Show Notes

In this week's episode, curators Melissa and Poppy ransack museum wardrobes for weird and wonderful items of clothing! We'll be learning about an incredible costume made from naturally-shed beetle wings, the 'terrible' knitters of Dent,  and how one resourceful mother turned an old corset into a child's plaything.
