The fashion collection gallery at the V&A covers all styles of
clothing from the last five hundred years, the museum website describes it as
"the largest and most comprehensive collection of dress in the
world".
I would have liked to spend a bit more time
here, but you really need more than an afternoon to see the whole museum as it
is sprawling and there are four floors. Plus the boys took one look at
all the clothing and shoes and started to at as if I was taking them through a
torture cell. They managed to moan at me the whole way through the
gallery until we emerged at the end.
The collection is a fascinating gallery of ball
gowns, corsets, party dresses and iconic fashion from every decade in the last
100 years. The dresses from the early 1900's especially were lovely.
