ROEDDE HOUSE EVENTS
Join us for the “Magic Under the Moonlight” Market at Roedde House Museum on May 15th & 16th. (Admission is $5 at the door).
In the quiet intimacy of the Roedde House Museum’s Victorian bedroom, a tableau of elegance unfolds. Roedde House is the perfect stage for our corsets to come alive once more.
Against the backdrop of delicate wallpaper, each portrait is styled as it might have been in the late 19th century.
You will be invited to change into a chemise and petticoat, and we will lace you into a lovely corset for your portrait. Your chosen photo will evoke the private ritual of dressing in the whispered hush of a lady’s boudoir.
This setting invites you into living history, blending heritage and beauty in a way that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
Book your ticket for your timeslot here.
Please choose one time slot to purchase your ticket. We will email you with a digital ticket (no need to print), more details about what to expect and how to prepare to maximize your enjoyment of your personal photo shoot.
Please do book a complimentary fitting at Lace Embrace Atelier to try on corsets and accessories. We will have a tickle trunk of lacy bits, hats and fripperies at the photo shoot to add to your final look. After the photoshoot, we will send you a digital selection of stunning photographs to add to your boudoir.
If you would like to attend with a friend, please purchase two adjoining time slots, you will each have an individual portrait and a portrait together!

Exhibition - Dressed for History: Why Costume Collections Matter
Exhibit on display from March 16, 2023 – December 3, 2023
Clothing is the most personal of artefacts. It reveals so much about who we are, what we do and what we value. Clothing conveys information about occupation, social and economic status, gender and cultural identity and political and religious affiliation.
Four remarkable historical costume collectors have recognized the importance of preserving costumes to document the past and inspire our present and future. Ivan Sayers, Claus Jahnke, Melanie Talkington and the members of the BC Society for the Museum of Original Costume (SMOC) are fashion historians with significant collections that feature some of the rarest garments and fabrics in the world.
The Museum of Vancouver has invited these collectors to share their deep knowledge of costume history by showcasing pieces from their collections. Dressed for History: Why Costume Collections Matter makes the case that fashion and costumes are significant and enduring expressions of personal identity and of political and social change. This exhibition confirms Vancouver as home to world-class costume interpreters, collectors and historians.

Due to great interest, we hosted another even at Hycroft Manor in 2012 to showcase the collection and have a wonderful excuse to dress up in our corsets!

Antique Corset Exhibition III
Our third event at Hycroft Manor was in 2013. Not only did guests dress up in corsets, but we provided the crowd with a tutorial of how women dressed in their underpinnings, featuring authentic antique underpinnings and a Victorian corset made by Lace Embrace Atelier.
