This 1780 country gown was decorated with extra-large spotted pockets. It's good to be prepared for every situation, you know? (Some things never change.) Your move, Poppins. Pincushions, thimbles, pencil cases, knives, scissors, keys, spectacles, watches, diaries, personal-grooming objects like combs and mirrors, and (obviously) snacks were just some of the items commonly toted around below the belt, according to an exhibit about pockets at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. These pockets functioned like purses and could hold enough treasures to make Mary Poppins (and her infinitely expanding carpet bag) jealous.
