Nov. 5, 2005 Victorian Dress presentation by Lynne Wright

On November 15, 2005 following the regular business meeting of the AGS, Ms. Lynne Wright, Executive Director of Abbotsford's MSA Museum was gracious enough to take the time to make a presentation on Victorian dress.  While her presentation was on all aspects of Victorian dress, its primary focus was on what the typical lady would wear and have to go through with the help of a servant to be ready to meet fashionable society.

In the following pictures, Ms. Wright plays the part of the servant as she dresses her lovely assistant.
