Eddie Bauer, JCPenny, Wrangler—these are the labels you’ll spot in The NYHS’s latest exhibition, which opens today.
Eddie Bauer, JCPenny, Wrangler—these are the labels you’ll spot in The New York Historical Society’s latest exhibition, “Real Clothes, Real Lives: 200 Years of What Women Wore, the Smith College Historic Clothing Collection,” which opens today. But, in fact, most of the pieces presented bear no label whatsoever. Lest we forget, the garb of most women throughout history came not from fashion houses but from home sewers or local dressmakers.
Displayed on a mannequin, the dress is surrounded by additional tidbits communicated on the plexiglass that surrounds the garment. With these exhibition clues, we’re told how the loose sleeves of the gown were not due to a lack of tailoring abilities but were made to allow its wearer to push up their sleeves. A nearby photo of a contemporaneous textile mill worker displays the look in situ.
