From London couture to home thrifting and well-worn uniforms, Lucy has a unique array of garments in her History Wardrobe, each with their own fascinating stories. Discover the stories and memories behind a refugee's hat, a bride's parachute, a sapper's jerkin, a firefighter's pyjamas, a Bletchley Park scarf, a coat from the Coventry bombings and more.
Lucy Adlington is author of bestselling books The Dressmakers of Auschwitz and Four Red Sweaters, in addition to Stitches in Time - The Stories of the Clothes We Wear, and Women's Lives and Clothes in WW2 - Ready for Action.
