Come behind the scenes of “Fabric of America: Our Fashions, Textiles, and Technologies” to see how The Henry Ford dressed dozens of mannequins in historical clothing for this one-of-a-kind exhibition. Thank you to Jennifer Nieling of JLN Costume Mounting for helping us to ensure each piece had the perfect fit for display.
