COMMENTARY

online costume movies Historic Deerfield has put online a 5 minute clip from Martha Stewart’s tv show about Fashion Fantasy, the paper 18th century dresses made by Edward Maedar. There is a nice Flash movie about the Shaping Fashions exhibit at the Fairfield (Conn.) Historical Society — to view, click here, then click on the “Shaping Fashion” text (in the purple box) on the top right.

• The Historic Northampton (Mass.) Museum has two videos online — an interview with the curator of their exhibit Her Best Foot Forward: Women’s Shoes in America, 1765-1930, and a documentary about the history of silk in Northampton.

Happy watching!
