<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Undressed: 350 years of underwear in fashion<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Exhibition organised by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">19 July – 26 October 2014<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The importance of underwear in fashion history cannot be overstated. The majestic shapes of 18th century court dress, the distorted hourglass shapes of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, and Dior’s cinched ‘New Look’ were all dependent
upon elaborate corsetry, technologically complex petticoats, hoops, and padded underpinnings.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Featuring highlights from the V&A's extensive collection of underwear, this exhibition will look at the history of private and intimate clothing – from corsets to court mantuas and boudoir wear to bustles – exploring underwear’s function
in decorating and manipulating the body.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a great exhibition to diarise! Education programs will be available. If you require further information and/or images please contact me.<o:p></o:p></p>
