She will discuss the dress of the colonists as well as resources for researching and recreating their clothing.

Ms. Matusiewicz is a graduate of Bard College and The University of Connecticut and has been researching and reproducing historic clothing for over a decade.  Her research has led her to reproduce clothing from the medieval period through the twentieth century.  She has written on the topic and presented on New Netherland at the Textile History Forum.
