In this episode, I interview textile and lace historian Elena Kanagy-Loux, on 500 Years of Lace History, an incredibly exciting and fascinating topic! Elena moves from the 1400s until the 1900s, explaining how lace and lacemaking have evolved and developed throughout the world during those time frames. It was such a pleasure to facilitate this conversation, and I learned so much from listening to Elena and her incredible knowledge about historical fashion and lacemaking.

![I Wore a Stone Age Bra for a Week

Although Stone Age bust support garments may not have been bras in the modern sense, they may have served the same purpose: to provide support.
In this video, I explore my interpretation of a prehistoric bust support garment, made of Stone Age materials, and using Stone Age tools and techniques for construction.
