Description

Historical reproductions of Edna St.Vincent Millay's clothing created by Yesha West and the subject of her lecture at the Islesboro Historical Society, June 25, 2025: "Between the Lines:The Clothing of Edna St.Vincent Millay." The reproduced outfits include a pair of combinations, a corset cover, a 1910s corset, a 1914 tan linen dress, and a 1925 publicity suit. All the items were created on an early 20th-century sewing machine and using historically accurate hand- sewing techniques. On display in the museum courtesy of Yesha West.
