What would a nineteenth century outfit look like? What kind of undergarments would one wear? And most importantly, did the dresses have pockets? In this From the Vault History Bites episode, Visitor Experience Assistant Anna takes us deep into textile storage to discuss her area of expertise: fashion!

History Bites premieres Wednesday, April 27 at 12 p.m. on Facebook. Tune in during your lunch hour to listen to the episode, or catch the recorded conversation later on our Museum Everywhere portal and YouTube channel.

History Bites is a monthly series of bite-sized conversations inspired by current exhibitions and stories from the collection.
