In the late 1800s Emily Clapham opened a dress-making salon in Hull. She was (and perhaps still is) very well known, and had a reputation for being a fine dress-maker with a very successful business – she even went on to make dresses for royalty! Take inspiration from the Madame Clapham costume collection at the Hands on History Museum before designing and decorating your own fashion drawing.
