I am back from my Saturday visit to Dundee and still ‘recovering’. I say that because I found it all rather overwhelming…so much on display and so colourful and detailed! By the time I got to the mannequin room I was feeling that I simply wanted to go out and come back another day!
I have always found this sort of thing e.g. going around an art gallery or in a clothes shop. For example, when browsing through a rack of blouses don’t give me 50 from which to choose; give me 5 and I can make a decision!
Also what I would have liked to see more of was the actual construction. That's because I sew and might try to make one; the hard part is going to be finding beautiful fabric!
I simply must read up on the topic. I found the stories of how the garment related to social class, occasion, time of day quite fascinating. Which did I like the best? The male garments!

On another completely different topic I attended the Norwegian Julefest of my friend Inger on Saturday. It’s a sort of craft fair with lots of Norwegian food for sale. They held a raffle and … wait for it… I won the main prize!
Here it is; it was baked by a lovely Norwegian lady, Ragna, who lives in Milngavie.
I can think of a few occasions when I might share it. At the moment, it is in my freezer, at Ragna’s suggestion.
