About this Event

Did you know we sold our first bra in 1926? By 1939 we were selling over 30 different styles of bra! Researcher Lorraine Topper will explore 100 years of bra design and technological innovation. Visitors will also have a chance to take a closer look at bras from the Archive collection.

Free event, refreshments included. Booking essential.
