Fabulous Frocks 2

More Glorious Gowns from the Otago Settlers Museum Collection 1900-1950.

This is the second major exhibition to showcase the Museum's magnificent collection of women's costume. The focus this time is on the early twentieth century. This was a period of incredible change in the lives of women, reflected in the clothes that they wore. From the ornate formality of the Edwardian period, through the radical chic of 1920s 'flappers', the sinuous elegance of the 1930s and on to the square-shouldered austerity of the war years, this show charts the rollercoaster ride of a half-century of women's fashion.
