnavert, a lecture series with Dalnavert’s Collections Registrar, Inés Bonacossa.
The Language of Dalnavert: An Insider’s Perspective of the House and the Victorians is a monthly lecture series with our Collections Registrar, Inés Bonacossa. Each month, Inés will share her insight into different aspects of Dalnavert’s collection and Victorian culture.
