The definite side show while attending your annual Christmas Nutcracker performance is surely all the little girls in velvet, taffeta and lace.

Take a peek at the Museum’s impressive collection of Little Girls&#x27; dresses. Enjoy a nostalgic look back at fads and trends that ebbed and flowed with the changing social times.
