Your pets dressed up in objects from ours and @YorkCastle& #39;s collection – a thread.
Artemis is modelling a 1920& #39;s cotton bra with a 1930s pair of silk knickers. These were not made to match, but styles like this could easily have been worn together!

Norman, a true gent, is in this Cavalryman& #39;s buff coat - @YorkCastle& #39;s earliest item of men& #39;s clothing (1630-40)!
Molly is a strong warrior so has to wear the York Helmet - the most finely constructed & complete Anglo-Saxon helmet in all of Europe!

Squeak is all about the bling. This Anglo-Scandinavian silver armlet is decorated with a longitudinal band of incised, cabling along its length.
Dudley is rocking this glitterball costume worn by Berwick Kaler in the finale of the & #39;Grand Old Dame of York& #39;.

Biggles had a bad hare day, so needed this fashionable summer hat from the 1890s made of woven straw.
Fifi is a retro gal and is trying to bring back these 90& #39;s Postman Pat wellies!

Gerri has the posture of a true royal, so they are wearing our Middleham Jewel - a C15th gold pendant with a sapphire, and may have belonged to a relative of King Richard III!
London is another fierce kitty so had to wear our Hellenistic Helmet, a well made and finished helmet but considerably damaged!

Luna is showing off a noble VAD nurse’s cap from 1941. VADs worked alongside professional nurses to provide essential care to injured troops.
Beetroot is looking cocky in this Hiberno-Scandinavian type C9th Silver arm-ring.

Whereas Hamlet is too cool to show how thrilled he is to be wearing this puurfect Roman (75-175 AD) dragonesque brooch.
Beautiful, big Bear is sleeping in a 1720& #39;s nightcap made of linen embroidered with silk.

Who let the dogs out? Molly is here to hit the town in this necklace (600-800 AD) consisting of 35 individual beads.
