A Conversation with Mary's Dress

Join us for a very special event featuring a unique interactive 18th-century Georgian dress.

Presented by costume designer, published author and London College of Fashion alumni Dr Lindsey Holmes.

This recreation of the garment worn by The Honourable Mary Graham (1757-1792) has been painstakingly recreated stitch by stitch and embedded with sound spots, through which actors recreate the story of her life.

Listen as Lindsey talks you though the tragic life history of Mary, and her life with and death from Consumption, including the parallels with John Keats's own life.

This session will include time for you to explore the interactive dress itself, as well as listening to the sound spots as they lead you through the history and construction of the garment.

A ticket to this event also includes admission to Keats House, which will open solely for attendees until 4pm.
