Feels like I sorta went with you . Somewhere in the 70th ( in my childhood ) I had a dress similar to #9 - it was my favorite - drop waist, grey with a row of red cute buttons and a belt on hips made in Germany.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/va-mary-quant-exhibit-photos#post-2074300 Sat, 02 Nov 2019 02:05:56 +0000 Leslie 2074300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was in London in late September and visited the Victoria and Albert Museum. Loved it! I saw the ongoing Mary Quant exhibit on a muggy Sunday morning with a lot of women who had either worn Mary Quant back in the day, had friends who did, or tried to mimic the styles because they could not get their hands on the real thing.&nbsp;</p> <p>I took many pictures, both for myself because I loved the clothes, and for my mom, who has Parkinson's and is now a bit too stiff to handle the trip herself. The rooms were fairly dark and crowded, I did not use flash, and the dresses were in glass cases which leads to unintended reflections. In Picture 30, I can see a shadow of myself taking the picture. But I think captured pretty well. My favorites are 6, 15, and 22. Enjoy! </p>
