May 6, 2023 Coronation Day of King Charles lll.
We had an appointment at the Fashion History Museum for the advertised Coronation White-Linen High Tea. WHAT A JOKE !!!. There was no white-linen anywhere.
I believe that who ever organized this has NO idea what a White-Linen High Tea consist of. Also what was advertised as the menu items had no resembles to what was served. This is the VERY WORST so called White-Linen High Tea you could possible imagine.
First and foremost for a Coronation White-Linen High Tea celebration there was no Coronation themed decorations. If you do not intend to decorate for what you are advertising as a Coronation themed White-Linen High Tea then you should not promote it as a CORONATION HIGH TEA.
You should also learn how to serve tea and keep it hot for your customers! Every heard of a tea cozy ?
Traditional finger sandwiches, were not served. Instead a plate of thrown together thin sliced and sadly lacking (you will need a magnifying glass to find any fillings) so called sandwiches were served.
This was followed by a scone that was more like a bread roll, with no cream (only butter) and jam. Went we asked for the cream that was advertised we were told that the BUTTER on the table was the cream and told we did not know what the Devon Cream was like. RUDE I can assure you that I have had many, many High Teas and am very well aware what Devon Cream is and it is NOT ANYTHING LIKE THE BUTTER THAT WAS ON THE TABLE !
Then came the final DISAPPOINTMENT the sweets or what should have been the sweets totally inedible !!! A total disappointment and at a cost of $45.20 a total rip off !!!!
Maybe someone should at least research what a White-Linen High Tea is before advertising something that you have no ability to deliver !!! Very Very...

Lovers of design, clothing, cloth and small museums will delight in the Fashion History Museum located just outside of Toronto in Hespeler, (Cambridge).
The current exhibit deals with the 1980s in all its broad shouldered, fringed and embroidered glory. Close up looks at items from the great Rei Kawakubo are full of surprises. In the second gallery the photography exhibit of the club scenes in 1980s London and New York is a perfect complement to the main show.
A smaller exhibit, Treasures of the Collection, is a trip around the world through time with a woven, paper fibre corset from Germany, a 1930s Japanese under kimono printed with war planes and impossibly tiny, 19th century dancing shoes.
And, if you are there at lunch or tea time, the cafe Creme, just down the street, is a must with sandwiches, a comprehensive tea list and Dufflet pastries.

The staff was so friendly and it's nice to look at the items in their collection but very little information is actually given on the fashion items they display. Information like the type of cloth used, techniques developed, silhouette création, undergarments required, price points for the items on display (ie. Did they belong to wealthier people or common folk)... This info was not really shared. I wish there had been more information provided. The Cher collection was cool but also had very little info.
All in, not worth the ticket price to look at maybe 12 dresses (plus Cher's 5) and two suits with...
