Centuries of Style: Edinburgh's new 'historical dress experience' letting you take to the streets of New Town in 18th century fashions
Pauline McPherson has created the ‘historical dress experience’ for fashion and history lovers like herself in the heart of Georgian Edinburgh.
Ms McPherson, a Masters student in Dress and Textiles Histories at the University of Glasgow, took the leap this Spring and decided to bring her idea of a classic Georgian fashion extravaganza to life in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town.
Inspired by a trip to Bath, the 55-year-old wanted to offer women with an interest in Georgian or Edwardian fashion – or those simply in search of a fun, cultural and historical experience in the city – the chance to sample the fashions and customs of 18th and 19th century Edinburgh.
