Follow us this summer as we share some behind the scenes photos from our Fashion Archives summer internship! This week, interns helped to stabilize and dress six new dresses for our Civil War exhibition, reopening July 11! Each dress needed a custom mount and skirt support to recreate how it would have looked during the Civil War. Photo 1: 1946.54.12 Mourning dress, Gift of the Rodgers Family of Sion Hill. Photo 2: Afternoon dress, c.1862, 1977.103.5 Gift of Mr. J.
