British Ballgown- V&A



Ballgowns - British Glamour Since 1950

This was one of two exhibitions that we went to see at the V&A in London. The first thing that we got told when arriving was that there were no photos or sketching allowed while in that particular exhibition  Meaning that we couldn't really record what we were seeing, apart from to note down artists and the collection the dress belonged to, and would just have to look at photos after in books or on the internet, which ins't really the same.
I did really like sections of the exhibition  where the dresses where a little bit more eccentric and out there, but others were more like your traditional ball-gown which didn't interest me as much .
The two dresses i thought were the most interesting in the exhibition were these two.
The one on the above is Alexander Mcqueen and the one on the below is Vivienne Westwood. I likes these two out of all the dresses because they are different to the typical silhouette that is used for traditional  ballgowns. 





These few images show the majority of the dresses that were in the upstairs section of the exhibition.
