Survey of Women’s Clothing 1860–1930
An interactive Talk with Joanne Venart
Sunday, August 3rd • 3:00 – 4:30 PM
Court House Museum, 16 Courthouse Road, Village of Gagetown, NB E5M 1A4
Join us for a captivating talk with Joanne Venart, retired professional costumer and educator, as we explore how fashion both shaped — and was shaped by — society, technology, and the evolving roles of women from the 1860s to the 1930s.
From cage crinolines to flapper fringe, this presentation uncovers the many layers of historical dress: underpinnings, silhouettes, hats and bonnets, footwear, and accessories. Drawing on garments featured in the Summer Exhibition at the Queens County Museum, the talk reveals how clothing reflected not just style, but politics, technology, and personal identity.
Whether you’re a history lover, fashion student, costumer, or curious visitor, you’ll gain new insight into one of the most dynamic eras in fashion history.
