Is the name given to an exhibition that has been at Killerton this year and I managed to catch its final day at the weekend. It’s about fashion and includes some designs by students at Falmouth university whose remit was, 
and this is some of their work
The little red number is my favourite! Here is the Courtenay dress, apologies for the glare, its part of Killerton’s collection and so was behind glass.
Here are a few more gowns from their collections, they are all vintage but some would still be wearable now.
To bring us into the right decade, these last dresses are made by current designers.
Any idea which is my favourite?

How fascinating to see that gracious dress made from bed curtains … and the modern upcycling designs are very attractive … my d-i-l only wears remade things that she whizzes up out of found fabrics and she always looks marvellous … but of the modern designs, maybe your favourite is S … the red/blue heart flaring skirt ???
That’s the tail end of the dress to the left of it, and yes you’re spot on – if only I still had the figure 🙂 🙂 🙂
oh yes, Gilly, me too!!! Yesterday I booked out flights to Paris for the middle of May next year … will definitely come and visit before the flight home on 25th June 🙂
There are some really beautiful dresses.
Wish we’d known. Could have popped down. Can’t choose one so will just need a wardrobe!
I don’t know which one you like best, Gilly, but personally I love the one with the peacock feather skirt (third photo in the final collection). I’d probably feel like Morticia Addams wearing it, but it’s still gorgeous.
I believe I like the cream Charleston dress (if indeed that’s what it is). I love vintage as well as the black and white vertical pleated number.
I love that one with the hearts around the bottom. So romantic! 🙂
It’s hard to choose. All are beautiful. I bet my wife will be excited to see all these.
Einen schönen Tag wünsche ich dir ich finde das mit den Herzen,sehr Romanich ist sehr schön.Liebe Grüße und Freundschaft und einen schönen Tag Gislinde
Gilly, what a delightful collection of frocks. I love the star of the show made from hand embroidered bed curtains ……can you imagine how long that would take to make……and the vintage frocks are so pretty. I think I prefer them to the modern ones 🙂
5874?
I think they are all beautiful!
Hello from Australia. I had the good fortune to run into DRifter Dave the other day. Way over here in our tiny village. We had a misunderstanding trying to sort out who he was and how he knew my name and then I realised it was YOU he was talking about. How good is that ? I have some images of him on one of my blogs – dancing and having a good time with us. Trust all is well with you.
Lynne! where the devil have you been girl? Your blog disappeared – but it wasn’t this one, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this one. I’ve oftenwondered how you are and when Dave said where he was going I thought I recognised the name. I never dreamt he would actually meet you – what an amazing world blogging is! Its lovely to see you lovely lady and I hope you’re good 🙂
Yes. He is staying with friends of ours way out in the country.

Well there he is 🙂
It was funny because I thought he was a nutter and was rude then I realised he was talking about you and was so pleased.
He’s . . . different 🙂
🙂
Wow, some of these are gorgeous! And as I read this article, I thought of “The Remissionary,” here on WordPress. She is a fantastic seamstress and blogs about all the things that can be re-made from something that has been — or needs to be discarded. I’ll be sure and give her the link to this site. She’ll enjoy this article very much.
P. S. I really like the new header photo!
oh my goodness – I love these!
The first few, especially D & E, remind me of a Kimono! Love the spare elegance of U 🙂
Do you like best the slinky red number top row, second from left? Judging by your other red favorite! I like that peacock skirt also —
Vintage clothing, tiny stitches and embroidery are all so intriguing to me. Fabulous Courtenay Dress! I spent many teenage years doing intricate embroidery by hand. ( I could see better then !)
