Current Highlights on View

​

A Stitch in Time showcases fashionable clothing of the period, with highlights from the Museum's collection of historical garments, while  further exploring "behind the seams" to relate these garments to the Meadowlands and its surrounding cities that contributed to the fashion industry.

 

As distinguishing stylistic elements from 1890-1915 are noted, so too are the factories and mills producing textiles, notions, and clothing embellishment of the Meadowlands area.
