Tales of the Wedding Dress Exhibitions

tales_of_the_wedding_dress


A sumptuous and fascinating exhibition looking at
fashions, traditions and personal stories of creating
that very special dress. This beautiful display of
handmade and homemade wedding dresses will be
on display at Cannon Hall Museum throughout the
spring and summer.

Saturday 8 April to Sunday 3 September

Visitors will have a rare opportunity to view
beautifully crafted gowns from a hand-knitted, silk
wool dress taken from a 1930s pattern to a complete
‘Wizard of Oz’ themed ensemble from 2013. The
dresses may differ in materials, design and period,
but all were made here in Barnsley. Explore the
decisions that shaped the beginnings of their
homemade wedding dresses and hear tales behind
women’s lives at the time of their marriage.

Friday 26 May to Sunday 3 September

We will also be hosting a stunning collection of
handmade bridal gowns, worn by stars of major
screen productions. These most romantic and
glamorous dresses are from Cosprop, the world’s
leading costumier to film, television and theatre.
Costumes include the stunning dress worn by
Jenna Coleman as Queen Victoria in the recent ITV
series, Helena Bonham Carter’s gothic gown from
the 1994 film ‘Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein’, and
Keira Knightley’s elegant costume from her film role
as Georgiana in ‘The Duchess’, 2008. The exhibition
highlights the history of the dress designs, an
insight into making the costumes, and reveals
fascinating details about the characters.
