I went to the V&A on Saturday to see the\u00c2\u00a0gorgeous\u00c2\u00a0Ballgowns:British Glamour Since 1950<\/a> exhibition. It was fabulous! They had dresses from every decade so there was a great deal of variety. Some were incredibly elegant and some would have been right up Lady Gaga’s street!<\/p>\n

Photography wasn’t allowed inside the exhibition but it was allowed at some of the other fashion displays in room 45<\/p>\n

I spotted this lovely black & white number. It was black net with white felt polka dots.<\/p>\n

Judging by the quality of my through-a-glass-case camerawork perhaps it would have been better if photography had been restricted there too…<\/p>\n

I debated buying the exhibition poster but held off and picked up the accompanying book instead<\/p>\n

You can buy the book from the V&A online sho<\/a>p but it’s no substitute for seeing the exhibit, however. If you can get there then go and see it. It runs until January 6th and I can’t recommend it more highly. If you wait until October 20th then you can see their Hollywood Costume exhibition as well.<\/p>\n

I’ve been going a bit stir crazy needing some simplish knitting for accompanying tv viewing so I started another beret. This time it’s Meret the mystery beret pattern by Woolly Wormhead<\/a> in some Cascade 220 Heathers \u00c2\u00a0shade 2433<\/p>\n

Beret knitting is certainly proving to be my new sock knitting in that they’re relatively easy, small and I can’t seem to get enough of them.<\/p>\n

I also have a secretish knitting project to get done this week which should be fun. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
