Résumé du projet de valorisation de l’expertise du GC par le numérique :

The gorgeous clothes of the Victorian era have captured our imaginations due to their elegance and incredible detail. However, we often forget the important role that undergarments played in creating the period’s characteristic silhouettes. Drawing on our costumers’ expertise, we’ve created a brief overview of each type of underwear that contributed to the exceptional styles of the Victorian era.

Le Grand Costumier offrira sa toute première formation sur la prise de mesures, préparation essayages et retouches. La formation sera donnée les samedis 15 et 22 février  de 10h à 14h30 dans l'atelier du Grand Costumier, avec la formatrice Louise Jobin.
