An exhibition at the DuPage County Historical Museum showcased how much local fashion has changed over the past 150 years. Not only has there been changing styles for hats, gloves and jewelry, but shopping itself has changed. Fashion trends were once sourced from mail-order catalogs, dry goods stores and the local department stores of Marshall Field’s, Sears Roebuck and Co. and Montgomery Ward.
