Ashley Hasty, lecturer in Indiana University’s Department of Apparel Merchandising and Interior Design, will discuss the apparel pictured in a 19th century Wylie family photograph. This time period is marked by the caged crinoline which created the ever-expanding large skirts but provided relief from wearing numerous petticoats. A photograph of Arthur and Margaret (Wylie) Mellette provides the perfect subject for exploring mid-19th century fashion.
