Bendigo Art Gallery is bringing you these two international exhibitions in 2014:
Undressed: 350 years of underwear in fashion
19 July – 26 October 2014
Featuring highlights from the V&A’s extensive collection of underwear, this exhibition looks at the history of private and intimate clothing – from corsets to court mantuas and boudoir wear to bustles - exploring underwear’s function in decorating and manipulating the body.
An exhibition organised by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London
