Our new exhibit  features costumes from the Society’s extensive collection and is based on the popular TV series, Downton Abbey.   Lady Grantham and her daughters always wore the latest elegant fashions of the 1920s and 30s.  The soft fabrics, lavish beading and embroidery on their dresses help set the story tone. Happily, we have similar dresses here in Chappaqua.  We have a stunning satin and lace wedding gown as well as dresses suitable for receiving guests at home or at the opera.  Also on view is a selection of beaded bags, long gloves and hats. One is a silver cap perfect to slip over a head of bobbed hair and dance the Charleston. Stop in for a treat, and decide who had more style: the blue bloods of Downton Abbey, or the ladies of Chappaqua. The exhibit runs through the year and may be viewed Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays 1:00-4:00pm or by appointment  914 238-4666
