The answer is me^ I was really excited about it but whatever.
The Victorian Albert museum was beautiful! I also just might be bias because we spent the most time in the fashion section and I am a sucker for anything “old” fashion related.
The thing I am talking about was one of the dresses
Not only was I just very in love with the design of this dress ( I know the picture is more belinda that the dress oops) but I liked that I got to learn a little about the girl that wore it. It also reminded me of royalty in classical plays such as Shakespeare’s plays. It’s funny because it reminds me kind of of Claudios costume from Much Ado, with the poofy sleeves ( if I’m remembering it right).
The museum had some lovely pieces from islamic history as well that I really enjoyed, the colors in the paintings that they would put over tombstones were so vibrant and bright. They also had a couple rugs in the same room that were HUGE and so beautiful, would love to have one in my house:)
OVerall the museum was very impressive and one of the best gift shops I’ve seen so far! I know you probably don’t want to read about the gift shop but we unfortunately didn’t get to stay super long due to the inability to keep our eyes open from a lack of sleep, so I’m discussing the parts I saw!
Back on topic though, I think a lot of the dresses resembled the old timey dresses we think of when we think of Shakespeare. The slim waist and giant poofy bottom of the dresses was something I honestly wish we still did.
Overall I thought it was beautiful from what I saw and really enjoyed getting to learn more about fashion in the times before I was alive !
