It's called Dressed.

And Julie Elber is a sewing genius.

If you want to print out a version of her monastic dress pattern and make it for yourself, I will have a link up at articlesofinterest.substack.com.

Hey there, it's Avery here.

Okay, a little housekeeping.

I'm putting the final edits on my book and I'm working on the episodes for 2026.

There's going to be one a month this year and I cannot wait to share them.

I actually just got back from China, so I'm writing this at three in the morning.

I'm so jet lagged.

But wait until you hear the story that I found there.

I'm very excited for that one.

I'm also working with some of my favorite minds in fashion to develop new episodes and ideas, including a story about bras and how they work and whether or not we need them.

But I need a little more time to get it all together.

So.

I wanted to share a different podcast that I really like.

This is also a story about bras, but with a very different perspective.

This is a piece from Signal Hill, which is an audio magazine.

It's such a smart concept.

They publish all kinds of audio documentaries from all different contributors, long-form reported work, short essays, reviews, poems, and it's packaged together in issues that you can subscribe to.

But I particularly loved this dispatch from their last issue.
