Recently I was honoured to speak at the opening of this wonderful new – and free! – exhibition of fashion from the Darnell Collection called The Garden Party at the Maroondah Art Gallery. Here is a programme of events. It covers fashions from 1890s to the 1950s and there are lots of wonderful frocks to delight.
It’s on until November 21st and I encourage you to visit and view these beautiful fashions and accessories.
Here are a few quick snaps from the day.

Beautiful dresses! I love your floral frock – you look so joyful! I mentioned your book “Eternal Style” in my recent post – take a look, if you like: http://www.thehipsterette.com.au/wordpress/?p=11481
Thanks lovely! Great post too, your lace frock is just divine and perfectly suited for a nice wedding. Good to see that even the couple in the background joined the colour scheme too.
One of my favourite sayings is that “it’s always better to be over-dressed than under-dressed”.
