I went to see the "Dreaming of Chanel" exhibition at the QUT museum in the city on Friday. The best part about the exhibition, besides the amazing clothes were the stories behind each garment.
Chanel Wedding Dress 1937
France
Silk, lace
"For most of us, dreaming of owning a Chanel original is as good as it gets. But for Anne, the daughter of a wealthy Boston family, her dream came true in 1937 in the form of a wedding gown custom made for her by Chanel...Friends of the Bouviers and Kennedys, Anne may have moved in a glittering circle but a Chanel wedding dress, especially one as spectacular as this, would have still made her friends green with envy."
