Meredith and team are great presenters who give a fascinating, professional and enthusiastic talk with plenty of costumes and accessories to illustrate them. I have seen them on several occasions. Well done and every success in the future.

Excellent article Merry! Glad your glamorous assistant made it into a few photos. Today Sheffield, tomorrow the world!

You deserve every success Meridith Towne: Costume Historian & Dressmaker, as do the two Lucys, your partners of History Wardrobe.

Some lovely pictures of the printed cotton Regency dress I made for Belford Museum in Northumberland. I was asked to create a dress suitable for 20-year-old Eleanor who wrote a diary in 1804/5 whilst living in Belford with her widowed gentleman father and family.

A fantastic place to visit with a brand new exhibition installed by the very hard working volunteers.
