Saw these absolutely charming drawings by Robert Dighton and Anthony Highmore wandering round Bloomsbury yesterday 😍

So enjoyed sharing some of my research on muffs, making and women's networks from my book, The Modern Venus, at the Women's History Network conference in Bath this weekend. Especially lovely to be one of of TWO DMU fashion historians speaking, alongside keynote @serenadyer.bsky.social!

So enjoyed giving today's lunchtime salon at The Queen's House about 18thC naval fashions, accessories and satirical prints. Thanks Royal Greenwich Museums for inviting me! www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/que...

Had the pleasure of being not one, but two lecturers invited to speak at #CongresoModa18 at The Museo del Traje and The Prado. Such a fantastic couple of days talking about and listening to all things 18thC fashion history!

Had such a fabulous week last week making on the 1690s mantua project and ushering people around DMU for the brilliant Making Historical Dress Festival! Excellent start of the academic year!
