Description
One of the most universally debated topics in fashion is the Woman’s Pocket, or current lack thereof. Over the last three centuries, we have seen women’s pockets evolve dramatically and rapidly. While recently deinstalling a mid 19th century piece from the current exhibit "Divided Voices: Maryland in the Civil War" to allow for a new rotation of gowns to be displayed, I was struck by the prominently placed, deep pockets on the gown.
