Night Out.
About this Event
During the Georgian, Regency and Victorian Eras strict
social restrictions kept couples from opportunities for
interaction and flirtation. A gentleman had to write a poem
to declare his love for a woman. Romantic access during this
dance of courtship was difficult so clever women resorted to
using their fashion accessories to convey messages of interest
and admiration…without saying a word!
Join costume Historian Lois Valeo for another Fashion
Night Out. Enjoy an illustrated talk about this intriguing
secret language. Wonderful pieces from our Collection will
be on display. Learn how stylish women used parasols, fans
and handkerchiefs to transmit their secret desires…without
saying a word!
