For this #FashionFriday, we look at a mid-19th century dress that kept us guessing.  While some objects are easy to read and date, others require a more in-depth look to understand the full life and story. Check out this week's Fashion Archives blog to see how we read between the seams to discover the life of a dress (link in bio).
