On a recent trip to Bath Fashion Museum I was lucky enough to see their collection of Bellville Sassoon couture garments which were donated, along with various fashion drawings, a few years ago.
Also on show were a selection of Princess Diana's outfits which were specially designed for her, there also were letters between her and David Sassoon discussing the details of the designs which were very touching.
I have included photos of my favourite dresses from the exhibition, it was so interesting to be able to look at these gowns so closely and see how intricately they are constructed. I also took this chance to practise my observational drawing in the museum. I am going to create some fashion illustrations from these in my next fashion class as I think these dresses could be quite challenging but also have some good results.
