Federal Fashion: Lately Arrived in New London In-Person

While Europe’s drawing-rooms dressed Regency, we Americans were developing our own Federal style.  From the balmy ports of the Carolinas to the snowy harbors of New England, ships offloaded fabrics & fashion papers to a waiting audience of savvy consumers.  At home, textile production was growing apace, providing everyday fabrics as well as employment for countless citizens. Join the Dirty Blue Shirts for a show-and-feel of the clothing of the new Republic, the ways in which we stayed on top of European styles and the ways in which we made our own sartorial marks on the international scene.
