D is for... Dressed for the Voyage

[xenith]

Dressed for the Voyage was a fashion exhibition I walked past on the Hobart waterfront, so I went back the next day (which was its final day) to see if it was worth checking out. It was only a gold coin donation to get in.


I asked the lady at the desk if I could take photos. She wasn't keen--she'd had bad experiences with people posting photos of her dresses under their own names & trying to sell them--but she agreed I could. So don't pinch copies of these and post them elsewhere, OK?



The idea behind the exhibition is clever. Stories about passengers on the Titanic


alongside a costume of the sort they might have worn.



Some very lovely dresses.





And not all dresses :)




This was my favourite dress, so it gets shown twice :)













On a per $ basis, better than the Titanic exhibition I went to at Melbourne museum.

Thank you very much for sharing this - it sounds absolutely fascinating and helps me to make myself a picture of that ship. And the stories are fascinating!

Certainly the dresses don't look suitable for a cruise among ice floes in a lifeboat.

Yes, but what is?
