About this Event
Join us for a fascinating journey through the history of women’s clothing—one pocket at a time. Discover how pockets have shaped the daily lives, freedoms, and fashions of women from medieval times to today. Why were pockets once hidden? What did women carry in them—and what does it tell us about their roles in society?
Led by historian Seren Shaw, this illustrated talk uncovers the politics, practicality, and symbolism stitched into the seams of women’s garments across the centuries.
