This selection of some of the most elegant fashions for men and women shows how people have dressed to impress for all occasions from the 1770s to the 1970s. The exhibition explores ideas about clothing etiquette and aims to demonstrate how changing tastes have affected what we regard as elegant. Luxurious accessories and children’s clothes are also displayed. With replica costumes to try on.
This new exhibition from the fashion collection at Killerton House is supported by fashion plates, photographs and magazines from RAMM’s costume collection.
Monday 18 October - Fingers and Toes
An accompanying event to the full exhibition. Find out about the gloves and shoes in Killerton's costume collection and how they are stored and cared for. 11am - 2pm
