Costume Accessories: Head to Toe is designed to complement the newest exhibition in the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum. Fashion Accessories from Head to Toe features Williamsburg's collection of men's and women's hats, gloves, purses, handkerchiefs, pockets, shoes, stockings, jewelry, and wigs from about 1650 to 1850. These objects, presented generally in chronological order, are accompanied by large-scale reproductions of period images showing similar pieces in use. Invited scholars from the United States, Canada, and England will present 10 lectures over two and a half days. A day of hands-on workshops and related behind-the-scenes tours will follow. This symposium will explore the production, consumption, and historic value of these varied objects of personal adornment. The two-day seminar, A Reconstructed Visitable Past: Re-created Period Attire at Historic Sites, will take place on Thursday and Friday.
