The Wedding Dress: 200 Years of Wedding Fashion (to give it it's official title) is a travelling exhibition organised by the Victoria and Albert Museum. The exhibition has various dresses from different periods of time and has a detailed history for each. We were lucky enough to get there just as a guided tour was starting & the guide was hilarious - she totally knew her stuff and made the group feel comfortable.
The dresses ranged from Victorian-era to modern day and gave a detailed history of the economic and social conditions at the time. My absolute favourite was either the Vera Wang (absolute dream dress) or Gwen Stefani's, which included a velcro train that she could rip off for dancing!
Totally worth the S$11 entrance fee and it was nice to get out of the rain and do something cultural. I believe once the exhibition finishes in Singapore at the end of October, it's moving onto Perth, so I may get a chance to catch up with it again.
The rest of the week has been a blur of rain, broken umbrellas, interviews and endless job hunting. We've managed to fit in a couple of nights out with some great people - don't think I will ever get bored of sitting with a glass of wine by Clarke Quay! Luckily the weather has been gorgeous this afternoon, so I've managed to catch up on some reading by the pool.
Hoping to head to some more exhibitions and events next week - we have a work's party on the beach tomorrow. It's a really hard life at the moment.
