A Plethora of Petticoats

May 18 – October 10, 2019, new extended dates!

Discover the secret world of bum rolls and baby corsets…

Staged in the Victorian parlor of the 1833 Mixsell-Illick House at 4th and Ferry Streets in downtown Easton, this exhibition “undresses” the history of common undergarments, leisurewear, and more. We showcase an array of undergarments that created the fashionable silhouettes worn by Northampton County residents from the 1700s to the 1950s, along with some of the chic and comfortable at-home wear they donned as they relaxed or went about their daily tasks. Ooh, la, la!

The exhibition will be open from May 18, 2019 – October 10, 2019.

Tours are available by appointment or on Thursdays between 11:00 and 2:00. $7 with Sigal admission or $5 tour only. Call for pricing for large group tours.
