Object of the month
To tie in with London Fashion Week taking place in February, our Object of the Month is this dress covered with bus tickets.
Many of the companies that made up the London Underground Group had their own social and sporting clubs and events. During the 1920s and 30s, fancy dress parties and themed dances became very popular. There were categories for different types of costume, with prizes for the best outfits.
Mildred Woolf made this novelty fancy dress costume for herself in around 1925. She accessorised it with a matching fan, also decorated with bus tickets and a pink silk ribbon, and a headdress made of bus tickets stitched on to a headband.
We don’t know whether she won a prize.
Click on the dress to discover more about it, and see her fan and headdress below.
