Another lovely day with Amanda and her team at the Maddermarket. Mending a tweed jacket and unpicking bits. I'd taken in a book I'd just bought (Nineteenth-Century Fashion in Detail by Lucy Johnston), and Amanda brought out a beautiful little victorian jacket that is part of the wardrobe special collection so I could have a good look at the real thing. And then, I was given the freedom to take a look at the rest of the collection upstairs. There were more racks of old, old clothes, packed fantastically tight, and shelves, and boxes, of boots and shoes, and lace, and umbrellas, and what nots. All very exciting.
