Yesterday’s Lady

Susan McLain, better known as “Yesterday’s Lady,” lives with her husband in a historic 1887 building, with her vintage clothing collection and shop on the main level in downtown Beatrice, NE.

Sue has been collecting vintage clothing for 25 years and has a wide variety of artifacts, ranging from the 1840’s through the 1970’s. As a Nebraska Humanities speaker, she has traveled the Midwest entertaining groups with a wide selection of fashion programs and shows.

Yesterday’s Lady aims to take you on a trip through time as Sue shares her love of vintage clothing. Sue’s guests learn about the fashions from the past and leave with a greater appreciation for why we should treasure these artifacts.

In 2009, Images of America honored Susan by publishing her commentary to more than 200 photographs from Harvey L. Boston’s photography studio in David City, NE between 1900 and 1920; compiling them in a book entitled “Butler County: The Boston Studio Collection.”
