“Gatsby’s Gala: Fashions from the Roaring Twenties,” the new exhibit at the Fairport Museum (18 Perrin Street) opens on March 19 and will run through June 30.
The “Roaring Twenties” was an exciting time in American history. As the citizens of the United States celebrated the end of the Great War, America’s women were celebrating their newly-acquired right to vote. The 1920s was a decade of liberation for women, who were no longer bound by the constraints of the past. Necklines were lowered, hemlines were raised, and ladies from all social classes bobbed their hair.
The twelve dresses which are showcased in this new exhibit feature sumptuous velvets and silk satins, many of which are heavily beaded in the style of the day. All of the dresses are from the collection of the Perinton Historical Society.
Admission to the museum is free and all are welcome during regular museum hours. For more information, visit: www.perintonhistoricalsociety.org
