Unlacing the Victorian Woman

This year’s annual Victorian Tea and Luncheon features an entertaining living history lecture and performance about the private life of a fashionable Victorian lady — with an onstage costume change presented by costume designer and historian, Barbara Meyer Darlin. She will change into the outfits worn by a turn-of-the-century lady in a typical day, and model two ensembles for day wear, complete with all the unmentionables. Throughout the program, Ms. Darlin will explain the role of women in Victorian society, including daily routines, social customs and etiquette.

The event will be held at Skytop Lodge in Skytop, Pa. Social hour begins at 1 p.m., with luncheon served at 2 p.m. The outstanding menu begins with a fresh mesculin green salad and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Fresh fruit kabobs in a mint-yogurt sauce will accompany tea sandwiches featuring cucumber, cream cheese & watercress and chicken and apple salad. Baskets will overflow with scones, muffins, and quick breads topped with your choice of fresh jams, preserves, orange marmalade and lavender-clover honey sweet butter. A delicious assortment of desserts including petit pastries, cannolis, and chocolate mousse tarts will complete the meal.

Wear your prettiest hat! Vintage clothing is encouraged!

RESERVATIONS WITH PAYMENT will be accepted until March 15.
