Fashions on the Front Ep 4: Make-do and Mend

In this episode we look at some specific garments created during the war which are particularly good examples of the ‘Make-do and Mend’ movement. From Adelaide, to Sydney, and finally to Port Moresby, Papau New Guinea, these garments incite discussion about patriotism and war crimes – a powerful example of how integral clothing is to our histories.

I’d like to especially thank the Museum of Clothing, Maitland, NSW, for their help in this episode and allowing me to use photos of these garments on the blog. Don’t forget to subscribe! It really helps me to continue to create this podcast for you.
