I recently worked on an exhibition at a local historic house showing pieces of costume and accessories from their collection. I selected the items for display, designed and organised the displays and researched and designed all the labelling. It was hard work to get it done on a short time scale, but the end result was a great achievement and felt amazing. My photos of the actual exhibition as a whole are not that great quality as I only had my phone camera, but some of the close ups of the individual items turned out okay.

This is a little montage I put together for the blog post about the exhibition that will be going up on the new website, once it's finally up and running!!

The idea was to showcase the whole scope of the collection, so the displays were themed around colours/visual impact as opposed to dates. These were from the 'Gold Dresser' display which had a cream/gold colour theme. Clockwise from top left; 19th century silk fan, c.1920 beaded evening dress, two c.1930s beaded purses and lastly a pair of c.1920s gold brocade evening shoes with diamante buckles.
