FREE National Trust Members Event

VIC

Uncover the hidden stories woven into historical garments at the stunning Labassa Mansion, exclusively for National Trust Members.

Join one of our expert educators as we take a deep dive into historical clothing, dating back as far as the 1830s.

Through an exploration of styles, restrictions, silhouettes, manufacturing methods, and societal pressures, you’ll gain a unique perspective on the lives of women and girls from the past.

Don a pair of gloves and get hands-on as you examine these remarkable garments up close. This fascinating experience offers a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship and cultural history behind the clothes of another era.
