Marguerite Sirvins’ bridal gown, created during her stay at Saint-Alban psychiatric hospital.

“…desiring ardently to experience marriage one day, she began to make a bridal gown for an imaginary wedding day. The dress, which she would never wear, was worked in the crochet technique and sewn with a needle and thread taken from old sheets.”

Currently held at the Collection de l’art Brut Lausanne.
