Colonial men who fought in the American Revolution are often pictured wearing tri-corner hats. We have all seen them. But what did the women wear? Renee Tuttle will answer this question Wednesday, April 8, at 7:00pm in the South Kingstown High School Auditorium.
Tuttle’s talk will discuss the dress of colonial women and touch on hair and cosmetics or the lack thereof. Her talk is the fourth in the South Kingstown 250th Anniversary Speaker Series.
Renee Tuttle has worked at Colonial Williamsburg’s Costume Design Center and with their 18th historic clothing collection. She completed her Master of Science in Historic Textiles and Dress at the University of Rhode Island, Department of Textiles, Fashion, Merchandizing, and Design.
She has meticulously recreated reproductions of 18th century garments for her personal collection.
