WHEN it comes to the bottom line, Rosemary Hawthorne knows her pantaloons and divided drawers from her bloomers and knitted knickers.

She'll be showing off her underwear - and her expertise in its history and development - at the Tivoli Theatre in Wimborne tonight at 8pm.

Rosemary, better known as The Knicker Lady, trawls through 300 years worth of unmentionables and the people who wore them.

Tickets are £8 and £10.
