Exhibition of dresses:

Dream dresses and dreams of dresses

On March 20^th, the exhibition “Dream dresses and dreams of dresses” opens with many magnificent dresses from the 1920’s to 1950’s.

The dresses once belonged to Astrid Countess Ahlefelt-Laurvig, who lived at the manor Eriksholm from 1936.

The dresses, which were tailored for the countess, are made of precious and exclusive materials such as thin French lace, heavy pure silk, pleated silk tulle, silk taffeta,  crepe de chine, silk organza, chiffon, pure silk satin, broderie anglaise and light Chantilly laces.

The exhibition tells of the development of fashion and society life at the manors throughout the period as well as the personal story of the wearer of the dresses.
