From the Preservation Society of Newport County:
“”Newport Undressed” Exhibit Opens at Rosecliff
Get a close up look at Gilded Age fashion, from the women who spent massive sums on custom-made gowns, to the Paris couture houses that dressed them in such high style.
This year’s costume exhibit at Rosecliff, Newport Undressed: Crafting the Gilded Age Wardrobe, provides a glimpse into the social climate that required elaborate seasonal wardrobes. Curated by textile conservator Jessica Urick, the exhibit also explores the materials and sewing techniques used to hand-craft garments. On display at Rosecliff through mid-November, the exhibit is included with the regular house admission.”
