Lauren will be discussing the evolution of the corset from the 18th century through the 1920s. From stays to longlines, hourglass bones to girdleieres, this talk is a must attend for any fashion enthusiast or antique clothing lover! 

As an added treat, Lauren will be bringing a number of her original antique corsets for attendees to ogle. Her extensive collection features rare pieces rarely seen outside of a museum setting!
