The Darnell Collection is one of the largest and most important collections of fashion in Australia and comprises more than 4000 items from the Regency period to the 1980s. The collection was amassed by Doris Darnell, a Pennsylvanian Quaker, and was later gifted to her goddaughter living in Australia. This exhibition features a selection of Victoria era fashion showing the development of women’s clothing from crinolines to bustles towards the more liberated body shapes of the twentieth century.
