Kevin McCluskey Appears in Connecticut Newspaper
Associate Professor of Theatre Kevin McCluskey was recently interviewed by Republican-American, a Connecticut newspaper, for his expertise in fashion history.
McCluskey was quoted in a story about the closing of a bridal store in Waterbury, Conn., after 43 years.
He say:
“By the time we get to the 70s, probably most women’s wedding dresses were manufactured, either by a local dress maker or a factory,” said Kevin McCluskey, associate professor of costume design with a specialty in fashion history and period style at the University of Mary Washington in Virginia.
Previous generations of American women were married in dresses handsewn by a female relative, he said. “My mother, who was married in ‘66, bought her wedding dress, but my aunt who was married five years earlier made her dress.”
