Some people come to meet the mummiesothers the dinos.
For us it was the couture frocks that brought us to the crystal.
Spotlighting fashion greats from Alaia to Dior, the Patricia Harris
Gallery of Textiles and Costume at the Royal
Ontario Museum will set any fashion lovers heart aflutter.
A Westwood toga dress in soft avocado was a favourite as was a ruby red
Dior cocktail frock with five layers of petticoats.
Textiles range from a 19th Century wedding quilt from Ontario to a late
19th Century Japanese kimono covered in weeping cherry leaves and
blossom.
More than enough to get wrapped up in.
