Reflecting Freedom: Female Fashion Through Time
Corsets and hoops and bustles -- oh my! Why did women wear such things? What was
up with those "ginormous" hats of 1900's? Why were some women called "flappers" in

trendy movie stars' clothing, current technology, society's views on women and even
women's fight for equality. Join us as we learn amazing facts about women's fashion,
investigate stylish silhouettes and even predict what fashions may look like in the
future! For students ages 12-15.
