Welcome to Laundry Day. I am your host, Lexi McKelvy, and I will lead you through the peculiar pasts of the daily wear items we all know and love. This episode is a brief introduction into the broad beginnings of clothing. When did we start wearing it, and what did it look like? I encourage you to take this opportunity to get some of your own laundry done so that we might beat the boring and seeming never ending cycle of folding, together.
