This is one of our loopier episodes, so if you are here for the tangents...wait what are we talking about?

Join writing one Meghan and sewing one Liza as we break down could, would, and should Lucy make her own dress (while simultaneously doing a home perm) in this one particular episode of legendary tv show I Love Lucy, Season 2 Episode 28: "Lucy Wants New Furniture", with costume design by Elois Jenssen.

Come for Meghan's PSA on scissors, stay for the part where Liza makes commercial sewing patterns sound more difficult than rocket science.

In this episode we mention:

a documentary: 2022's Amy Poehler film Lucy and Desi

a book: Meet The Mertzes: The Life Stories of I Love Lucy's Other Couple, by Audrey E. Kupferberg and Rob Edelman

a magazine: Vogue, February 1, 1952

a podcast: LA Meekly
