A lighthearted look at the lengths people went to in the name of fashion. The display shows female fashion trends from the 1600s through to Edwardian times, plus a male fashion statement in the form of waistcoats. The waistcoat had a royal beginning c1660 and is still in vogue today.

How did women get those lovely permed styles before the advent of the "cold perm solution"? We have an example of an early electric perm machine that was used locally and could almost be mistaken as an instrument of torture.

These are just a few of the artefacts on display, their history and how they were used in the name of fashion.
