Episode Details

Martha Pullen loves antique white clothes from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. She and Joe have traveled, from flea markets all over the world to fancy antique stores, collecting “white clothes.” These clothes have allowed Martha and her students to connect with women from past generations. A former English teacher, Martha almost considers these clothes “poetry in lace and batiste.” Tucks are one of the most popular techniques found on Martha’s clothing.
