A trip to the museum: Costume exhibit

[madamemodiste]

Today I went with a friend to see the new Philadelphia Museum of Art's Raymond G. Perelman building which holds a new textile and costume exhibit. While the exhibit is small, I got some wonderful pictures:












































In other news, I forgot to post the pics from the video shoot and me wearing that red and black striped dress

Fantastic shots! I really envy the fact that Philadelphia has so many wonderful museums and a true-blue 'fabric district'!

There is nothing like that here, so I enjoy living vicariously through your photos! :)

Tell the truth, you're planning to try to recreate that first one, right? :)

Thanks for sharing with us.

I don't know how to do the draping of the bodice, but it is a gorgeous gown!

The gowns are certainly wonderful and it was especially fascinating to read the information about the child's gown. How odd.

And the pictures from the video shoot are super. You are definitely the best dress extra though. It looks like it was a lot of fun.
