Quilted Fashion

This exhibition explores the use of quilting to decorate bed coverings, clothing, and accessories of the 17th and 18th centuries. See detailed drawings of elaborate quilting patterns that often are obscured by the technique's subtlety. Stomachers and petticoats worn with costly gowns, men’s elaborate waistcoats, and counterpanes on the finest beds all are featured. October 18, 2008 through February 2010.  Opens Saturday, October 18, 2008
