Join us for a study day exploring some of our beautiful original vintage garments, lingerie and accessories such as hats, shoes and bags.
Study Visit - Vintage Fashion 1920-1960
This in-person study day will give you a chance to study examples of garments and accessories from our collection, up close and in detail. From sparkling beaded dresses of the 1920s to crisp silk 1950s cocktail and party dresses we'll look at the evolving styles across four decades of fashion history. We will also look at examples of lingerie and accessories many with stunning decorations in embroidery, beadwork or lace.
You will have the chance to get up close to the items so you can really enjoy every detail of their design and construction. The study visit will be guided by our Curator who will talk you though the items, pointing out design and construction details that are not to be missed and answering questions.
