Such a contrast to Gandhi and his spinning. The British had nearly destroyed parts of the Indian textile manufacturing activity. This exhibit illustrates what might have been lost, at least for a while, though there was also an industry of making textiles for normal clothing. I hope to see that museum some time as I love museums.

I love these dresses, they are so beautiful embroidered!
I think I could take a few of those to wear too, Sharon! If I had a posh place to wear them. ;-)
I don't think they would look the same on me.
Quite ornate.
Beautiful! And yes, unlike some fashion shows, this one seems to include dresses that could actually be worn in public.
Beautiful!
I'll try on that orange trouser outfit and meet you at the ball. (NOT)

I really like these fashions, makes me wonder how clever people are designing and making them.
What gorgeous pieces! This would be a great exhibit to see in person. I'd love to see those fabrics at a close range.
Such a good work by the designers and dressmakers and I love the colors. Bright and inspiring.
Gorgeous dresses here and last post Sharon, I can see a few that I would happily wear also, my granddaughter would love the 'flouncy' gowns 😊
