| The study of costume - fabrics, style, construction and cut - informs us of both a fashion and social history, and provides a refreshing and enlightening look at human history. The costume collection at the Museum of the Rockies spans from the 1860s to the 1960s and marks the earliest settlement in the Gallatin Valley.
Underpinnings are the foundation upon which the shape of fashion is built, and similarly reflect the swing of the fashion pendulum. Perhaps more fascinating than the costume itself, these foundations for The Shape of Fashion reflect more earnestly the essence of the feminine realm. From a tight corset and layer upon layer of undergarments to a simple brassiere, the transition in women's foundations tells the story of their journey toward liberation.
