Episode 31: Little Podcast of Horror

Little Podcast of Horror: Season Six commences on the year's biggest day for fancy dress: Halloween! Always looking to raise the costume stakes, Lucy and Ben consider costume inspiration from some unlikely sources, including the Pre-Raphaelites, Audrey Beardsley and an eighties footwear commercial that Lucy has still not got over. The episode is brought to you in conjunction with Penhaligon's (@penhaligons_london) and their seasonally-appropriate Elixir candle, which will assuredly fill any space with the magic, wonder and whimsy of Autumn and All Hallows Eve. As ever, for accompanying episode images see our Instagram feed at @dressfancypodcast. If you enjoy listening to Dress: Fancy, you'll probably know somebody else who would, too, so please spread the word.
