A Day in the Life of a Georgian Lady
Join Dress and Social Historian Dr Melissa Shiels as she showcases the different outfits a Georgian lady of the 1780s would have worn throughout her day. From hair and beauty routines and essential underpinnings to clothes for exercise, visiting, dining and attending an opulent ball, discover how fashion reflected the many activities of Georgian life.
The talk will also explore the crafts and pastimes with which a lady filled her day before finishing with a demonstration of the 18th-century tea etiquette. This 90-minute event takes place at the Bishop’s Palace on Wednesday, 19th August at 1 pm.
Tickets cost €5 per person in support of the Museum & Conversation Fund, and availability is limited.
