Juliet Braidwood
Juliet Braidwood is a historian specialising in living history and English women’s fashion from the Early Modern period. She has worked widely as a living historian and is currently based primarily at Athelhampton House, where she has set up their living history events as well as running their schools programme and undertaking research on the families who used to live there. Her current sewing project is a re-creation of the early 17th Century embroidered waistcoat in the Burrell Collection, which has very similar embroidery to another one in Bath Fashion Museum. Alongside this, she is working on patterning the extant 19th-century garments in her collection, and then making those patterns available for others to use for making and research.
