Embellishment: Gilding The Lily in the Garment Industry

Fabric and cut may be the foundation of the best clothes, but it takes a little added flash to make that garment a memorable one.

Come learn about the ways that we use beading, threadwork, and trims to adorn ourselves. Whether it's Victorian lace, flapper beads or hippie fringe, you'll see that style is all in the details.

Beautiful Chaos: How Crazy Quilts (Briefly) Took Over America
Monday 19 January 15 7:30 pm
From the Industrial Revolution to the end of the Golden Age, the richly decorated Crazy quilt could be found draped over everything from couches to coffins. With thick embroidery and lush fabrics, this motley technique became popular enough to influence mass media, advertising, and textile manufacturing. Breaking every rule of traditional quiltwork, Crazy quilts were American women's answer to the constrictions of the Victorian age.

Fashions of the First World War
Monday 25 August 14 10:00 am
This presentation will focus on World War I and Dress Reform
Apparel, dress and fashion always reflect the political and social landscape of the era. The Great War brought profound and lasting changes in Canadian dress particularly for women. Prior to the war, women were heavily corseted under many layers. After the war women of the 1920s were, by contrast, in lightweight, loose-fitting garments masking the female figure. This presentation discusses the changes and the factors which made the changes happen. Examples of garments worn during the era will be modeled by museum volunteers.
Seating is limited and pre-registration is required for all classes by calling 204-475-0483 or registering online at www.mcnallyrobinson.com under the Community Classroom tab. Each class is $20 per person. All classes will take place in the Community Classroom inside McNally Robinson Booksellers located at 1120 Grant Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
