Ballgowns at the V&A

If this unseasonal rain continues until the coming weekend I will be making my way to the Fashion Gallery at the V&A, which is currently playing host to an exhibition of some 80 ballgowns chosen to show the development of formal wear from debutante balls to celebrity events. Designers represented include some of my favourites - Alexander McQueen, Erdem and Stella McCartney - and there are royal gowns on display including Princess Diana's 'Elvis Dress'. It should be a great showcase of British design talent!
