I'm a graduate student at FIT in the Fashion and Textile Studies: History, Theory, and Museum Practice program. Here I will be posting pictures of artifacts along with the labels I might give them in a museum setting.

Marc and I got 19 out of 20 with the two of us working together.  We had a bit of an advantage because we know what to look for to identify reenactors.  The clues are subtle, but they’re there.  Tell me how you did!

20/20!  Mostly my criteria were “does this outfit/hairstyle/facial hair look absolutely horrible to my modern eye?” and “would someone in the period have bothered to take this picture?”
