Dior Exhibition at the V and A

I was very fortunate to be able to get a ticket for the sensational exhibition at the V and A. It was truly magnificent and probably the best exhibition I have viewed in a very long time.

The exhibition took us through the life of Christian Dior and his fine collections of fashion. The gowns and other clothes were totally hand- stitched and embellished. I have taken some photographs for you to get an idea of their beauty.

After his death his successors have put their own stamp onto the collections.

I have already been to the Mary Quant Exhibition and it was very enjoyable. Mary Quant design ideas are still being copied in the fashion world today.

We all wish we could squeeze into those tiny clothes today.

Today’s Meeting

We had a very busy afternoon with Sue Jones. The meeting was well attended and we all enjoyed making a start on our tea-light holder.

It will be interesting to see the embroidered pieces next month as there were so many different techniques and ideas used.

Here’s some of the work in progress.
