I had the pleasure of speaking to the Niagara Historical Society Museum in Niagara-on-the-Lake a couple of nights ago. Their current feature exhibition is called From Head to Toe and highlights some of the best fashion treasures from their collection. Some of my favourites included two dresses worn by sisters who were photographed wearing the dresses; a brown and black striped silk dress by Charles Worth from the 1870s, an 1880s grey silk taffeta, black lace and steel beaded dress, and a paisley mantle with applied beadwork. The exhibition closes October 31 .
