About Parachute Fashion - The Frazer Theatre

What do aeronauts, knickers and brides have in common?

From hot air balloons to squirrel wingsuits textiles help humans soar in the air while parachutes bring us safely to earth. Feather-light and super-strong parachutes have saved lives, won battles and inspired glorious fashions, from underwear to wedding gowns.
Join dress historian Lucy Adlington for an exhilarating exploration of the fabrics of flight & controlled falling, with fascinating stories of pioneer descents and wonderful vintage garments.

From the author of Stitches in Time and The Dressmakers of Auschwitz
