Death Becomes Her: Women's Mourning Dress 1860-1919
Come explore
the exhibit and discover how mourning fashion, etiquette, and personal
expression shaped public displays of grief in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries.
Presented in
partnership with Jennifer Mower, PhD, Historic and Cultural Textiles and
Apparel Collection Manager and Design Instructor, the exhibition draws on her
research in historic fashion and cultural meaning. Developed with Dr. Mower and
her student Jake Wright, and with curatorial support from Benton County
Historical Society Curator of Exhibitions Natascha Adams, Death Becomes
Her invites visitors to consider how grief, gender, and tradition were
worn on the body.
