Discover how Victorian women reshaped fashion and themselves through an ever-changing parade of corsets, crinolines, bustles and petticoats. With humor, history and the chance to try on some garments, this fascinating presentation reveals how these undergarments transformed the female silhouette and why the secret to Victorian style was not the dress itself, but what was hidden underneath.
Afterwards, relax with friends and enjoy a delicious Devonshire tea.The presentation and afternoon tea are held in Flagstaff Hill’s theatrette and Visitor Centre, located within the main building. There is no need to walk down into the village, making the experience more accessible.
