Description
The style of historical Colorado women comes alive for the "Change of Seasons, Change of Clothes" doll exhibit at the McCarty-Fickel Home on June 10th at 7 p.m.
Representing notable women from Northern Colorado's past, the dolls are dressed in the finest hand-stitched outfits by Fran Robison of Loveland. Taking inspiration from women such as settler Margaret Osborn, or Anna Duffield, the first public librarian in the Loveland area, the dolls represent fashions from the 1860s to the 1920s. For "Change of Seasons, Change of Clothing," Robinson will be updating the dolls' dress to cool summer looks, including historically accurate undergarments, doll-sized hoop skirts, hats, and accessories. All the clothing is custom-designed for each doll and captures the intricate detailing of each era.
The event is free to attend, and wonderful, summery refreshments will help capture the spirit of a society event that might have taken place in the Front Range's past.
Event is held with support from the Ladies of Loveland
