Rosie Gwilliam designed and made this delightful dress for her friend and colleague, Judith Baddeley. The design was inspired by the gown that had earned Rosalie third place in the Gown of the Year competition.

Join Pou Tiaki/Collections & Curatorial Lead, Trish Nugent-Lyne, for a short fashion talk revealing the story behind this charming piece.

Everyone is welcome. No need to book. Admission is free. Koha for the Museum is always appreciated. The dress will remain on display throughout November.
