Join us as we lace up and dive in to the world of our favorite antique underpinning -- the corset -- in our next Absinthe Afterhours Event Series in our Richmond, VA storefront!
We are excited to have fashion historian and seamstress Lauren Rossi (aka Virtuous Courtesan) here to share her extensive knowledge and personal collection with us!
Lauren will be discussing the evolution of the corset from the 18th century through the 1920s. From stays to longlines, hourglass bones to girdleieres, this talk is a must attend for any fashion enthusiast or antique clothing lover!
As an added treat, Lauren will be bringing a number of her original antique corsets for attendees to ogle. Her extensive collection features rare pieces rarely seen outside of a museum setting!
Talk will take place on Friday, July 24 at 6:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
The lecture will take place in our shop, located at 209 N. 3rd St., Richmond, VA 23219. There is free street parking after 6 p.m. and all attendees will have the opportunity to shop following the discussion.
Seating for this event is limited, so do not wait to purchase tickets!

About the Speaker
"I am the happiest when I am working with my hands. I find sewing- especially hand sewing or embroidery to be extremely meditative and therapeutic. My hands will be busy but my mind is free. My favorite time period is the late 18th century-The late 19th century is right behind it. (but the 1920s is quickly taking over) I love vintage photo booths, collecting antique corsets and estate sales."
