Off to the Ball

18 February — 17 March 2012

This exhibition is a display of a fantastic private collection donated to the museum in 2011. The fans range from early 19C to late 20C and belonged to Louise Newell, for more than 60 years , until her death at 91, was connected with Hull Savoyards. The French sac-back dress, all handstitched, looks as glowing as the day it was made and is a contrast to the Victorian copy, made for popular fancy dress parties in the late 19C.
