In addition to the Vivienne Westwood exhibit that starts in March, the de Young museum in San Francisco has just opened an exhibit on historical corsetry: Elegant Distortions. It runs through June. Yay!

if it’s the same exhibition that came to Canberra (National Gallery of Australia) from the V&A, I *loved* it. I went through once, had lunch and went back for another detailed look (was on a day trip with the NSW Art Gallery Society so I could go in as many times as I wanted). I skipped the rest of the NGA. sigh. there was a tweed back, that when you looked at it (as opposed to glance at it) the seaming & shaping was a sheeps face complete with ears.
umm, that should be “there was a tweed BAG”
Yay! Yes, it is the V&A one. Can’t wait!
