Join Illinois State Museum Curator of History Erika Holst to learn about the clothing worn by 19th century women.  What kind of undergarments did they wear?  As women passed through various life stages and roles, what types of clothing did they wear at each stage?  This lecture is illustrated with examples of historic clothing from the Illinois State Museum’s historic garment collection.
