Dress worn by Camilla Hess Herdman, proprietress
of a well-known Bowling Green hotel, the Morehead House, ca.
1865.
Hatpins sold at J. W. Campbell's Jewelry
Store in Bowling Green, ca. 1900-1910. Necessary to secure donned
hats atop stylish tresses, hatpins further embellished women's
headgear.
At the height of her business, Bowling
Green modiste Carrie Taylor employed 275 women and earned $50,000
a year. This bed jacket is an exquisite example of the fashion
sense Taylor possessed and the beautifully made garments her
employees produced.
