Curator Edwina Ehrman from London’s Victoria and Albert Museum offers behind-the-scenes insights into developing the stunning Unveiled wedding dress exhibition, opening at Te Papa on 17 December 2011. She’ll describe how she selected the dresses, suits, and accessories, and share research highlights from the associated book. Edwina will also detail the process of dressing the mannequins and preparing them for their long journey from London to Wellington. The presentation will include images of many dresses and accessories that visitors can look forward to seeing in the Unveiled exhibition.
