The Victorian Days in Marstrand are shaped by many things, including the pleasant music and all the actors. But these wouldn't be anything without their beautiful attire inspired by early 20th-century fashion. The clothes create an authentic atmosphere and give you as a visitor an even better Victorian experience. If you want to learn more about the clothing worn during the last turn of the century, you now have the opportunity to do so.
On January 23rd at 6:00 PM, the tailor and designer Anette Sörgren will hold a lecture at Mimers Hus in Auditorium 2. The lecture is about period-appropriate clothing for the early 20th century and how to sew them.
