Pins & Needles: VISITING THE BOWES MUSEUM

On Wednesday, 30th of September, we went to The Bowes Museum in County Durham to visit the first YSL exhibiton in England.
I will be separating the day in two posts, as there was lots to see and I have LOTS of photos (sorry abou the quality of some it was dark).
All the photos have been done by me during the day.

The Bowes Museum was an incredible building that transported me into another place. The building was an enourmous castle called 'barnard castle and was surrounded by an amazing garden with fountains.
On the inside, there was three floors with lots of objects and garments. There was also lots of portraits with amazing vibrant colours and intricate details.

I loved how the fabrics were represented making them that realistic that you can tell the difference between a velvet gown and a lace collar.

There was also some amazing historical costumes that made me think how much fashion has changed over the centuries, from very intricate gowns to barely barely any skin covered. I also loved some of the detail of the dresses and it gave me some ideas for future projects.
