I am a member of the Alpine County Historical Society and in this month's newsletter, their scheduled Quarterly Meeting & Potluck topic was too inciting to miss: How undergarment style has shaped and changed throughout history.
Jan and Chris were totally up for learning about underwear! We began in the darling town of Markleeville for drinks at the Cutthroat Saloon (1862). Drinking in history is always fun.
The presenter was Jan Loverin, the curator of the Marjorie Russell Clothing and Textile Research Center in Carson City. She was a wealth of knowledge and shared in a very entertaining and informative way.
According to Jan, "Dress embodies humanity and it's worthwhile to have a framework to understand that." The use and style of underwear say much about our history and we left knowing way more about this topic than we ever thought possible!
