Testimonials

“We really enjoyed your talk. The history of underwear was interesting and our ladies were very impressed with the examples you brought in. They enjoyed going down memory lane at the mention of liberty bodices and the green school knickers with the pocket in.  You were very professional and very informative. We had a lovely time and look forward to seeing you again.”

“When Liza started to talk, she got us interested right from the start. She held people’s interest through her logical and enlightening approach to the History of Cosmetics. We particularly liked the amusing asides and the facts about white lead. Liza had obviously researched her subject and related it in a way that kept her audience entertained.”

“Liza was well prepared and has an excellent style of presentation. Her use of props for the topic – Knickers! The History of Women’s Underwear – was good, and we liked seeing the examples of products on this interesting topic.” Bury St Edmunds Afternoon WI

“Liza is a professional and knowledgeable speaker. We liked her informal and humorous approached rather than a ‘lecture’. Her use of props was interesting, especially the packaging and the (small) amount in jars of face cream.”

“Liza caught our attention immediately when she started to talk. She was very clear and easy to hear. Liza’s approach to the topic of Behind the Bathroom Door was good from a historical viewpoint, developing people’s knowledge of the subject. Historical artefacts were passed around and the demonstration of ‘floating soap’ held our attention.”

“It was clear when Liza started her talk on Savvy Shopping that we were in for an interesting evening. Her approach was very versatile and one that was of interest to ladies regardless of their age.
She was engaging and entertaining, and used her props as a good additional element to the talk besides the slides. The whole talk was good, and our members really enjoyed both the style and content of her talk.”

“Thank you again for a fabulous (Zoom) talk on Knickers – The History of Women’s Underwear. It brought back so many memories.  After we had our Notices and Show n’ Tell we started to talk again about our school and teenage years and undergarments. We had so much fun this evening.”

“This was the second time we have used Liza and we will use her again as she makes an interesting evening. This time she talked about Savvy Shopping. Her style of presentation was very well paced and much enhanced by the slide show. She is clearly very organised, and her use of props was excellent.”

“Liza gave a genuinely riveting talk, sharing so many previously unknown facts about underwear. It’s also always good to be able to see and handle examples. Her style of presentation was calm and clear, and her approach was enlightening, humorous and well-paced. She had thoroughly explored underwear through history, and showed a good, varied range of props. Liza really knows her stuff!”

“Liza is enthusiastic about her topic (Knickers!) and VERY well researched.  Her passion showed. She was organised, informative and fun, explaining how the (Zoom) session would run. There was a good balance  and mixture of talk, PowerPoint, actual examples and questions. Her use of PowerPoint was illustrative – not just read out – and her props provided good support to the talk. We really liked it when she highlighted the shape, style and decoration on props. The best part was the way she invited questions and comments in an open way.”

“Liza was smartly dressed, welcoming and friendly. Her style of presenting was quite informal, making it easy to listen to. She was well prepared and we particularly liked the way she broke up the (Zoom) talk into different sections with plenty of time for questions. We all enjoyed the unusual subject (Knickers!) which was put forward clearly and with lots of examples.”

“Thank you so much for your (Zoom) talk on Monday. I found it quite fascinating and most interesting. Also it was fun to see the sort of things we, our mothers and grandmothers used to wear. It’s quite amazing how our ‘Underwear’ has evolved over time. I also liked the props that you showed us and thoroughly enjoyed the whole talk.”
