The delightful Abigail Field, a student of history and appreciator of historical female fashion, gave a presentation on women’s fashion from the World War I era at the Mattapoisett Museum on September 8. Dressed in clothing and jewelry typical of the period between 1910-1920, Field discussed the war’s impact on the evolution of women’s fashion, the ensuing concept of comfortable clothing, and the male-dominance of the fashion industry.
