Shaping Femininity makes a great Christmas present (I’m biased lol) and it’s currently 30% off until 10 December.* Lots of other great Fashion History titles from Bloomsbury are also available in the sale too!

So I did the thing and took the plunge to make a YouTube channel.

Received my contributor copy of Everyday Fashion today @bloomsburyfashion . It is edited by and includes chapters from all my favourite dress people like @bkb23 @jadehalbert @liztregenza @luciewhitmorecurator @fourredshoes @vanessaljones_ @rebeccaunsworth_ @dressing.history

And a shot of the front of my 1650s gown…

This beautiful and rare pair of pink silk bodies / bodice with gilt braid just sold over the past week. These likely date to the period 1650-80.

Beetlejuice but make it 18th century. Happy Halloween 🎃
