Get Along to this Fashion Exhibition - “Night Life”

The N I G H T  L I F E exhibition at Barwon Park Mansion showcases a very dynamic and visually impressive time in Victoria’s fashion history.

Set in an atmosphere of exuberant play and optimistic discovery, the evening wear on show references the night sky, stars and planets, neon lights, fireworks and dreams.

The costumes selected for the exhibition reveal embellished surfaces, ornamentation and pattern. The gowns come from the Trust’s collection – many have been made locally in Victoria so they represent the fashion that was being worn here during the 20s and 30s. The exhibition features over 35 gowns as well as accessories.

N I G H T  L I F E reveals the change in evening wear fashion over 20 years from the early 1920s to the Moderne style of the 30s.

The Dressmaker Costume Exhibition. Our trip to Dungatar! AKA Barwon Park Mansion, a National Trust property in Winchelsea Victoria.  Photographs by Rochelle Beatty.

We recently got all dressed up for a day out enjoying an afternoon tea, croquet, vintage cars, an amazing homestead’s history and of course the divine costumes of The Dressmaker. 

They’ve just announced an extension of the exhibition at Barwon Park Mansion until 20th March, but we also have it on good authority it will be making its way to a Melbourne National Trust property too!
