My brother and sister-in-law had a big birthday, so for a treat we had a lovely lunch at South Bank, then the boys went off to the football, and the girls went to the Gallery to take a look at the '200 years of Australian Fashion' Exhibition.
What a treat it was too, so many wonderful fabrics, designs and most of all the details. I mean who would have thought to use Walnut shells to decorate a hat, and my what a wonderful hat it was and the shells just made it extra special!
The exhibition flowed from the first known Australian Made dress to the current trends from Australian designers, with some unique accessories along the way, I particularly liked the Parasols, must be the ancestors genes coming through again.
So take a brief stroll through history, and if you can make the trip to Melbourne to take a look at all the garments, as this is only a small snippet of some of the wonderful garments!
