In this episode of the historical makeover series, I give myself a Bronze Age makeover, exploring 4000 year old northern/western European fashion!

I interview the wonderful Nicole DeRushie, and expert on Bronze and Iron Age fashion, as well as the author of "Bog Fashion," a book exploring the construction of Bronze and Iron Age clothing, as well as patterns for making your own garments. The book can be found here, along with Nicole's social media: https://chronocopia.se/books/bog-fashion/

Disclaimer: The book was sent to me by the publisher free of charge but I was not compensated for discussing it.

A big thanks to Devon Rawlings for filming the reveal shots at the end.
