One of my favorite museums in the whole world is Te Papa in Wellington, NZ.

Last month I caught, by chance, a visiting exhibition from the V & A.......
"Unveiled" 200 years of wedding fashion.
Not your typical Kiwi experience, a real 'girly' show and more than well attended. Lots of eye candy, with film clips and interactive sites ( as in 'post your own wedding photos') Te Papa excels in visitor participation. I was happy to leave R in the cafe with a new book and spend a couple of hours by myself ,having a good look around.

| dress and coat c.1965 |
One of my favorite wedding dresses was worn in 1969 by Pamela Harlech, alas I cannot locate a still, but you can see the dress here, in this link. ...a news clip that was also being shown as part of the exhibit.
So, I am showing a dress and coat from about the same time (for sale in my shop, wouldn't you know)
The V&A exhibit sounds gorgeous! What a terrific trip you had.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and etsy shops too. I'll be by here again soon to see what fun things you have posted!
What a thrill to be traveling around as you are...and I would have loved to have been there. I looked at the link you mentioned--beautiful wedding dress!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is just what I need for wedding dress inspiration! I love the clip; the commentaries always make me giggle x

Very jealous! Would love to see this x
ReplyDeleteOMG! How wonderful is Dita's dress. The vibrant colour of violet against the red roses. That's colour combination to my taste. Thanks for sharing.
