In a State of Dress
(Madelief de Heer, 2010)

H. Kristina Haugland, Philadelphia Museum of Art Textiles curator of costume and textiles, presents a film about the few remaining elderly women in a small town in Holland who painstakingly dress in 16th century attire as a matter of tradition, or perhaps habit.
