A look at the clothes, underclothes, shoes and accessories which would have been worn by some of the more colourful characters in the Palace’s 300-year history. This talk considers the part that arsenic, lead, mercury and mousetraps played in the styles of the day and finishes with a look at the on-going special relationship with the fabulous House of Dior.
