Gemma Brown, site development officer at the Leeds Discovery Centre, with one of the eye-catching sailor suit style outfits in the Leeds collection. The eye-catching naval attire includes a classic range of blue and white outfits, dresses and bellbottom trousers, looks which became hugely popular for children during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The suits are among an array of historic fashions which will be explored in an upcoming workshop at Leeds Discovery Centre looking back on centuries of fabulous clothes and costumes.
