1890s gown from Loel Thomson’s collection.
Loel Thomson’s collection of two centuries of costume is amazing, and probably the largest collection of Australian dress in the country. You can read more about it here.
Don’t you just love vintage clothing? I may a minority and old-fashioned but I kinda like those long skirts. They all look so elegant. The fashion today is all about stripping down your clothes.
