Episode 10: Colonial Clothing

Sorry there was no episode last week- I was moving! 

I'm here to make it up to you, though, with an episode I have been looking forward to for MONTHS. Neal Hurst, assistant curator for textiles and costumes from the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is here to tell us everything about what people wore in colonial times. The questions from 7-year old Mazarine are some of my favorites ever, too! I hope you like this one as much as I do!

One of the best resources for more fun is this Colonial Williamsburg 18th-Century Clothing portal. You can look at clothing, see all the different parts of outfits, dress a paper doll, check out accessories, and more. I could spend hours there.
