Gowns from the '20's and '30s? Right here, baby. (http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/exhibition/fashion/index.html) Beautiful presentation put together by the Rhode Island School of Design Museum.

Great site - I love the vintage patterns and fabric, would love to see them in real life - should be ripe for reproduction though I bet some of the beading and detail work could never be replicated.

I love everything shown here! These eras are always among my favorites.

This sent me off on a hunt for great repro fabrics. Luckily, ReproDepot has enough to satisfy me for the moment.

I won't start a Rank The Swank thread about this exhibit because I can't find a schedule of where it's going next. I saw it today staged in a mansion in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. If you like period screen costumes from movies like "Titanic", "Evita", and "Ever After",
click me (http://fashioninfilm.stormtrooperprincess.com/fifindex.html).

Thanks, Ponine. :cool:

Unfortunately for us but fortunately for the costumes, no photography was allowed at the exhibit in Oshkosh.

Awesome! My favorite costume exhibit was the LOTR one I saw when it was at the Boston Museum of Science.

I think I would like to see that one. If I end up at an exhibit like that, I always, always buy the program. They took photos, and they will always be 100 times better than mine anyway.
And, if I want to make one, I wont have the time to be as detail oriented as I'd like anyway.
