The exhibit “Embellishments: Constructing Victorian Detail” has extended its run at the University Museum through March 22, 2013. The Victorian-era garments and accessories on display explore the aesthetics of 19th-century clothing design and how their embellishments were constructed.

Guest curator Astrida Schaeffer will be on hand Thursday, Jan. 17, from 5 – 7 p.m. for an informal tour.

On Feb. 17, the Sewing Tree in Dover will co-sponsor a 6-hour hands-on Victorian techniques class. Details at www.thesewingtree.com.
