Meetup at Lacis Museum for a special tour!

Join us for a special tour of the exhibit "Day's End: Personal Glamour Exposed," currently on display at Lacis Museum in Berkeley. Erin Algeo, dress historian and adjunct professor at the California College of the Arts, will be on hand to give us a personal tour of this special show featuring vintage garments worn at home and in the bedroom, everything from lace-adorned nightdresses and elegant dressing gowns to smoking jackets and a 18th-century banyan.

We'll get an intimate look at these lovely vintage ensembles as well as a bed cover, crazy quilt, and quilt sampler.

Depending on space, we may split the group in two and have one half tour the exhibit while the rest browse the retail shop downstairs, which features a wide variety of supplies for needle arts (embroidery, crochet, lace, knitting, etc.), millinery, and corset making as well as ribbons, lace, vintage clothing, vintage notions, and so much more. There is a lot to explore.

Note: Space is limited to 40. If you no longer attend, please update your RSVP so someone else can take your place. Please join the wait list and I can let Lacis know that we have more members interested in a tour.
